    I believe light middle would be his best weight. Imn not sure how great a super middle he would make

    Welterweight was his best weight. It's not like he had any difficulties weighing in. Why would he be any better at Lt. Middle?

    I've heard he struggled making welter weight. 154 probably would have been best for him.

    When? Maybe toward the latter end of his reign there, but it wasn't an issue in his prime. He started his career as a Lightweight.
