    Leon, there are always outliers in statistical analysis. No surprise here considering that Trinidad is a world class talent. It means that he belongs to the outliers.

    No problem. There are always exceptions. I did real quick calculations (without verifying if they were correct) and it actually shows Trinidads optimal fighting weight around 157-158. Which is probably what he came in fighting in his welterweight days, and why he also looked so good at 154 when he didn't have to drain all the way down to weltwerweight. Also, I think it shows he was a small middleweight considering his height, but still not small enough to say he didn't have the size to compete at 160.
