No one is saying it is easier, but not all 15 lbs are created equal

Ever heard the term "cut weight"? That's what fighters do, and more often than not includes dehydrating themselves a day before the weigh-in to shed 5-10 lbs of water to make the weight for the fight.

You also have to consider the size of the individual. Losing 15 lbs where you are 364 lbs is not the same as losing 15 lbs when you are say 200 lbs: the percentage of water+fat+muscle mass loss would be much higher in a person who weighs less.

In any case, I wouldn't mind seeing Cody in B&G with the 32nd pick. One minicap with the Saints and he'll be either dead or a svelte 300 lbs
