I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean?
What he's going for,is if you can learn to drive with your hips,and stay down in weight, you can stay down in weight class
If you can do that you should have reach in your division,which means you can pepper your opponent,and if your throwing your punches right,you'll maintain speed
Not everyone has the build to be a Heavyweight,play to your natural advantages,Tommy Hearns had a very long career doing that
I'm not trying to place myself in any particular class or anything, but if you were to look at me, there's almost no way I could fight efficiently at this weight. Sure, it may sound great on paper, but I'm borderline skin and bones right now and really dont see how I could change that.
