Probably Matthysse was the last time he could make it unaffected.

His last fight with Peterson was a catchweight of 143, surely that would have suited him if it were down to that? He had a few bad showings before fighting Mattyhse, Kendall Holt or the first one with Morales at least, he didn't really look better there than he has recently. I feel like Garcia and Matthysse both get overrated by a lot of people on here, Terrence Crawford would spank them both badly imo.
