Ok, fine, you believe that if you wish, but you have fcuk all to base that belief on.Verdi wrote: ↑19 Nov 2021, 15:23Of course one guy is much bigger than the other, but still Makabu is a small cruiserweight.

I'm not getting salty, but you're being absurd.

You can’t say Makabu isn’t a small cruiser. He’s neither a huge or small one. He’s just a genuine cruiser.
No doubt he could make 175lbs; he deffo could given the right nutrition and dieting but he’d be a shadow. Kinda like Bellew. Canelo is fighting a genuine cruiser here; no need for any real discussion on it.
If Canelo’s life depended on him making 147lbs and forgetting physical performance… he’s coming in at 146lbs with a gun to his head.

I'm not saying it couldn't be done, just that it wouldn't really be desirable.Dioufy wrote: ↑19 Nov 2021, 16:26jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑19 Nov 2021, 16:12Ok, fine, you believe that if you wish, but you have fcuk all to base that belief on.Verdi wrote: ↑19 Nov 2021, 15:23

Yeah, I agree. Makabu would be a nobody at light heavy.jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑19 Nov 2021, 16:31I'm not saying it couldn't be done, just that it wouldn't really be desirable.Dioufy wrote: ↑19 Nov 2021, 16:26jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑19 Nov 2021, 16:12
