    On the Cuadras fight:

    “I was more than ready for the opportunity. I only had to lose like five pounds. That was the best part. I rehydrated to about 130.”

    No ****, he was bigger than SSR who was always known as a massive super flyweight. He's a total weight bully.

    Hmmm, not quite good enough unfortunately.

    128/129 are "about 130" too

    Who cares. If you can make the weight you can make the weight.

    Of course. I just want to see Bam fight dudes his size and not rely on his physical size as an advantage. He can easily compete at 118/122.

    If he can make weight he should fight in this division.

    It's why I never gave Pac grief for fighting at SBW or FW.

    Pac fought on a Tyson undercard and rehydrated to 129 when he was fighting at SBW.

    Exactly. Fighter have rehydrated as long as boxing exists.

    If you give them 24 hours that's a systematic problem, not an individual problem.

    He's just knocked out 2 genuine top fighters, if he beats Estrada next he's on a good path to the top.

    Him and Shakur Stevenson make a mockery of how slow Tank is stepping up his comp

    it matters.. same-day ways would stamp some of this out, but the fact is within 24-hours even the small guys can rehydrate 10lbs which is multiple divisions at those small weights , sport is about margins.. & some fighters capitalise on 24 hour rehydration.. it's not illegal but it's clear on fight night some boxers are naturally bigger than their opposition

    I concur, but also believe you can still be a weight bully.
