    160 is possible, but 168 and up is pushing it :yep

    Maybe - if he picked the weakest beltholder in each division.

    Could he become the best from 147-175? No!

    Depends entirely on how his body thickens. He's thin as **** right now. He'd need a LOT of mass to make the jump to 168-175. He has time, but I see him maxing @ 160. And then again, AA and Pav have the ability to starch him.

    Interim. Dzinzurik hold the legit version.

    Oops... beat me. But it's basically a #1 contender belt. Ridiculous in the long thought...

    Technically, you're right, I just don't like to count it because it was the only fight in history I've seen two weight class's titles on the line at the same time and somehow, the light heavyweight title was included even though the weight limit was set at 168.

    If you're the light heavyweight champ then you can defend that title at any weight below 175. Those are the rules

    The way it happened and can happen is that the fighters have to weigh-in at 168, then come back and weigh-in again over 168, and it has to be approved by whatever organisation the belt is from. You cannot defend a LHW belt at 168 and below. It was a double weigh-in. The fighters just hydrate some and weigh-in again. As long as they weigh 168.1 is can be done, but I know this was done very few times, if not just the one instance.

    Well, if Paul is able to carry weight and retain his speed then he just might some day. What do you mean new hero? We have lots of fighters and don't just cling to one.

    Doesn't it count "technically'?
