    Nobody cares what Fouts thinks.

    You can't undo what's already been done.

    How many losses did Duran have?

    Also, the guy you've replied to is clearly an alt/troll.

    Possibly, but then LHW was Roy's 3rd weight class.

    It's hard to give something up that you love, that you've been doing all of your life, when you can still fight at a certain level.

    It wasn't 2 stone.

    His weight on fight night was normally around 183 pounds.

    For the Ruiz fight, he weighed around 196 pounds.

    Mackie says that they just added a bit of weight but changed his percentage of body fat.

    He fought Woods in September, 2002, and Ruiz in March, 2003.

    He had around 6 months between the 2 fights.

    They both had different physiques.

    Your other 2 points are again irrelevant.

    Ha!

    Stop taking LSD.

    It may feel great right now, but it's not going to do you any favours in the long run.

    Back in the real world, he was getting his head bounced around by a WW with a 69" reach.

    And by **** did he pay the price..Little fellas always look good against big fellas until the fight settles in, always nearly getting their shots off first, but then the inevitable happens, it takes its toll slowly, Brook was an extreme example of why you don't jump weight at the drop of a hat, and you have to choose wisely, its really ruined his career

    My mind is faster and more creative than a Roy combo and I can match him for modesty too lol

    You're quicker on the draw than Jesse James.

    Whereas your mind is fast, I possess psychic powers. As well as being able to tell what fighters are thinking, I also know that you still haven't watched The Wire.
