Are you surprised by Margarito's cowardice?

[El Jesus]

With the following two exceptions:

1) Oscar was actually willing to fight Floyd and was planning for that fight
2) Floyd made more than 8 mil in his next fight.
3) This is also coming from a man who took his belt, beat him in southern california, and even if he loses 20 fights in a row to quintana, judah, and kendell gill, he still owns a win over margarito


With Tony, Oscar said that he will NOT fight him, and Tony will NOT get a higher offer elsewhere.

dont worry i fixed it for you

So when is margarito gonna do what floyd wasnt scared to do, which is move up in weight and fight guys bigger than him?

2 Minutes, ill give Arum a ring and find out for you.

[machotime]

Yeah.... thats a pretty substantial size advantage for Margarito.

As far as Hatton, he is a JWW, he never was and never will be a WW.

He moved to 154 and lost to Santos. Without size and durability advantage, Margarito has little that justifies him as a top fighter. and I am not hating.... those are the facts.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Yeah.... thats a pretty substantial size advantage for Margarito.

As far as Hatton, he is a JWW, he never was and never will be a WW.

...and Floyd is a natural WW? Or a LW/JWW who happened to campaign at WW for the money?

[FloydsEra]

Marg doesn't want Paul to rob him of his legacy, future paydays, fans' respect etc.

No one will ever accept that.

*sigh*

Ton'y team is smart, not cowardly. Fight fans want the rematch right away, and should demand it. But, right now, Margarito and Williams are still both relatively unknown to the general public. I'm sure there will be some increased excitement around Margarito's name after he dramatically KO's Clottey, which will give the Welterscene some increased exposure and fight fans another look at Tony before he faces his toughest-ever opponent. That increased exposure will translate into more $ for both Tony and Williams, nothing wrong with that.

But, Tony's got to make that rematch happen right after Clottey.

i must say this is a great post.. with some realtalk .. the relatively unknown ****.. was the right way to call it... and from a margarito fan as I know u are.. those were pretty unbiased comments props for u 4 that...but hey.. one thing..

no te duermas con el africanito... = dont sleep on the my african boy..

margo its very upsetable-- and that way.. hmmz its gonna be sad sad for him

You people out there....remember, as much as you and I want to see Margarito and Williams fight again, I just don't see it happening yet.
Understand this is a businesss. Theres alot of money at steak when you are at this level. Not only for Margarito but everyone who works for him. Margarito doesn't decide who he fights. "His people" do. Williams style creates problems for Margarito. Everybody knows that, especially "his people."
They will fight at some point but I see Margaritos team stretching their opportunites to make money with less risk before fighting him. Makes sence? Of course.....
Remember. Any human being that decides to be a pro fighter to make a living and put food on their table for his or hers family in no way can be scared coward. Just no way!

Look at this picture Hatton - Mayweather same size. Margarito has a advantage on size should be fighting at 160
