All sounds good but not everyone can just drop a weight class like it's nothing. Rashad has looked really ripped at 205, going to 185 would take a toll on his body and he isn't a young guy anymore. I think he should stay where he is
Didn't Rashad say that he's capable of making the drop?
I can't remember - only he really knows how it would effect him. He's definitely in great shape at 205 and he has some serious speed over the bigger guys there, but personally, I think there's so many more great match-ups for him at 185 and since there's just so much more talent there, top talent to be specific, I think he'd probably be more active unless he gets injured.
Most of the top competition at 205 is already tied up/scheduled for fights. There's more guys at 185 that are deserving to fight Rashad than there are at 205 IMO and I say that mostly because everybody at 205 is already lined up with something. Who is really deserving at 205 to fight Rashad right now besides Glover, who just got injured?
Most of them are already scheduled for fights, so Rashad will likely have to sit out for quite some time again or he'll get a different opponent that may not truly even deserve to set foot in the cage with him, you know what I mean? it'd basically be a lose/lose for Rashad then because a win over them isn't going to do much for him, and if he loses, well, he just lost to a guy that didn't even deserve to fight him and it sends him right down the ladder. At 185, there isn't going to be much of that since there's just so much better talent there in my opinion. Way more.
There's more guys at 185 he could fight.
I don't know how a cut to 185 would effect him, only he does. Maybe he can't do it, I can't say.
I'd like to see him there though. It's just my opinion when I say I believe he could do much better things there and a lot of the reason is because there's so many great fights there for him, there's a lot more good fights at 185 for him than there is at 205 IMO.
