    Chico had a small frame. At 5'11 and 70 reach, he fought at 130! Would you say he is a WW? Its was obvious after seeing the Clottey fight...that he didn't belong at WW

    Just an example.

    Size shouldn't only be indicated by height and reach but by frame. I'm guessing Mike Tyson should be fighting at WW?
    You don't have the slightest idea what a frame is. please see the previous post before this one.

      this is just ******
      its getting old. Who gives a **** about height. If the dude can make it to 147 and take it up to whatever he wants 160, 168 who gives a ****. More power to him. I give him credit cause he is able to do it. Do I think he is the best WW no I dont. I cant wait for Tony to stop trying to cash a cow that has already been milked and finally get a fight with PW beat him then what nothing. Dont hate a dude for being able to make 5-6 different weight classes. THe bigger they are the harder they fall. Besides he was beaten by a smaller nobody in Quintana. PWill is no rick james and not a super freak so quit trying to amke the size an issue. He is not as good as most people make him out to be or as bad as others do. Just give it time and see where it pans out

        Body frame size is determined by a person's wrist circumference in relation to his height. For example, a man whose height is over 5' 5" and wrist is 6" would fall into the small-boned category. These two measurements are equivalent to about a 12 year old male kid. So you still think pwill has a small frame?

          Looking through each fighter's career, who has fought more people his own size?
          but williams looks like a bean pole.

            I gave you good examples. What else can I say?
            Other then that I'm with that whole "You make the weight, then you can fight there" If your NOT then so be it. If you'd like to believe Paul picks on small people then so be it. I'm done

                If they can make the weight remember? After all, its Williams fans who say Margarito will only fight smaller fighters.

                    I wouldn't say that. I agree that Williams fans have no right to say it. My thing is neither do Margarito fans. I agree about making the weight
