    At the casino of Montreal...against unknown contender at this date.
    He was a good light heavy when he beat Kovalev but he mention that its was difficult making weight at lhw
    for some times.

    Question; will he be able to have some success at that weight?

    Since you said "some" success, the answer is yes. However, he is 37 years old, hasn't fought in 20 months and has lost two of his last three bouts. I would say some success is the best he could hope for.

    He could have some success, yes. I don't see him fighting a guy like Briedis though.

    Agreed, he had better be managed with delicate care so maybe he can find his way to a good cash out fight

    That would be the ideal scenario for him.
