What happened to Goossen? And why 140? Both bad moves.

I think he had to do 140lbs.
He won't be as effective at this weight, but age and WARS perhaps, eh?

Without Goosen... that's a mistake. Diego's had so much success with him.

Agreed brother. Goossen was good for Chico. What do you mean by he had to fight at 140,as in contractual obligations? I think he should have moved to 147!! He's too tall for 140,his age,and all that draining! I also believe he would fill his frame impressively at 147 too and that power is awesome! Imagine if he used the jab and just boxed on the outside more,he would be UNSTOPPABLE!

At 135, he was tall, "FAST", and imposing. At 147 he's average, slower, fighting stronger chins. Hell I can make 147 and Chico's just about as tall as me. He's ordinary. His power carried to small men, but 147 is a pretty big division, contrary to common thought.

I don't think his power will carry on to 147lbs. (For example: Gatti's didn't.) But We'll see. Some do; Tito comes to mind of course. But I don't think so. Milk that 140 as much as possible and be the BIG TALL guy Chico LOVES to have. Chico has never fought anybody taller than him, I believe. He bragged about being taller than Casa and Freitas before too. He loves that edge of height and leverage.
