    I have always thought Bellew looked gaunt at 175lb and look forward to seeing him at the higher weight class

    I am not so sure on Cleverly, but await his 200lb debut on 1st feb

    Woodhouse tried the lower weight and came back up

    FW is talking about BJS vs James Degale whereas I would like to see if he could make 154lb where he may have more power

    Frankie Gavin - Is highly talented, but again will his lack of power show at the top end. I would like to see him at 140lb.

    Gavin Rees - with his height he should make 130lb

    Rios has no business being at welter.

    Saul Alverez -should be middleweight
    Blly Joe Saunders- should be a light-middleweight
    Lee Purdy- should be a light welterweight
    Adrian Broner- should be a lightweight
    Tony Bellew- should be a Cruiserweight
    Chris Eubank Jr- Should be a light middleweight

    What about Roman Gonzalez?

    This guy could flatten most of the top FeatherW's ……!

    Move up for God's sake.

    How can Purdy make 140 when he kills himself making 147?

    Chavez JR should't go to 168 either, 160 means he is the much bigger man in the ring and suits his bullying style.

    Ward to 175. Many great fights for him and these are his prime years.
    Solis to 200. Looked amazing in the amateurs at this weight, looks like a fat slob these days.
    Rios back to 140.
    GGG to 168, 160, 154 simultaneously holding titles at three weights.
    Agree Donaire back to 122.
    Broner to 135.
    Manny to 140 (and fight Garcia)

    Saul Alvarez is too short to be a middleweight. He is almost as tall as Mayweather, but his reach is shorter. He's just too heavy built, he's like a bull. Not on the arms, that are average, but in the head/neck/waist/legs.

    Just dont think he looks healthy at all on the scales his walking around weight is around 180 and i think he sacrifices alot of power getting down to 154.

    His fight with Mayweather at the catchweight was ridicolous he looked so ill the week leading up to the fight

    Agreed. He was skin and bones on the scales.
