If you are one of the people who are so much against Oscar Dela Hoya fighting Manny Pacquiao because of the disparity in physical size, were you also among those people who rejected the Cotto-Margarito match-up for the same reason?
I have read numerous threads regarding these 2 match-ups and I have noticed that so many people are appreciating Margarito's win, and the way he defeated Cotto and how good his chin was. Very few pointed out that one possible factor that might have greatly contributed to his victory was the fact that he was naturally the bigger guy. His physique belongs to the Junior Middleweight Class.
People may argue that Cotto is the No.1 Welterweight before the fight. He was, but his fights was mostly against guys of the same height and built. Cotto does not belong to the Welterweight Class. He is more of a junior welterweight type of guy. The Cotto-Margarito size discrepancy was very evident during the weigh-in when they faced-off each other.
So, if you are against the Pac-ODLF fight because of the reason stated above, should you, therefore, also be stating in your comments that you were also against the Cotto-Margarito fight? Just to prove that you are a true boxing fan and not just favoring another fighter or being a die-hard fan of the same.
