His rationale for this seemed pretty stupid to me. He said in that interview that he doesn't normally feel the shots but he did against Stevenson. That was simply down to the fact that Stevenson was by far the best fighter he's been in with. And if you're feeling the shots from a small 175lber, you'll feel it against Cruisers who rehydrate to Heavyweights and the same will happen again. Tony should stay at 175, build himself up and target Shumanov if he wants to be a World Champion.
