Cotto is taking his mandatory but what about margarito?

About this Cotto Vs Urkal.. Will this be televised on Showtime? Or should i switch to HBO.. Either one or the other. Tony should fight Williams. If he doesn't then what ever. I have nothing more to say about tony. it will be televised on HBO.

If it had to do with his injury, he wouldn't be willing to fight a lesser opponent so that rules that excuse out. And chances are if you know who Margarito is, then you know who Paul Williams is. People here seem to forget that Margarito is not a big name except to boxing fans. And if you're a boxing fan then you probably know who Williams is. The difference in fan base between the two is not that extreme. Fuck it though, I'd really rather have Cotto bust his ass up. If he fought Williams then there is a good chance we'd never see Margarito-Cotto. Didn't understand the bolded part And its true, if you know one you probably know the other, but I think he wants exposure to masses, not the fans. For example, PBF was saying the Marg fight wasn;t worth it because most people dont know who he is. Same thing, he wants to get seen by the general public. I'm really not trying to defend him, I think its bullshit, not b/c of what he did but b/c hes a hypocrite, but I was just trying to answer the question. I would love to see him get beat by Cotto.

Marg's justification, I think, is he doesn't want to risk getting injured (or maybe lose) before his big break. This is his shot to get a lot of exposure and he doesn't want to risk messing it up because of an unkown fighter.

The answer is right there at the bottom. :) . . . If Cotto is taking his mandatory before facing Margarito why can't Margarito take on Williams first . . . I thinks that the whole point. yup this is what iam was trying to ask since their last fight were on the same date, theres no reason he cannot face his mandatory and then face cotto.

This is the latest I've heard on Margarito vs Williams. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103184&highlight=margarito More should follow soon I guess.

Cotto eying Urkal next! Sunday, January 7 2007 It looks like WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (28-0, 23 KOs) will take care of his mandatory obligation against long term mandatory challenger Otkay Urkal (38-3, 12 KOs) on March 3 in Puerto Rico before setting his sights on a June 9 showdown with current WBO titlist Antonio Margarito (34-4, 24 KOs) at Madison Square Garden. Top Rank is finalizing the March 3 event now. ______________________ My question is why cant margarito face williams? I dont get the question when what you posted clearly says he is making his mandatory before facing Margarito on June 9
