Should Alvarez drop to 145?

Eddie is the exact same size and build as his buddy Frankie.
Yes, Alvarez should move to FW. He'd probably be a beast there.

Melendez is in the same boat.

Exact same size huh? Do you train with them everyday to know this?

Stupid ass comment

This is completely false! Body types are vastly different, Alvarez cuts from 175+ to make 155, and Gil is taller with a dif body type then both.

Alvarez vs Sanchez would be fine at 155lbs.

Oh I remember when the general Sherdog opinion of Alvarez was:

"Future UFC LW champion. He's going to destroy Cerrone and challenge Pettis for the title. He's a bad match-up for Pettis, too."

and now it's this.

I definitely think he could find more success at the highest level as a FW, but I'll support and watch him wherever he decides to go, just like Edgar. It's up to him where he wants to fight.
