    “Right now I’m not even dropping him. It’s so easy (making weight). I’m talking (he weighs) 167 lbs before training. That is his walk around weight. We did say that he’d fight anybody from 154 to 168 lbs and in those ranges I don’t think that anybody at 154 lbs goes the distance with him.”

    I know Abel said that, but that comes off more as still wanting to keep his fighter's name in the Mayweather sweepstakes, remote chance though it may be.

    Seeing him at the weigh-in, I don't see where 6 pounds could come off of GGG's frame without compromising his performance. He looks perfectly filled out at middleweight right now.

    Yeah that's true, if I go by the pics they had at the Scene. He comes into camp at 168, but that has to be a trimmed & fit 168.

    he has some power but i think you guys are over rating him just a tad bit. took him 8 rounds to get curtis stevens out of there. i mean come on man, curtis stevens? curtis stevens is hardly stellar competition and looked like a midget in there with him.

    C'mon Curtis Stevens was frightened after the second round and in survival shell mode during the whole ****ing time. The guy's short and stocky, doesn't offer much open spots.
