    Why did Margarito TURN DOWN Winky Wright's fight offer?

    Winky Wright offered Margarito $1.5 million for a fight. It has taken nearly two years of his career for Tony to get to that kind of purse.

    Should Tony have taken that fight.... or would he have derailed his career?

      According to Viva's logic... maybe he's waiting for Hopkins to make him an offer... @175...

        Last I remember Margarito isn't a middleweight or jr middleweight. The potential future earnings from a win vs Cotto far outweigh whatever outcomes he would have vs the Wright who has not fought in over a year.

          Margarito turned down the fight with Winky because he knew he would get embarrased and shutout 120-108

              Margarito didn't turn him down, Bob Arum did.

                  winkys style is all bad for margarito, Winky defense is too good and his jab is too good, id pick winky to UD him pretty easy

                    Let's bet on Cotto/Margarito, Benoit. I got Cotto. You in?
