Ive always thought he was far better at 140. I mean he was regarded by SOME as p4p the best fighter in the world before he fought Tszyu and its obvious he just can't mix it with the out and out welters. If you look at the fighters who he has looked better against at welter, early on against both Mayweather and Cotto they are fighters who have moved up to welter like him and are probably not natural at that weight whereas people like Baldomir and last night Clottey who are natural welters are just too strong and his punches are just ineffective against them.
If though he dropped back to light welter there are still big fights there for him like Hatton and Mallignagi and maybe even a rematch with Witter if either of them could pick up a belt. He would find his punches were once again affecting his opponents and it would add a good name to the divsion and would be interesting to see if he could recapture his old form.
