This man already moved up from 108 lbs to 118 lbs, maybe not a big deal but it still mean something. Wondering what weight would be limit in his career. IMO he should stay in 118 for a while, there is more interesting fights than in 122. And guys in 126 are pretty big for him IMO. Fight with Casimero and then Oubaali for the undisputed championship seems good idea. Luis Nery is maybe ultimate goal, but maybe he would chase all mexican showdown with Navarette. Joshua Greer is also option.

122 or 126 will likely be where he maxes out.

Doubtful that he'd take any kinda supplements that would allow him to succeed at higher weight classes than that. I base that just on his culture.

Difficult to say right now as we wait to see how he has recovered from sustained injuries - along with Derevyanchenko and Spence. As you say, it shouldn't be much higher than the 118lbs he was in that epic against Donnaire.

This is the one of those good things about the lockdown, many people, and not just boxers, are getting good recovery time from injuries instead of just working through them on painkillers.

Keeping fit and focused for a boxer might be a different matter than for the rest of us of course, but similar rules still apply.
