I don't get why people are saying Till is too big for the division. If you can make the weight, you can fight at that weight class. Having a size advantage isn't necessarily a benefit if you have to cut huge amounts of weight. Other disadvantages occur with such a cut - Rumble Johnson is a perfect example of that.

But he doesn’t make weight. I like the guy, he’s just in the wrong weight class by his own admissions

Between Darren Till and James Vick, we have two great examples of fighters who could (should) be fighting on higher weight class but stay where they are to have size advantage...

Anthony Johnson at WW

Jones at LHW. Even thougu Jones makes 205 comfortably (through rigorous and discipline dieting - and who knows maybe that's what the coke was for) Jones is the biggest LHW in history and is even bigger then good sized HWs like AA and HW Overeem

There's been just as bad offenders and worse offenders
