when changpuek fought kaman it was at lt. heavy. there didn't look to be much difference in size.
it's just when thais give up weight and win it's a big deal but when they lose weight has to be factored in.
at what point doesn't it matter?
hoost is fighting men that weight 100lbs. more than he did at one time.
changpuek comes up to a weight where he looks very lean and muscular, very natural looking. maybe 30 lbs. hoost has gone up 60 lbs.
tommy hearns went from welter to cruiser and even challenged evander holyfield to fight.
chang was probably killing himself to get to the older weight and naturally grew into the s. middle weight or lt. heavyweight once he let go. coban was around the same weight but got fat when he stopped making weight.
if you stop dieting and put on 20-30 lbs. and are still lean guess what,thats your natural weight.
