ATG fighters who were massively nerfed when they moved up in weight

And the frame to absorb bigger men's punches.

 

Hi Buddy.
Appreciate your response, fully agree he was a very good to great MW , I was more thinking along the lines of his step up to take on a fully fledged MW in Carter, and the result therein , as in all my picks, it was about the step up for the first time I believe.
That said you make an interesting and thought provoking point, not for the first time.
Have enjoyed your contributions thus far, and look forward to many more.
stay safe bolo, chat soon hombre.
