Both are good solid fighters. Which has the right to claim to be the man at 147. Is it Margarito with his impressive win over Cotto and being labeled the "most feared men in boxing" by Arum because of other boxers willingness to avoid fighting him? Or is it Pwill by already defeating Margarito and offering Margarito his biggest purse to date and still couldnt convince Margarito to fight him.....Which of the two has the right to be called the best welter?...
Well one beat the other, so that should pretty much solve that little question of yours. Oh and the loser doesn't want a rematch "yet". LOL.
Margarito is a top dog for sure, but this pretty much sums it up. If Margarito wants to be considered the better man at any weight class, he has to avenge that loss.
Spin it any way you want, Paul won that fight clearly, and that was just over a year ago.
Only a rematch will truely decide. Williams won that first fight and actually both fighters are better now than they were then. Still I think Williams beats him again.
