Sure, he can get to 205 in a couple of months or even a few weeks. But in a couple of hours? If he wasn't walking at at least 205, the commission would not have let him fight.

Looking at him, I'm not sure he does. Robert, Someone else made a great point that Frank would have had to weigh 205 or more for that fight… Looking at him, I’m not sure he does.
