I see your point but you left out the part of him(Margorito) begging for a fight with Oscar...That may be true about Arum hyping up Margorito by calling him " The Most Feared Man in Boxing" but the point still remains is that Margorito is just as guilty as Willliams in this matter (begging for a big money fight with De La Hoya) Me as a fan I understand that fighters try to make the most out of their career....Hell, everybody does that if they have a career...My only problem is with fans that act is if Williams is wrong for trying to fight the top ranked WW...
To answer your question about the height...Lets be fair here...Isnt Margorito a big WW himself (5'11 compared to 6'1 isnt much of a height difference)?...So again when has boxing been divided up into height divisions...If you can make the weight, whats the problem with him fighting at WW. Size and height doesnt always give the upper hand in a fight...its advantage for some while it may be someone's downfall..Look at Tyosn he was knocking 6"+ niccas out...So I have to disagree with you there...Another tall fighter for his weight class was Tommy Hearns. Sugar Ray Leonard didnt seem to be bothered by Hearns height...He did what he had to do to win.
You made another comment about him starving himself to make that weight. (147) dont you thinkg starving yourself would put you at a DISADVANTAGE when fighting in those smaller weight classes? You wont have all of your energy from the dramatic weight loss so I dont understand why he would starve himself to do that...He seems to make that weight just fine IMO.
