    I didn't know Margarito can school his opponent, as far as I can remember all he did was to out punch and out hustle his opponents.

    Who would wanna watch a Margarito before except Mexicans?

        Margarito just isn't a marketable fighter. I stated before Top Rank lost money with Margarito winning. Yes, Arum promotes Margarito as well, but Cotto's style just made for a better and more marketable fight against an Oscar or Floyd (and still do).

        Look at Margarito's situation now, with all the talk of him fighting De La Hoya, Williams, Clottey, etc...now he's getting a tune up fight in Feb, and then a Cotto rematch. What does that tell you? They can't get this guy a fight and it's not because people are scared of Tony, he just has no marquee value.

          PLAIN AND BASIC COMMON SENSE!!!






          But seriously alot of top welters are looking to fight Margarito for example Williams and Clottey. Only two fighters who really avoided him was Oscar and Mayweather.
          Oscar has a reason to avoid him. Theres a good chance Margarito would end Oscars career in a way no one would want to see it happen.

              mosley turned down a margarito fight when mosly acutally mattered.

                As I said, we arn't talking about the past. We are talking present, and Mosley wants the fight, 1 of at least 4 fighters that are asking for it..

                  and i honestly think most people will fight margarito now since he has mad a name for himself with the cotto victory! He's not a big risk low reward anymore!

                    Who knew who Margarito was in Mosley's prime? Really...answer that question.

                      Exactly

                      The only guy really avoiding him is De La Hoya.
