    Brandon Rios, two more fights then it is a move up to 140.
    Robert Garcia has announced that after Brandon's next two fights he will campaign at 140. Sounds like a smart move to me. He has struggled to make 135 for some time now.

    Too bad Ortiz is moving up to 147, cause that would of been a great fight at 140.

    Ortiz moving to 147, Alexander moving to 147,

    I really hope that Bradley doesnt go along with all this weight hopping stuff and just puts 140 on lockdown. I miss when a champ would just dominate his division over long periods of time. Hope Bradley is that guy (if hes good enough of course)

    Have you ever noticed an ounce of fat on Bradley ever? I havent, I doubt hell last more than 2 more fights.

    I see Bradley as a guy who's very careful with his diet and conditioning. He should be fine for a while I believe. Hopkins managed to stay at MW for so long bc of his discipline and bc he was running so much.

    Bradley weighed 138 the fight before last, and is on point each and every time out, not to mention hes barely over 5'6'', if at all, and I think he makes 140 for as long as he wants to until maybe mid 30's.

    Exactly! The only problem could be if he gained too much muscle since he loves lifting weight but I guess he knows his body well enough to avoid that.
