    Didn't we have a talk about you starting these Margarito threads and how much of a hater it makes you look like being the biggest PW dick lick on here? If you're going to continue to do this yet proclaim you don't have any "issues" with the guy, could you at least source these "rumors"?

    I heard a rumor that PW was having trouble making 147 which is the real reason he moved up to 154.

    I don't by it. Margo has always made weight comfortably despite the fact that he''s such a big welterweight. He'll be fine by fight night.

    Margarito is really a Cruiserweight shrinking down to 147. He likes to pick on little guys. :lol:

    lol not at all, me personally I am going to slow down on the Margarito - Floyd stuff because there is too many fights infront of this one that could easily de-rail this fight from happening.

    But to answer the post, I read this somewhere but I think it will work in his favour as getting down to the weight wont be a problem, if he had to get down to the weight after putting on muscle mass then he would be in trouble but food, beer, etc will just shed once he starts to do his skipping and road running. I hope he makes the weight and is strong at it without having to do stupid things to lose it like 3 hours before the weigh in

    Anyone stepping up in weight would have to contend with the difference in power and can you list the guys he rejected a fight with at higher weights because he's been there and done that. He tried 154...

    He had 2 fights that was full of headclashes and if you go and watch the santos fight he was walking through everything Santos could throw at him so I dont understand your statement.

    Plus, if Margarito is not really skilled then you might aswell say that Cotto is not really skilled because with the skills Margarito possesses was enough to beat cotto into submission so what skills are you referring to ?

    Not every fighter will have flashy skills like the Mayweathers and the Roy Jones of the boxing world but there is other skills required to win fights away from looking flashy in doing so...

    would you go into the ring with Margarito ? I doubt it

    Source of rumors? Are you the source? I highly doubt he is having trouble making weight. By the way that he trains, he should have no problems.

    Cotto arrived arrived to the gym after his vacation and recovery from his first lost @ almost 170lbs. Margarito is about 4 inches taller. I will not be surprised if he got up to about 180 or more. But he will train hard and make the 147lbs. No problem

    No he's not the source but its not unlikely.


    Even he did weigh 175 he'd be fine. Considering he would naturally weigh 160ish?


    So he partied a lil bit too hard after his win over Cotto should win.

    I wouldn't be surprised as 147 is unhealthy for a man his size but with Capetillo I'm sure he will make weight.

    i dont think Floyds boxing skill in the ring is all that flashy if flashy at all....RJJ however was extremely flashy.

    There will come a time when he won't be able to make weight...Maybe the time is arriving ! The same applies with Paul Williams at 147. Paul is a little younger, therefore his body could probably handle it another year or 2..
