    If AA is really blowing up to 195-200lbs between fights he is just ****ing up with his career, that's flat out irresponsible and he's got no one but himself to blame for it.

    This story of him being too big and all is pure BS, he should be able to make 160lbs without much trouble, considering his age and size.

    Any that's his fault if he lets himself blow up between fights. Don't tell me that's not a fair comparison either. B-hop was pretty much a LHW for several years when he was at 160. You know what though? He ate properly and ran 8 or so miles a day. It's called dedication.

    Winky Wright always has blown up to 190 between fights and I'm talking even when he fought at 154 and he was not weight drained. These weight excuses for Abraham are pathetic.

    Yes it is called dedication, and not many can do it the way Hops has. However, as I mentioned elsewhere, Pavlik never let's his weight go over 175-77, and he lives on freaking cabbage soup the last few days before a weigh in. I've been calling bull**** on this "Arthur is weight drained" argument for over two years.

    It's total bull****. No serious fighter should be letting theirselves go up in weight like that if it's a problem. A few fighters get away with it like Winky and Hatton but the excuse for Abraham is pathetic. Abraham is in even more trouble if he try's to fight at 168. If he is so undedicated I don't see how he's gonna make weight any better at SMW if he blows up to 200. Some people lose weight easier than others but Abraham should have learned his limitations by now.
