Why doesn't margaritto just man up and fight at a higher weight class

[Vasyl’s dad]

i dont know who those guys are , mayby they were ******* too like margarittaaa

Oh, so thats your schtick eh?

Gotcha lame ass.

[mrpain81]

Yeah and Cotto moved up to prove himself. Margs moved to 154 and lost and then got scared and moved back down. You don't see Cotto moving back down.

LMAO

You act like he was ko'd

He lost a very close decision in Santos backyard, Cotto would have to cut off one of his legs to make 140 again.

[Kastrioti]

seriously he is 5"11 and has a muscular type of body, he doesn't belong in welter. He should man up and move to middleweight and stop picking on lil kids

Why? If he's comfortable in that weight there's no reason why he should move up.

Context
The WW Division

Cotto's: 2nd Division
Margarito's: 2nd Division
Shane Mosley: 3rd Division
Andre Berto: 2nd Division
Joshua Clottey:2nd Division
Kermit Cintron: 1st Division
Paul Williams:2nd Division
CarlosQuintana:1st Division

As of now, no body has a real advantage at WW...
because it is basically all their 1st or 2nd division.

That's actually not correct. Williams has fought in 3 divisions and started at JMW.

i just find it irritating he feels comfortable fighting guys that much smaller then him

[Horus]

But going by that logic I dont even know why we have even have weigh in's in boxing.because if a life long Middleweight could make 147 for one day which is only a 13 pounds to lose he can now say he is a WW, and fight against Naturally smaller fighters. Instead of fighters his own size. and Bully a whole division...Which is not right. from a competitive stand point

The Point is this If a fight is contracted for 147-pounds and you show up on fight night at 168 , then you have breeched the contract. Without rules, where's the legitimacy?

It cannot be healthy to lose 20 plus pounds for an official weigh-in and then gain almost 20 pounds before stepping between the ropes.

I talk about this about this before with Cotto..

We all know that Miguel Cotto drained himself to make weight for the welther weight division....he has been doing this for years he even did it at 140, when He entered the ring weighing 157-pounds, making him a Jr. Middleweight defending his Jr. Welterweight Title over his 140-pound challenger, DeMarcus Corley.

You have to wonder how fighters who do this would fare against contenders who enter the ring weighing 154 or more, like some fighters in the WW division do all the time.

Without rules, where's the legitimacy?

Lemme see, Cintron, Clottey and PW? 3 of his last 5 fights. much smaller then him?

You are irriatated bcuz you have IBS.

Margarito should move up and fight B-Hop...Hopkins will play with that bum all night long
