Smith was probably the most known from that show besides Mora, Gomez, and Manfredo because he was a big mouth *****. People know the name. At the very least more people have heard the name Ishe Smith than they Antonio Margarito whether you want to believe that or not.

You're indulging in a fantasy. Marg has been active in the boxing world, and also because he has a big-time promoter is more well-known in the boxing world than Smith is. -
Oh, and there is another point I would like to make. Margarito is not a HUGE welterweight. He has to cut weight to get down to 147, but to me his frame looks like about a welterweight, and he has a seek and destroy style that would not work if he was the smaller man in a fight. He needs to be in a weight division where he is big and strong. Guys who are boxers like De La Hoya and Mosely can change weight classes a lot more easily. This is also why they are sending Hatton back down to 140, and wisely so, and Cotto is similar which is why he has been at 140 for soo long. I actually think they are overdoing it with Cotto and Cotto's chin would be more solid if he wasn't soo drained and fought at 147. If Margarito and Cotto got it on, Cotto would actually be the bigger man I think.Comment
