According to members of the WBC, once six months of Antonio Margarito's punishment has passed, he will re-enter their welterweight rankings. Back in February, Margarito and trainer Javier Capetillo had their licenses revoked by the California State Athletic Commission.

Margarito's punishment stemmed from the controversy prior to his January bout with Shane Mosley, when inserts containing a plaster-like substance were removed from his hand wraps. The ruling by the CSAC is being honored by every major commission in the United States. Margarito's lawyers are appealing the decision by the CSAC and trying to overturn their ruling. If Margarito�s legal team fails, he can apply for a new license in 2010 but the CSAC has the right to turn down his request.

Margarito has gone on the record several times and says he is currently training to stay in shape for a ring return in September in Mexico, where he is able to box.

Just look at it like this. Margarito is one more beat down from being obselete in the sport of Boxing anyways so let him come back and get another beat down exposion. There's a chance he might get his back stomped out in Mexico. He's overrated as is. I wouldn't mind seeing Cotto fight...
