    Antonio Margarito, fight night: 165 pounds

    Granted, the situations are different. Holt wasn't giving up a huge, huge payday. But he also wasn't facing an opponent on his level.




    Co-sign.
    Margarito met the terms of the contract. Holt's cabdriver did not.

      There are times when taking a stand on principal isn't worth it.

        Whether or not this guy came in over weight on 3 agreements, why the **** pick a bum of all bums?

        Holt is on a very bad slide, and not even that high to start from at his best, but when you pick a bum, don't expect it to work out.

        I do however agree with Holt on this one.

          Rafeal is the biggest piece of **** in the boxing media. Why should Holt be criticized for not fighting a guy for being overweight? It's not Holts fault that his opponent was unprepared and failed to hold up his side of the contract. I know Rafeals job isn't to be in shape or anything but it's hard to take him serious on weight issues when he himself has never pushed away from the dinner table himself.

            I must say this for those who're decrying Octavio Narvaez as a bum... Narvaez is the guy who floored Vivian Harris twice a couple of years ago.

              Vivian Harris has a questionable chin. I'd pick you to floor him if you can hit him.

                Narvaez, interestingly, came in far overweight for that fight.

                I'm just saying that it's not fair to describe Narvaez as a tomato can.

                  He is one, and whats so special about Vivian Harris who has been stopped 4 out of his 5 losses? Harris ended up stopping Narvaez the tomato can.

                    Having seen Narvaez fight on more than one occasion – on television and in person – I'm comfortable saying Narvaez can be a tough out.

                    It must be so comforting making blanket statements and using revisionist history to describe fighters.

                    You even watch Harris-Narvaez, or do you base all of your analysis off BoxRec?
