Why dont Fighters want to fight Antonio Margarito?

[Texanballer]

This is a serious question. I am a huge fan and i may sound like i am beating a dead horse but i am not. Why dont the big name fighters want to fight or/ why didnt they want to fight him? Other than Paul Williams and Joshua Clottey, there are no other big names who want him. And Margarito already fought them.

So seriously, what is it about him that makes fighters turn the other way?

Williams and Clottey want to fight him, Mosley said he would fight him, Cotto said he would take a rematch. Those are 4 of the Top Welters, I bet Judah would fight him as well..

Like i said Clottey and Williams are interested.

Mosley is fighting Mayorga at 154. Imo Mosley is no longer a force in this division. Along with Zab Judah.

Better question is, Why doesnt Margarito want to fight P. Williams for a career high payday and redemption?

Mosley has got his upcoming fight, but Margarito isn't fighting until next year and I think Mosley said that he would be willing to fight Tony after Mayorga. So would Judah, and those 4 guys are all rated in the Top 10 Welters, Plus Cotto said he would take a rematch. Daniel Santos called him out as well, the only guy that is 'avoiding' Tony right now is De La Hoya.

Margarito already schooled Williams. He just couldnt get the decision. No need to go through that again right away. Paul Williams needs to fight Quintana again. While Margarito fights Clottey again. Then Williams and Margarito are left.

But to you my friend, Why didnt Mayweather take a career high payday to fight Margarito?

[CUFreeze]

He is avoided bc 1. he isn't a flashy high profile fighter and beating him only gets you cred with boxing insiders. the genral public could give a damn. 2. he is tough as hell, cant be hurt with a sledgehammer, and he never stops pressing. bad bad combo and it forces people to box and run all night. his style and granite chin make everyone look like they are running from him the entire night.

Better yet, who doesn't want to fight AM? Now that he's ontop EVERYONE seems to want to fight him. Now there is reward along with the risk in fighting him.

Hey mate, were you aware that Shane Mosley turned down a margarito fight?

Moments ago, Top Rank issued a press release which in part stated, "We are dismayed to read the statement of attorney Judd Burstein accusing Top Rank, in effect, of not telling the truth that Shane Mosley, Mr. Burstein's client, has refused to fight welterweight champion Antonio Margarito

Mayweather i would say is also avoiding him
