    If no fighter is interested in fighting him at 147, why he insist in staying at that welter having a big frame to move up almost to middleweight where i think he can get more big fights?

    dont comment on a fight you never watched, idiot.

    there is no one at light middle, all the big fights are at 147, unless oscar fights him.

    Last time he fought at 154 he lost. IMO his best chance would be at 154 since the better fighters are at 147.

    IMO at 154 he loses his strength advantage he has at 147. like hatton, his style does not allow him to move up in weight and still be affective.

    And let face it Margarito is not a hard target to mis and I don't think Margarito soak up punches at 154, as well as he does at 147.

    Because he'd be a nobody at 154. His size advantage is what has made him a contender/former belt holder at 147. Same thing goes for Paul Williams. If he were fighting where he started at 160, he wouldn't survive very long against any legit contender.

    Good point. If he moved up he would have to go to MW. This would be a stupid move. While Margo isn't a very skilled fighter, he wins by having a high workrate, a good chin, good stamina, and good power. If he fought at MW his chin and power would be negated. Guys would be more likely to stand toe to toe with him and he would get KO'd, or lose by a lopsided decision, by any of the top fighters in that division.

    147 is where its all about so he is going to stay there.

    But I hope he goes up to junior middle so Vernon Forrest can whoop that azz.

    Vernon lost 2 out of 2 so I dont think a rubbermatch will ever materialize.
