    Who do you want to see him fight at 126 or 130?

    Presuming he really can make either weight (I think at this stage feather is a stretch but who knows), where are the money fights you see in those divisions that could actually be made?

    I get that people think it would put him a weight class where he could be dominant, but dominating what? He’s not exactly up for rookie of the year. I’m not sure he has more than a couple of years left (at a couple of fights a year) so maximizing on his earning potential has to be part of the equation. So what’s the path if he drops down?

    I don't want to see him drop down so he can dominate, ... I want to see him drop down to fight at a more optimal weight for him, face the best at those weights win, lose or draw..... Berchelt, santa cruz, Davis... Cant remember who the other belt holders are there atm.. Herring? Emmanuel navarette... Josh Warrington..... Some good fights to be made, Just stay around there the rest of his career.. He went to lightweight.. Challenged himself against bigger men.. And they are, nearly reigned undisputed... No shame in losing, he hasn't looked as impressive as he did in his feather and superfeatherweight days, it could be age, it could be fighting bigger guys, it could be that he isn't as good as many thought.

    I want him to rematch teo and regardless of outcome drop down

    Loma vs Davis is the fight I want

    Tank is too goofy to make 130 anymore so.............

    It seems obvious to me LW is where he belongs. He unified 3 titles there and you can count very quickly the amount of fighters in history who've unified 3 titles at LW.

    He's beaten and dominated 3 current title holders in the division, again you can count very quickly the amount of fighters in history who have done that.

    Plus he has two huge, winnable fights in the division for him: Lopez and Haney. Plus there's Comney and Farmer as well which would be good bouts.

    LW is where he should be and if it happens that Lopez is just better than him, well that's tough luck I guess.

    Do you have any idea what weight Inoue fights in, or do you just name names other posters say are good?

    135 is more of a historic weight than 130. He has better legacy fights at 135 than he has at 130. He has already shown he can be successful there and didnt embarrass himself against Lopez he had 3 belts at the weight ffs. He's a force at the weight.

    He is a force at the weight... But he doesn't look as good at lightweight as he did lower down, he didn't dominate linares, pedraza n from what little I remember didn't dominate Campbell

    People tend to look a little more beatable when they're fighting better opponents.

    Shakur without a doubt... IMO that is a fair fight in terms of body sizes. Teo was too big in the same sense Loma was too big for Rigo
