    3 fights now in a row.

    155 - Kirkland.
    155 - Lara.
    155 - Angulo.

    Either agree to fight at the full 154 or move up to 160.

    Strategy. If he ever fights Golovkin he'll make him go down to 155.

    He's been fighting non-title fights. There's no need to fight at the division limit if there's no title on the line.

    This if no title is on the line a lb or 1/2 a lb is no big deal.
