    I'd like to know when did Fitz fought at his heaviest and how much lbs was that.

    I've heard that during his tour with Jeffries he weighed around 190 lbs and (if I remember correctly) I've seen a photo from this period and he didn't look overweighed at all.

    As a bonus question: do you believe that Fitz would be capable of fighting at higher weight than LHW with today rules?

    A lot of the weights were just estimates, or them saying how much he weighed. A lot of them listed on boxrec are disputable.

    How many fights do we know which we have his weight given true weigh-in?
