    It's one thing being ****. But he'd literally never weighed in under the middleweight limit. How? Why? What? :huh

    160 may be weak but hard to justify that ranking.

    the vast majority of prospects never fight at the weight limit until they fight for a belt or some class of title, no different with wade

    this isnt a problem

    He was basically a SMW, and hadn't even beat any clear top100 opponent until Al bought him a victory over Soliman wich gave him the bogus ranking.
    Still him being American caused some here to believe he would test or even beat Golovkin for whatever reason.

    He's was 'competing' for a world title here. You shouldn't be in a mandatory position in a weight class you've never fought in.

    Any examples of someone having a world title fight where they've not once weighed in under the division limit?

    B-Hop was 22-1 when he fought Roy Jones for the vacant IBF MW strap. He was ranked #1 and Jones was #2 but he'd only fought at MW a total of 3 times.

    B-Hop's 2 fights prior to facing Jones, under the MW limit

    Wayne Powell 30-3-2
    Gilbert Baptist 26-14-0

    And the other was in his 6th fight

    Khalif Shabazz 10-11-0
