Would Holloway do the same to Pettis 145 vs 155?

[Moral Victory]

Let's say Pettis didn't go through the weight cut and was allowed to fight as one whole weight class above, do you think that Holloway would still win convincingly?

To clarify, i meant a 145 Holloway fighting a 155 Pettis.
But sure, what if both fought at 155?

....yep.

Only way Pettis would have a chance is if he fought Max 5 years ago.

That's actually a good question, because Pettis was all jacked up from that failed weight cut, not to mention his morale took a big hit losing his title shot on the scale. I still would have Max winning, but I haven't seen Max fight at 155 before (heaviest I've seen of him is 149) and Pettis obviously has had great success there.

Impossible to know, that's why they actually fight sometimes. The rest is opinion.

Would be a classic. Pettis never looked good at 145. But if on point at 155. Can beat the best. Going with Max but in a hard fight. We might be Blessed with another two division champ in the future.

Not sure if he would finish him with body shots again but Pettis would certainly need a finish to beat Max. Pettis doesn't fight at the kind of pace Holloway does or throw big combos either. Anybody with a pressure style and good cardio can beat Pettis.

Pettis can't do shit to Max no matter Prime Pettis or not.

Hollaway wins either way but its a much closer fight at 155

Yep, that's why i asked what you thought, not what you knew.

Holloway would still win easily.
