    I think it's safe to say this guy is faking the funk at 112, move up in weight and face fighters who actually have the power to stun you!

    All fighters hydrate after weigh in. Canelo fights at 155lbs but hydrates to around 170lb on fight night. By your logic he should be fighting Ward.

    How people talk so much about "in-ring weights" yet know so little is beyond me...

    Perhaps he's using 5 liters of IV after the weigh-in. USADA should've seen this coming.

    Eleven pounds isn't that much.

    It is when you fighting in the smallest weight class in boxing and you have a size, weight, and strength advantage over all your opponents...if he is p4p then move up and prove it

    He doesn't, though.

    He started at straw, and I don't think he is cutting down or that he belongs at super bantam (as you seem to be suggesting) or anything.

    you know I can't even name all the supersmall weight classes but I do know the P4P tag requires you move up in weight especially when you fighting at 112 and rehydrating to 122

    From a boxing perspective, there are some fun fights at 115 and 118 to see though.

    He'll probably eventually end up there
