Yah, this stuff makes it all kinda boring.

I find that issues regarding weight get tossed around as excuses for losing far too often...

"My guy should stay at junior welterweight, he's just not that good at welterweight" Never mind the fact that welterweight division is heavily populated with better fighters. Or how about "if they'd fought at junior welterweight, my hero would have won".

"The weight drop from Heavyweight to Lightheavy obviously was affecting him" ... more than two years after the fact.

So and So was a natural welterweight, so you can't say the guy who beat him at middleweight is better.

The list goes on. If your favorite fighter is all that great, he should be able to deal with weight changes. Most of the great ones have.
