After 42 months of retirement, former world champion Antonio Margarito (38-8, 27KOs) is back in training and seriously considering the possibility of a comeback at either junior middleweight or middleweight.

He tried to return to the ring a year later, in a rematch with Miguel Cotto, and the injured eye began to swell up within a few rounds and forced the ringside physician to pull him from the fight in the ninth round.  

After being evaluated medically, Margarito says his right eye is now 100% and he believes that he can still make a statement at age 37.

"I need to talk to my family," Margarito told ESPN Deportes. "Yes, I have thought about it because my eye is one hundred percent, but I do have the urge and it needs to be discussed. I was surprised [at how good I've done in the gym], because I've been retired for so long."

"[Middleweight and junior middleweight] are by far the most interesting divisions. Right now I'm up to 175 pounds. I need to get down to 154 pounds or stay at 160 pounds. Obviously I'd like to go against the elite, with anyone...Cotto, Canelo, those who say they are the best. I feel good in all aspects."
