Here's why Oscar won't fight Tony:
An excerpt from on article on thesweetscience:
What makes the matchup even more interesting, and potentially even more marketable, is Margarito's well-known tenure as a former De La Hoya sparring partner. Recalling his time in the De La Hoya camp, Margarito hints that he may have been a little too fiery for the liking of De La Hoya's handlers: “On two different occasions, I made him bleed. Once from the nose, and the other time from the ear. Unfortunately, both times they sent me back down.”

Another excerpt from boxing insider:
“I did spar with Oscar but I used him as my sparring partner,” Margarito told me about two years ago, of their sparring sessions from about four years ago. “Oscar and his trainer wanted me to be their dummy. They would tell me to let him hit me, not to throw any punches. Then I would be told to throw at him, but not hard, while he was throwing hard.”
Clearly, Oscar was well aware of the extraordinary punching power of Margarito and was uncomfortable to deal with it’s consequences. But Margarito is a champion, he does not possess the typical ’sparring partner mentality’ and refused to be Oscar’s dolt.
“I’m a person with a short temper, all this was only making me furious. So, naturally, I would let go of my punches with power. On two different occasions I made him bleed. Once from the nose, and the other time from the ear. Unfortunately, both times they sent me back down.”
