Changpeuk went up the weights to fight Robbie, and was at what had become an 'acceptable' difference. They had great fights and the weight difference served as an excellent handicap which i think the results bare out.
But Robbie's natural weight as he got older took him further away from comparabilty, i think.
I also think that Robbie (especially) and Ernesto are not Heavyweights (in the true sence). It wouldn't suprise me if Rob trained like he used to to make 72 he could probably have stayed under 85kg. But once the 82kg mark gets passed, they couldn't get down low enough to fight Thai's (which was the big attraction in those days in Holland) so, left in no mans land, they both went up to heavyweight because thats where the money was.
I guess they couldn't gripe about loosing to heavier men, they forced their weight up to that.
Cheungpeuk fought at these weights because his management told him to (thats not to say he didn't want to, it must have killed him to make weight in his home country)
I think Kiartsongrits best/comfortable upper limit is now 75kg, although he always looked comfy at 72 outside of Thailand.
