He might be right, that does make sense.

I know it will never happen but it would be awesome if weights were done away with completely at least for a while then you'd see how good people truly were.

It would great to hear Floyd Mayweather going on about he's the greatest fighter ever and then getting laid out by Jeremy Bates
