Is Antonio Margarito The Biggest Welterweight Ever?

[AKATheMack]

I was about to quit coming to the forums alltogether I thought the question was is he the best ever. He does seem built better than most of the other tall WW. Cintron is built pretty well also. Williams and Hearns both look much smaller than Margo

[The Hammer]

Paul Williams is much bigger than Antonio Margarito!

He's 6'2" Margarito is 5'11"
Williams has a reach of 82" (longer than the Klitschkos) while Margarito's is only 73".

Anyone could see in their fight, that Williams is MUCH bigger than Tony!

[IMDAZED]

I don't understand why people are mad that Antonio Margarito...stays in shape?

He's been making welter since he was EIGHTEEN, the man is supremely conditioned. That's not a bad thing! If height is what you use to equal big then Williams, Tito, Oscar, Hearns, and a slew of other fighters are just as big.

Williams and Hearns are certianly bigger... I would even say that Sugar Ray Leonard is bigger than him.

I thought Daniel Santos was bigger than Marge at when they fought at Welter.

Margarito actually moved up to fight Santos at Junior Middle.

Edited: Sorry, forgot about their first bout at 147.

These type of threads remind me of Kat Williams and his "haters" comedy act.

actually Margo is a thin Welter. Non Thin Welters are like Cotto, Gomez etc.

Also there are plenty of fighters that are/were just as big or bigger than Marg and a welter.

One of the reasons Marg looks so big is because he IS skinny. WHich makes him look even taller.

Did this make any sense to anyone else?
Cotto Like 5'7" Gomez 5'9" of course theyll be more stocky if they werent, and were thin like Marg. they would be lightweights.
