After hearing about the recents comments made by trainer Emanuel Steward on BoxingScene.com, regarding Kermit Cintron (29-1, 27KOs)  ordering him to line up a rematch with Antonio Margarito (35-5, 25KOs), Margarito's manager Sergio Diaz contacted BoxingScene with a response.

We have our promoter, Top Rank, and they have their promoter, Main Events. It's not about press releases and challenges made to us directly. Their promoter has to talk to our promoter. If the money is right, the fight will happen," Diaz said. "But first, he needs to talk to his promoter and they have to contact Top Rank. If it make sense it's going to happen. If it doesn't make sense, then we look for something else."

Margarito is slated to return in March or possibly April. Several names have been mentioned as possible opponents, including Zab Judah, but nothing is set in stone. Diaz says Margarito will fight anyone, whether it's Cintron or Judah or another big name.
 
"Tony told me, 'whoever they say I'm going to fight, I'll fight. Whoever Top Rank puts in front of me, I'm going to fight. I'll fight anybody, whether it's a big fight or a tuneup fight, that's what I'm going to do.'
