Fighters weight limits
There are a couple of active fighters I wonder how high they will move up by the time they call it a day. With different physics, fighting styles and habits, fighters will be able to move up higher than others.
Without concentrating too much on how effective, competitive or weather they will win a title or not in those divisions, how high do you feel these fighters are capable of moving up by the time there career is done? Nonito Donaire - 140 Juan Manuel Lopez - 140 Yorikas Gamboa - 135 Brandon Rios - 147 Amir Khan - 154 Andre Ward - 190 Carl Froch - 190 Jean Pascal - Heavyweight Any other fighters that you see capable of competing in multiple divisions in the future? |

Guerrero, if he fights on, will move up to at least 147, maybe 154. DeMarco will go up to 147. Segura will go to Bantam. Broner will end up at least at 140, probably 147. I could see Pirog at 175. |

With different physics, fighting styles and habits, fighters will be able to move up higher than others.I agree with all of the above with the exception of Pascal. I don't think he will go heavy. I never considered Pascal a Heavyweight until I came across an interview where he brought it up as a possible future plan. It came from a comment about how he does not see a mega bout in Canada against Bute ever happening, due to Bute not wanting the fight and that he'd possibly be fighting as a Heavyweight by the time Bute does decide to moved up! Pascal is a big dude and I wouldn't put it past him if at one point of his career he decides to move up and have a crack at the Heavyweight division. It seems he has the frame and muscle to eventually add on the weight to make Heavyweight. I'm sure he will be a pretty small Heavyweight and have no idea how he will go considering I have no idea what the Heavyweight will look like then either. Considering Bute's name is being thrown around these boards, at what division do you think his limit will be? I think Cruiser may be pushing it for Bute and see him reaching Light Heavyweight at one point! As for Guerrero isn't he getting there in the age department? Being a pup at 140, I think to eventually surpass the Welterweight limit may be out of his reach. Unless he finds himself coming out of retirement and takes the Erik Morales approach  How about.. Abner Mares - 130 Joseph Agbeko - 126 Mikkell Kessler - 175 Erislandy Lara - 168 (seems small at 154 as it is) Victor Ortiz - 154 (160, if he doesn't have an early exit in boxing..like he appears he will) Saul Alvarez - 168 Julio Cesar Chavez Jr - 175 (that's a big Mexican!) |

Pascal to heavyweight can't be ruled out. Its already overflowing with out of shape guys. |

Bute's limit is going to be 168, Ward will bust him up then go to 175.

JD Wrote:Pascal at heavyweight? Too short? Too much muscle for Heavyweight/Cruiserweight? Weather he is comfortable or struggling to make weight, I think Pascal is a pretty big Light Heavyweight who is still young. With his speed and skills he has shown, I don't think it's too far fetched to see him carry that at a higher weight and eventually having a fight or two at Heavyweight years from now. Unless his career ends earlier than expected? |
