He obviously didn't really try to make weight. He must want to be the bigger man, like Jacobs when he fought Golovkin.
Hey do you want a big opportunity to skyrocket up the rankings with a win? Make decent money if you lose, but be in a position to make big money if you win? All you have to do is sign this contract and come in at the specified weight! Can you do that? No, no he can't.
