    Oh please, you really can't be serious with that ***** ****. Margarito had one fight against a tomato can at Jr. Middle, DLH was a champion beating Mayorga who beat a good fighter in Piccirillo. DLH gave Mayweather a hell of a fight and a close one, Margarito was a punching bag as he was expected to be.

    This. It was a WW fight. Margarito being Mexican is the reason why WBC sanctioned that bogus title fight.

    A WW fight at 150? Interesting. How come Margo is no longer fighting at WW?

    You guys are completely missing the point of this thread.

    I'm not questioning whether the title was legit. I'm asking if the weight was legit.

    Don't you get it? lufcrazy said that it was essentially a WW fight, but the fighting being held at 150 was to let Margo come in overweight. It's like the opposite of the typical reason why there is a catchweight. Normally, it's a weight to meet at below the traditional limit. But this time, it was above. If you think about it, 150 is closer to 147 than it is to 154. This fight would've been at the true WW limit if Margo had no trouble making 147.

    No, sww's are bigger than Margarito. Margarito had the weight of a sww, but not the size.

    This goes back to what I said in regards to fighters manipulating their weight classes and how it should go back to same day weigh in. If you're a SWW who is bigger than Marg and comes in heavier than what Marg was (163), then you're no where near a SWW.

    margarito was 165 on fightnight, pac was 148 while margarito also had an 4.5 inch height advantage and 6 inch reach advantage. Besides the belt which shouldnt have been on the line the fight itself was a challenge.

    So Margo can't make 147, which now makes a fight at 150 essentially a WW fight? And it's the opposite reason of the typical reason for a catchweight fight? I thought CW fights happpened because either one guy was too small for the max limit or one guy was too big for the max limit? Or both?

    What makes me laugh is when the pac haters say Pac fought Clottey coming off a loss to Cotto, then turn around and say Pac fought a Cotto who really lost to Clottey.

    people like you usually act like pac became important since beating Oscar, thats what made him a superstar but his real legacy work comes from the years before when he ripped trough the divisions and had wars with the mexican atg's of the lowerweright divisions. Dude was already a 2 division champion even before he had his coming out party vs barrera in 03.
