Is it fair for a 6'3 tall man to fight a 5'6 man because they're the same weight?

      Cotto never weighed that much in any of his bouts
      READ WHat I said.

      I bet you Cotto comes in heavier as a welterweight than Williams did AS a welterweight.

        Yes you are correct about the Margarito fight.

          If Williams can make the weight there should not be any issues.

          Boxing is about weight classes.

            No one moans really about Tommy Hearns.

            I know he was shorter than Williams and fought at higher weight divisions but he was still very tall for his weight class.

              Either way.. if you can make the weight.. that's the end of it.

              His ONLY loss came to a 5 8 southpaw welterweight..

                  There has been occasions where Williams weighed in in the 160s fight night for WW fights. An average Williams weighs more than Cotto.

                    I thought Quintana is a little closer to 5'10 or at least 5'9 1/2?

                      pretty much sums up all that needs to be said.
