    no... the biggest ever is exaggerating a bit much

      The fact that you say that with Paul Williams in your avatar is hilarious.

      Williams may be skinny as a tooth pick, but he's also 6'3 and has freakish reach.

      A guy people havent mentioned is Trinidad, who had the same build as Marg did.

        Hugo Pineda was one of the biggest welterweights I've ever seen. He stood 6 foot 1, and when he fought Tito, entered the ring at 167 pounds. His upper body looked like that of a light heavyweight. and his legs weren't exactly toothpicks either. With his size, I have no idea how he was able to make those lower weights. Oddly enough, Pineda started his career at featherweight.

          Don't think so. Margarito had the bigger frame.
