    then why did margaritto move up to 154 a while back?

      Panama Al Brown was nearly 6 feet tall with a 75 inch reach and he fought at 118 lbs back when fighters weighed in at the day of the fight. Most of his opponents were 5'5 or shorter

      If Margarito can make the weight, it's all fair. I've seen bigger welterweights than him.

      He has fought and beaten fighters like Sergio Martinez for example who is just as big as Margarito if not bigger.

        True; not many big names at 154. I think a fight with Forrest would draw some interest. He could move up to 160, but I'm not sure. Pavlik would be a nice draw...but not as big as a Cotto rematch, Oscar, Shane, etc.

        Margarito needs to make that money now because he hasn't made a lot during his career from what I heard. I think he will avoid Williams because he wants more fights with his title and get paid. If he fights Williams next, he has a solid chance of losing and it isn't worth it from a business standpoint...unless you take the stance of saying beating Williams will enhance his rep.

            According to some, Margarito has yet to fight a guy bigger than him.

                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.
