If 147 was his natural division he would have fought a bum there, you know why he fought kolle? He didn't want to go through all that work and stress to make 147 to fight a bum so he fought a bum in a division closer to his natural weight. Agree? of course not!
    In all honesty, it isn't easy to make weight. So what he did was smart...remember it was a keep bussy fight. Why should he kill himself over?

      Boxers can be as skinny as possible, which gives them a height and reach advantage over their opponent. These guys will be taller than their opponents, but will have weaknesses in other areas as a consequence.

      They can also be as strong as possible, which leads to having a wider frame and larger muscles. These guys will be shorter than their opponents, but make up for it in other ways.

      Most boxers end up somewhere in the middle, but Paul Williams and Mike Tyson are two examples of each case. How would Williams do against Tyson? He'd be destroyed, because the strength and power difference would overcome the height and reach difference.

      And part of it is natural body type as well.
      so you're saying pwill is a natural ww?

            I'm saying he's as much of a natural WW as Margarito and Clottey.

            Joe Calzaghe walks around at over 14stone, but what height or reach advantage did he have over Hopkins? None.

            Williams being 160 is not a big deal, because he's doing the same thing that most world class boxers do.

              Fighting under your natural weight can bring consequences. Some fighterz can range for example Floyd Mayweather can range from 130-140. Maybe the same could be said about Margarito and Paul Williams?

                      You 100% right because height and reach advantage wins fights.
