whitaker doing well at mw has a lot more to do with him evolving as a fighter than cutting less weight imo. He was a 23 year old kid who fought a few notable oponents before facing better competition. He is way more experienced and mature now. Rockhold got ktfo many times and he is not getting any younger.I dunno Robert Whitaker got KO'd by Wonderboy then decided to move up to MW.
Cutting a lot of weight means you can be more dehydrated and you've got less fluids around your brain so you're easier to KO.
It's like in boxing the guys who've died after a fight have usually been ones who've cut a lot of weight, I don't believe anyone's ever died at HW.
