I am hearing in addition to his other eye injury, he also suffered an DETACHED RETINA in his eye
A proposed grudge rematch between Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto is on the shelf for the moment. In addition to the broken orbital socket Margarito suffered in his brutal loss to Manny Pacquiao last November, “The Tijuana Tornado” also suffered a detached retina in that fight. The injury could force Margarito to retire from the sport.
Damn, no wonder why the mayweathers are so afraid
I've just heard an ESPN interview with Antonio Margarito, and they were asking him about the detached retina, and Margarito said that at the moment he's going with a doctor provided by Bob Arum, that the doctor said that he's not ready to fight yet, but that there is absolutely NO DETACHED RETINA, that he's eye is not as bad as everybody is saying in the news, and that he has no idea who said that his eye would force him to retire this year.
He also said that he already had a fight with Cotto planned for September, but that he said to Bob Arum that the doctor said that he is not ready to fight yet, but that he's sparring already, that he's already training and if he had a detached retina then he wouldn't be able to train.
Finally he said that he's not going to fight this year, so his comeback most likely would be until 2012.
The interview is in Spanish but this is more or less what he said.
Too bad he doesn't take the souls of fighters with Titles:lol1:
"Oscar can't pull the trigger anymore"
"Hatton is not the same fighter after losing to Mayweather"
Ya'll should start listening to Freddy:boxing:
Hatton has got a recent offer to fight Erik "El Terrible" Morales and has not exceped it. I am sure alot of people miss Oscar De La Hoya. Margerito was making fun of Freddie Roaches parkinsons. I officialy hate him. And his Mushy eye. Pacquiao sure tought him.
Pacquiao - :boxing:
Margirito - :bigeyes: I am sorry he only had one big eye.

No redemption for Cotto???
Cotto would have to be contented with the fact that Margarito took 10 times more punishment from Pac than he did and took away his life as a boxer, whereas he (cotto) can still fight.
just seen you made a thread on it first, apologies

Who gives a **** how much he gets from his fights?
Big deal
Steve Forbes broke Oscar's eyesocket.
Mosley destroyed Margarito and took his title...
pacman has ended the career of Oscar, Hatton and Margarito, big deal you say? damn right
Pacman does not take belts, he takes their soul
This little dude sent Hatton,Oscar and Margarito into retirement wow. If Pac is later found out to be on something he should be prosecuted but as of right now he is just a ****in beast.
no, robert garcia and laurence coles sent margarito into retirement.
