    Depends if he can keep his main asset, his speed.

    He needs to finish up at 140lbs which he is more than capable of doing, I still think he can beat Bradley after he beats Peterson in the rematch.

    147lbs is a different task though, he has a good chance, but I will wait for him to finish at 140lbs before I got more in depth.

    Good man. I love a game chap who backs his picks with cash.

    :think...

    ...to that question I give an emphatic HELL NO!!! Imagine Kirkland smothering him on the ropes, that would end up being a slaughter, he better keep his ass in the welterweight division:verysad

    Disagree. Yes he is tall and somewhat "lanky" but when he rehydrated for the peterson fight he weighted in at 149 i think? At welter he will be kinda outsized and out muscled at jm he will be way too small weight wise unless he he delibratly tries to get much bigger then he is natrually

    He does not have the physical strength, intelligence, or pop in his shots to be successful at 154lbs IMO. I have doubts about his move to 147lbs aswell. He's not as big as people make out, and any good pressure fighter at 147, never mind 154lbs could have a field day with him.

    He can't even fight at 140. He has no chin he wouldn't even be a contender at 154.
