    to make a comparison, when Margarito fought Williams, his unofficial weight was 157lbs, and Williams was 162.

    And when Margarito fought Santos at Junior Middleweight, his unofficial weight was 160lbs, and Santos was 170lbs.

    When Cotto fought Demarcus Corley at Junior Welterweight, his unofficial weight was 157lbs.

    just some food for thought.


    Collazo's unofficial weight last night was 155.

    Berto looks too 'clunky' for me to succeed at the top level.

    Nice information after all the bull**** of Margo fighting smaller boxers and not being a welterweight. The natural weight is the lower weight that you can make without being drained for the fight at your age. If you can fight at welterweight at 180lbs and still make 147 for the fight this is your best class. It's logical. I'm not a big Margo fan but all the people that try to disrespect him because he is bigger than his opponents are speaking bull s.

    Good stuff, Philla. I heard that last night as well.

    So, I guess the inevitable "He's too big for WW" campaign will start at any minute, right? Somehow I doubt that.

    Berto is a strong dude. He does not have a boxers build. He looks like a mini football player in a boxing ring.
