    Why would Margo refuse to fight Mosley?

    It just doesnt make sense. In paper and based on Mosley's last performances this look like a good victory and a higher paycheck than Margo is used to recieve.

    Also in his last few fights Mosley has depended on clinching half the fight and I dont think he would be able to do that against Margarito.Plus it seems like Cotto wants the rematch even if Margo were to lose.

    Margo gets an easy fight, his biggest purse, and the chance to add Mosley to his resume.

    So whats the hold up?

      Margarito is a giant. I like Mosely, but i seriously think he'll have a hard time fighting the champ. However, i think Mosely is a little smarter than Cotto.

          Margarito clearly didnt like the money offered or the split

          alot of people are now posting that Margarito is a "coward" or whatever else

          most fail to realise that boxing is a business and its about getting the right deal and Margarito wasnt happy with what was presented to him

            i agree with you.....

            but also i have a question.... whats the amount of money reasonable for margarito...???/

            he was offered 4 mills... who at the end.. icould go for lets say 2 millions for him...

            now he was offered 2 millions.... and also rejected that offer...

            the things arent gonna get better.. the only moneyfight left is a rematch with cotto.... so if he wants to wait a year.. just to secure that fight again.. well its up to him... and the WBA for letting that to happen..

            i dont mind.. if he fights or wait for cottos...

            but the point is... UNLESS HE PROVES HIS MARKET STOCK have raised.... he aint getting more money frrom no one... and is unfair.. but it is what it is....

                  as he should be.... who says Margo is worth more than 50%??

                  Mosley is no doubt the bigger name here... Margo shouldn't let his head get too big (although it is pretty big, physically)
