    You've basically desribed every boxer fighting today. Well, everyone but Mayweather.:roll:

    People will look for any reason to not like him.

    "His punches loop..."

    "He's a poor sport..."

    "He's overhyped..."

    "He lost to Santos..."

    We all know why the Mayweathe fanboys here hate him with a passion. Blame him being overrated, over hyped, blam Arum, but most importantly, blame Floyd. He helped make Margarito look like a bad ass outside the ring. Margarito does it in the ring.

    no dont get what i said twisted bro.

    yes everyone gains weight but not everyone gains over 10-15 pounds after their official weigh-ins. thats too much and ill say the same thing about any fighter that does that.

    I honestly don't see what that has to do with anything. So many boxers do that today it's ridiculous. Williams came into his fight with Margo at 160+ I believe, big deal, it part of the game these days.

    Love Margo or hate him for whatever your reasons may be. Can't deny the fact that Margo will take on anyone. he's the type of fighter to give a damn good preformance, even if he has to go out on his shield. True warrior

    Thats how it's done buddy, as long as you make weight the day before. It's within the rules. And you're going to hate a fighter for that?

    What about Casamayor? Are you jelous that Casa get's overlooked and that Margo has a bigger fanbase? I think Margo has done more than enough to earn his fans, he puts on a good show everytime, he fights anyone he can, has hardly fought anyone with a less than good record and I think dominating a young, fresh power-punching title holder like Cintron twice is pretty damn impressive.

    I think one reason Margo gets more attention than Casa is, He is the guy that right now poses a threat to the great Champ Cotto and PBF. These are the top dogs in the sport and anyone that can pose a real threat to them will have all eyes on upon them.

    believe me Casa is getting some attention now, you can say it's about time.

    Who cares? The point is . . . the guy has the balls to fight Cotto. We get to see the real results . . . not just based on hallucinations like yours. :yep

    Are you trying to imply that the fight should not happen anymore . . . just because that's how you see it happening?

    where did i say or even imply that i hated him? i thought so.

    yes that is the rules but can you understand where i am coming from when i say that it should be changed. i think there should at least be some kind of penalty or fine for gaining so much weight like Margo and Williams do. it brings a size disadvantage for the fighters in the division who are more naturally in that weight class. thats the reason why they do it.

    i think its fine if someone gains 5-10 pounds but when you go past that and you come into the ring 2 weight divisions bigger, its just not right. its the rules now but i def think it needs to be changed.
