    That is just one of the most incredible things I've ever heard - how in god's name can he weigh that much on fight night and still be that slick, quick, slippery, and elusive? He must have at least 10-15lbs on most of his opponents and yet they can barely lay a glove on him. It just doesn't make any sense at all - it's like watching an obese mongoose with lead boots on toying with a cobra evading its every strike with utter ease. This is why Gypsy Slickness is the gold standard when it comes to Slickness.

    Must be the gypsy thing, look at Tyson.

    On a more serious note, I don’t think that being good at fighting guys he’s outweighting is such an accomplishment.

    It definitely is a gypsy thing

    The slickest HW on the planet is a gypsy (Tyson ''Too Fast'' Fury)

    The second slickest HW on the planet is a gypsy (Hughie Lewis Fury)

    And the slickest MW on the planet is also a gypsy (BJS 2.0)

    The scariest thing about BJS 2.0 isn't just his otherworldly Gypsy Slickness, it's the fact that he only started training properly 2 fights ago, prior to that he trained like a lazy novice schoolboy amateur.

    No way he weighs 185 on fight night. 178 tops. He is just trying to intimidate Andrade
