He could then cut weight in the final week before the weigh ins and end up in the fight within 5-10lbs of forrest. And from there, he could work it all down in the gym in 4 months before the next fight and find himself in the position to be cutting for middleweight. If he has one fight every 4 months, which he pretty much does, and one in the middle of those 3 is the LHW fight, he essentially has a minimum of 8 months to control his BMI. And he know when his LHW fights are due, its all in his contract. Nobody questioned that forrest is physically larger. It didn't need any picture or you telling me how lovely and sculpted Forrest is at a weigh in. What you say in the start of the post I quoted was that it is rediculous for a fighter to manipulate his weight by 40lbs either way in 4 months and what I say is you are fucking wrong. And I was equating you being wrong about this to you being wrong about the reach difference. this discussion is about weight, not about mass and size, will he have a similar muscular build by fight time? No. But that was never the argument.

That was my argument. People were saying size wouldn't be a factor. Size is a factor, Forrest is the much larger man, and can bull him around.

Eat my balls.
