    Bradley too old, too small and too light hitting to move up in weight...

    once he is too big for 147 he needs to retire.

    Canelo can barely make 154

    Peterson should retire

    D.Garcia is on the brink of moving to 147

    Thurman gives away alot moving away from 147...should stick around for atleast another 2 years...needs to get bigger fights ASAP

    Moving up needlessly is kinda stupid to me... and seems to be an obsession in todays boxing world. Some fighters are simply made to be in the weightclass they are in.

    I like seeing fights between two guys who belong in the same weightclass... not seeing how far up fighters can reach til they lose to someone bigger that they shouldnt be fighting in the first place.

    Guys who are obviously draining themselves badly to make the weight they were at are the only fighters i really care to see move up. I like fighters ruling divisions with iron fists.

    Chavez jr out of middle
    Cotto out of 140
    Canelo soon out of 154

    These are cases of fighters literally growing out of a division, and to me is usually the only reason i like seeing fighters move up. And really, its the only reason they should be moving up.
