just as i figured you guys will always twist everything to discredit margarito! Did you not read they wrote a letter DEMANDING TO BE HIS MANDATORY AND GIVE HIM AN IMMEDIATE REMATCH. They demanded margarito to be his mandatory but gave williams an optional defense and let them decide what they wanted to do. Did williams take the rematch???????? NO HE DIDNT! QUIT TRYING TO TWIST **** YOU GUYS LOOK REALLY ****** WHEN THE FACTS ARE IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU STILL TRY TO TWIST IT TO FIT YOUR MAKE BELIEVE STORIES AND DUMB OPINIONS AND LIES!He sent a letter stating that he thought he won, and that he should be given a rematch. Was there a rematch clause? This letter will not justify anything in favor of Margs. If Margs had a rematch clause, legally Williams would either have to honor that clause or vacate the title. Margs did not want a rematch. The letter he sent was his disappointent in the scoring because he thought he won. If he did ask for a rematch in that letter, and there was NO rematch clause, he had no leg to stand on. Margs didn't think he would lose, and probably didn't want a rematch clause.
"Diaz tells BoxingScene that De La Hoya is trying to create a new excuse to avoid Margarito by using Williams. After Williams lifted the WBO title from Margarito last July, Diaz sent a petition letter to the WBO to place Margarito as the mandatory challenger, trying to position his fighter for an immediate rematch (letter provided to BoxingScene). The rematch never came off. Diaz states that Williams and his promoter, Dan Goossen, were not interested in an immediate rematch and instead opted for an optional defense."
"After the Margarito/Williams' bout, Antonio asked that we send the WBO a letter asking to be named as the mandatory challenger which would result in an immediate rematch. This letter was sent to the WBO and put in the agenda during the WBO convention," Diaz said. "During this time, with the lobbying and persistant outcry of Mr. Goossen, the WBO decided that Margarito would become Williams' mandatory, but Williams would be allowed to make an optional defense."
"Top Rank put the Williams' defeat behind them, moved forward and fought Margarito in November while Williams rested and waited for his next date (February 08). Margarito fought and defeated [Golden] Johnson, while Williams waited. Williams finally got his date, but no opponent. After weeks of waiting Williams finally had his opponent. During this time, again Top Rank looking for the interest of their fighter they decided to move forward with Antonio and look for other options instead of waiting. Williams was Top Rank's number-one option since Margarito was his mandatory,
A few weeks ago, Williams held a media lunch in California and called for a Margarito rematch. In the opinion of Diaz, since Williams was not interested in a rematch with Margarito (until he beat Cotto), he can wait in line while Margarito makes his play.

I would like to see a Williams-Margarito rematch. forget who wanted the immediate rematch or not. thats in the past. if theyre both willing, lets have them fight.
although I have to admit I would rather see a Margarito-De La Hoya fight. Im not big on rematches usually, even if the first fight was good. but Ill certainly take it if De La Hoya continues to be a chicken.Comment

Look through the old archives on here and i have always said that. IT didn't happen because williams declined it!Comment

that's ****en bull****. With your theory quintana should have never gave williams a rematch! you win a title then get mopped around the ring in your first defense???? He's lucky they had a rematch clause!I'd say the difference is Margarito's stock after his lost to Paul was extremely low. He was getting hyped up for supposedly scaring Mayweather and all of that Mexican hype bull ****, but after the loss his resume looked even worse. Williams had no reason to offer him a rematch because what little Margarito brought to the table was all ready gone.
It's different now as Margarito now has chips to bring to the table again.Comment
