You know what they say...... "rules are made to be broken."

Someone like Junior is not skilled enough to contend in his natural weight division, where he's got nothing to offer but a famous name and a better than average chin. So he uses his family influences (WBC chief Jose Sulaiman is his godfather and lifetime chum of Junior's dad), and bends the living shit out of the rules. Not to mention that Junior was previously suspended for the use of diuretics in order to artificially make weight and then bloat up 25-30 pounds. So what do you end up with? A fight between a poor bastard, and someone who is TWO weight divisions above him.

And they have the nerve to call it sport......
