    Forrest and Mayorga were a lot bigger than Cuevas. I didn't see a rehydration clause.

    Yeah but I don't think it would go the distance I think Cuevas stops him after being behind on points Cuevas had serious power.

    You quite literally did that with Vargas.

    No. That’s an example of how how larger Mayorga was than Cuevas. Reading comprehension.

    larger because he barely beat a shot and old opponent? the undisicplined mofo was in bad shape that's all, that's why he never succeeded at the weight afterwards.

    I know I was shocked at the time when he lost to him. Years later I read that he was really struggling at the scales at that point which makes sense. He jumped to 154 after the Mayorga rematch. Another issue was he had a bad shoulder and had to have surgery. I just think for Mayorga just simply had his number just like Barkley had Hearns.
