Agreed. Not many fighters can move down in weight at the end of their careers and be sucessful. Byrd was awful when he lost weight. Shane Mosley vs Margarito is an example of the contrary. Floyd obviously dropped down aswel after the Oscar win at light middle and Marquez was able to beat Kats after fighting at welter but in general weight loss is not good for an old fighter. Shane has gotta do it in his next fight and he's touching 40
