    What is natural weight for you guys. For me it is the lowest weight that you can make without being drained. So I don't buy the arguments of a lot of people that say that Margo or Williams don't belong to the WW. For some natural weight is the weight that you have spent most of your career and where you have an established record. Your thoughts??

    exactly. there is a thing such as your walk-around weight and there is another such your natural fighting weight. you are talking about the latter.

    Yeah I'm speaking about fighting weight. Recently a guy told me that Cotto natural weight is not 147. At the same time Cotto is unable to make 140 and will be too small for 154.

    lol, cotto is a natural welter. if he can make the limit without draining, he is. he even made 145 and still looked good. you can see a lot of guys in the lower weights who walked around at 130 or even 140 and yet fight as flyweights. this is the norm.

    I'm not so sure by your logic Floyd is maybe a JMW now I don't think he walks at 147 those days. For Paul he was 157 for his last fight at MW at the weight in. He's just a skinny guy it's not his problem that he is tall.

    Yeah I think he can still do it but he is going to be severely drained. In fight between Mosley and Paul at 147 now I'm going with Mosley.

    No such thing. Your weight is the result of your lifestyle. Tje food you eat the excirsise you get etc etc.
