The Margarito MYTH...HAS BEEN DEBUNKED!!!!

i used to say that alot about Margarito and a few other fighters like Delahoya, Pacquaio, Guzman and Paul Williams. these(and others) are all fighters who have easily cleared a 15 lb gain on fight night many times before.


i have changed my mind though. it is what it is and now i say that a fighter is good as long as he makes weight when he's supposed to.

with that said, the Delahoya/Pac fight is a good example that you can overdue it(Delahoya nearly killing himself just to be smaller) and i hope more fighters do it like Paul Williams and get some balls to fight people who are more in their natural weight class. :good

 

Ill try to do it.

 

Oh my god the Prescott thread was locked and blubbers posts removed.

I even sent a message to myself in the future.


**** THAT:bart

 

If he can make 147 he is a WW. I don't see the big deal.

If he could cut to 140 he'd be a junior WW.

 

Margarito is a little taller than some WW's but he is not bigger. That's two different things. If a fighter makes weight who cares. Also changing to same day weigh-ins is pointless because the same guys would be fighting, just in a different division so who cares. We would also see more weight-drained fighters and that's no good. It leaves a fighter more open for injury.

 

Really !? If the boxing organizations brought back same day weigh-in would margarito be the same fighter???

Fighter like Herns , SRR were able to make the WW limit the day of with no problem and still have there skill , strength and endurance , could margarito do the same ?

I highly doubt it , but what ever. I thought I would throw that bit of information in there ..

 

Hell I'm sure guys could go anorexic. I'm sure Margo could make light weight if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to fight worth a **** but he could do it.

 

Mayweather wouldn't be a Jr MW. Nor would Pacquiao.

 

I dont even know what your point of the list was but I was just pointing out that those two would not be at 154.

 

Margo is not too big, he's just tall and strong. And Clottey is not THAT big, yes he gains weight but I don't know why people seem to forget that his fight with Chico was at 150lbs, and he clearly said he weighed himself with clothing on the night of the fight in which he weighed 170lbs. So take away five pounds of clothes, and you have a 15lbs weight gain which is still a lot, but not really what some are making it out to be.

 

bump!
