    Sorry buddy, just saw this post right now. 1000000% agree hes a fighter that rises to the occasion and opponent -- he better the opponent the better Andrade is. Great post brother as always. Youve always been a top table type dude in my books brother.

    If you make the weight easy, don't use catch-weights and don't drag fighters up to face you I have no complaints. Clearly Garcia is no WW, but Spence didn't drag him up and there was no better fight on the table at the time. If he keeps fighting smaller guys from lower divisions I'd have a problem with it but I don't see that happening.

    Weight bully is a made up term. You make weight you fight. Its not that complicated

    Not reading thru all the posts just going to say no, he isn’t a weight bully. He’s 5’ 9” and doesn’t seem to have trouble making the weight. Not seeing the problem.

    I used to believe in weight bullies but then I considered, If everyone comes down in weight...............to make weight.............how is someone a weight bully? Nearly everyone under CW cuts significant weight to make weight in their respective weight classes that they campaign in................(except the occasional guy that is jumping divisions drastically which is rare). Some people are bigger, taller, more compactly built, etc.....If you make weight, you make weight. Period.
