    Just seen the article over at the scene, says he's not done yet. What you think of this move?

    Just to prolong his career and ring earnings. Same as Witter.

    His flaws will still get him found out versus the best at 147.

    I was about to say that he'll have a fight with Witter before the year is out :D

    Pointless move and done only to prolong a career that has come to a dead end.

    You gotta wonder if his power will be just as explosive at the higher weight.

    Who's he going to fight? He's certainly not worthy of any big fights at the moment.

    Would anyone be REALLY surprised if he ends up with Matthew Hatton in The Garden? :roll:

    he'll be a machine at 147. Nobody with his speed or power up there. He just **** out being at 140 with a bloke faster than him

    That might not be a bad shout.

    Very desperate move.

    I think he'll be more explosive moving up in weight.
    Klitschko's watch out!

    Surely paulie could move down to lightweight? He's not that big.

    Or, dare we even think it, even more potent:shock:. Wouldn't it be funny as **** if he just started clean KOing people at 147?:lol:.

    This is what I was thinking as well. He made the catchweight against Diaz easily and I reckon he'd perform well at 135. 147 is a strange, strange move. He'll probably end up adding even more padding to Berto's record, or maybe he'll go for one of the European titlists:think.

    Well I think I heard something before the Khan fight, that he was having to work pretty hard to get to 140, not sure where he's putting that weight though, there not a pick on him.

    147 wont go well, I think he'd stay at 140 if there was guys there he could beat.
