If he wants to win a title, he really needs to go to MW. SMW is to strong for him. He should go after a NABF or USBA title at MW and then wait til Pavlik and Abraham outgrow MW to go for a title.
I dont see how if just a couple fights he moved from 154 to 168. Look at his body I doubt he was seriously struggling to make weights.
saying the same thing to my brother. he is just too small and too soft to be fighting at SMW in my opinion. he may beat a few but if 154 is possible for him he should do it.
