    I read earlier that maybe Margarito was to big of a welter. Kinda makes sence. The guy is huge.

    Any other guys out there that you think are either to big or small to be in that division?

    Most guys are in the wrong-division in my view.

    Weight-making is murdering the sport.

    At 5'7 maybe Cotto is to small for WW.
    Wasn't nobody talking about Margarito's Ht advantage before Sat.
    What happened to all the "Margo don't fight using his height" talk...

    If a fighter makes weight, he deserves to fight.
    ****, Josh Clotty weighed in at 170lbs against Diego Corrales @ WW.

    Kelly Pavlik looked a few stone heavier than Gary Lockett in their fight. I think the whole weight issue needs looked at, too many huge guys can just about make the weight for the weigh-in when they are actually far naturally bigger and bigger at fight time than their opponent.

    Weight divisions are screwed today. Fighters can gain anywhere from 5-15lbs of waterweight the next day and HEAVILY out weight their opponents.
