Just wondering what people thought about this.

Nah he just got his ass kicked and he had been fighting at that weight for years and he looked plenty strong for that fight. He just got outclassed is all. -
No it doesn't. That fight was over a year ago...Comment

I think Margarito DID underestimate Mosley (who didn't?) and probably isn't even the same after that Cotto bout. He may have had trouble making weight (he's been a welter since he was 18) but no one forced him into the ring. No excuses. He got his a** royally whooped.Comment

Not necessarily, but being away from boxing for a year and a half might affect his ability to make WW anymore.Comment

he will be at 147 again he is just doing this at 154 to get his rust off but he will be at 147 againComment

When Marg fought Shane he could make 147. The reason of the drained rumors is that he came in at 145. Now right before stepping to the official scales they weight Margarito in a scale in the hotel room and he was a few pounds over. However, that scale was not accurate in reality Marg was at 147 but since the scale were not accurate they tried to sweat off pounds in a matter of hours. Thus him coming in at 145. He lost two extra pounds that he didn't have to lose. And, 147 was as low as he could get. So those is where the drained rumors come from. Also that he got fat after he found out he was not going to fight for the rest of 2008Comment

I don't think so. Having trouble making weight doesn't necessarily mean your drained.
I think him fighting at 154 is because of the long lay off. Cutting to 147 instantly might hurt him more than help him. So fighting 154 is probably just to get back into form.Comment

Doug Fisher said that junior welterweights were getting the best of Margarito in sparring sessions prior to the fight with Mosley... I don't think weight was the factor
btw Mosley using Librado Andrade as a sparring partner to prepare for Tony = brilliantComment
