I think he could still fight at 126. After he destroyed Donaire there was nothing left for him but the Russian and Arum was not interested. He's huge sure and could most likely fight at 135 but there was nobody left at feather to motivate him to burn it off. He didn't even try to make weight for Marriaga and when he weighed in a pound heavy Roy said he walked around the block once. Perhaps you are right though or they do some catch thing. Maybe the Russian is getting a little tired of struggling also. He's pretty big himself.
I remember Walters claiming that the 8 months inactivity leading up to the Donaire fight had contributed to him missing weight. That was October 2014. Since then he fought the Sosa fight at 130. I'm not sure how comfortable he will be losing those extra pounds and what condition he would enter the ring in.

Either way lets hope they can get this done.
