This is very true. Thats why after Jones went HW(with all muscle) and than lost weight to go back to LHW he hasn't been able to be himself. His body's took to much of a beating with all the up and down weight gains and drops of muscle to compete at the same level.
WTF? Give your head a shake pal. :-( Are you making a moral judgement here? When you climb in the ring with the world's best fighters... all who are looking to beat the living fk out of you and destroy your career, you take any advantage given within the rules... and then some!
