iamasadlittleboy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Negron weighed 211...further making me wonder WHY THE FECK GO TO HEAVYWEIGHT? The guy can make cruiser very very easily (less than 12 months ago he was in the 180's) just make no sense to go up this early in his career.

gavpowell Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Personally I'd want to get a move on and get to heavy ASAP in an effort to make a name for myself clearing out a weak division. The coming generation may be pretty talented, and that's a lot harder to conquer than a bunch of no-hopers and two ageing Ukranians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke is 22, he's not of the Pulev/Helenius generation but with the Gerbers, the Andy Ruiz's and the Joey Dawejko's of the world. He has a lot of time to mature into a heavyweight rather than being rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
