Margarito would be a nobody if he were in his natural weight div

[Dan...]

Im not saying he should'nt make the weight if he can make it, im just saying if he were not such a big WW he would be an average fighter imo.

Yeah, but so what? The fact is that he is abig Welter and he can clearly make the weight under the rules and still be very strong and win at it. Therefore, what is the problem?

I really cannot come to terms with the whole weight discussion? "so and so is too tall, he should be a MW" "he walks around at whatever, he shouldn't be allowed to fight at that weight"...

Seriously ppl, rules are rules and everyone is fighting under the same set. If I guy can make the weight and then fight healthily at it, what is the problem?

If it was not beneficial for Marg to get down to WW he wouldn't do it.

would he ?

Now please dont say that proves he is a naturaly WW, because it dont it just proves that in some cases losing lots of weight in the right way does not always weaken you or make you suspect durability wise.

Anyone with two eyes can see Margarito is not a natural WW.

Yeah its not that im saying he does not have a good chin naturally, but what i am saying is he would not be taking those flush shots off a guy is own size if he were fighting at his natural weight div. And his skills wouldn't do him any favours either.

good point but I tend to feel that Cotto clottey and Williams have power that can carry all the way up too 160.

What's his natural weight division?

If you think Margarito is a natural WW you are crazy son.

Cotto was struggling at 140 when he first turn pro.

When have margarito struggled at WW never. As soon as he moved up he struggled, so yes he is a natural WW. look at the best WW in History, SRR 5'11", Tito Trinidad 5'11", Hearns 6'0", SRL 5'10". So yes Margarito is a natural WW

Champ, these weight threads go nowhere.
I have given up them.
Who knew this board was filled with medical doctors and nutritionists and dieticians?

That is probably, because since he has gotten his body down he does not let it blow up inbetween fights or he might just condition himself well to get down there.

answer me this then does he look like a WW or a LMW ?

What does height have to do with it.

Which ever weight you can be most effective at is your natural weight.

Margarito boils down to 147 so fair play to him. Should we discredit Bernard Hopkins because he is a feakishly hube 160lb`r?
