The new WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto is open to a future rematch with Mexican rival Antonio Margarito. The tough Mexican handed Cotto his first career loss in 2008 with a TKO in eleven rounds.
Quotes by Golzka, Cotto said he was open to fighting Margarito again if the Mexican's license issue is corrected. Margarito's license to box was taken away in February 2009 by the boxing commission in the state of California. Margarito was found guilty of loading his gloves before a scheduled fight with Shane Mosley in January 2009.
The battle between Cotto and Margarito took place at welterweight. At the present both rivals are fighting at 154-pounds. Margarito would have to reclaim his license to box in the United States for a Cotto rematch to happen.
"If he settles the issue with his suspension and the money is right, it's possible," Cotto said.
