For those few who actually think that P.Will avoided a Margarito rematch.....

For Eanar0919:
Tijuana's Antonio Margarito is just one fight away from a shot at a welterweight title. Can the Mexican star put a disappointing loss to Paul Williams behind him?
The only mention about a Williams rematch:
Things didn't turn out the way I had hoped. But I'm right back on track, so I'm looking forward to this fight (vs Golden Johnson) and then fighting the [Cotto-Mosley] winner and maybe Paul Williams down the road."
A slow start cost Margarito against Williams as he fell behind early and could not make up the ground. He said he won't let that happen again against Johnson, the Cotto-Mosley winner or Williams if they fight again.
"You always learn from every fight," he said. "It's always different things to learn from every fight. I now know that I have to start fast, that I have to throw a lot of punches, and that's what I intend to do in my next fight."
After the Williams fight, Margarito was convinced he had won and was vocal about it. In the months that have passed, he has eased up on the rhetoric after watching video of the fight.
"After watching the tape, I noticed how slow I started," he said. "The guy was throwing punches that were not effective. They were just a lot of punches. So all I have to do is do the same thing -- come out from the first bell and then start throwing punches no matter where they land or how they land.
"At the time when I was fighting the fight, I thought I was doing very well and I thought I was well ahead in the fight. But once I saw it on tape, I can see where people would say maybe the first few rounds I lost because he was throwing a lot of punches. Not that he was doing any damage with them but he was throwing a lot of punches. I can see where the judges would be impressed by that and I got into a hole which I didn't know I was in. I can see why he [won]. I have no problem with that."
Conclusion: No mention of Williams ducking him. Plenty of mention of fightin the Cotto - Mosley winner and Golden Fish. Only now are they talkin about a petition they made to the WBO when it's convincient to them.
Margarito had a chance to fight Cotto in June at Madison Square Garden. They had agreed until Margarito surprisingly changed his mind and took less money to make a mandatory defense against Williams.Comment

I've mentioned it before, that I would fight anybody. I wanted to fight [Floyd] Mayweather, unfortunately that didn’t happen. He didn't want to fight. I'll fight Ricky Hatton. Bob [Arum] mentioned that I would possibly fight [Miguel] Cotto and I hope that's the fight that materializes," Margarito said.
If a bout with Cotto does not materialize, he would like a crack at the winner of the Feb. 2 unification clash between welterweight champions Kermit Cintron and Paul Williams.
"Definitely [I would fight Cintron]. I'll' fight anybody. I'll fight any champion. If given the opportunity to fight for a title I’ll take it. Paul Williams is my mandatory [preference]. That fight, it could happen,. It depends on my team, management
and my promoter. If it's him, we will take or if its someone else we'll fight someone else,” Margarito said
Yeah that sounded real convincing. I bet you thought I wouldn't actually read that and get away with it. Wrong move amigo.Last edited by Vladimir303; 12-02-2008, 05:47 PM.Comment

The article speaks for itself.. Your spin didn't work.Comment

but again YOU are stating your "theory" as facts in trying to correct someone and yet after posting countless links, from this site mind you, about how Williams really never cared to fight Magarito from 7/07 to about 6/08 then you go disclaiming Magarito's co manager as nothing more than an alibi even though this site's owner actually saw the formal petition. Now you can claim "well thats what he said" but Margarito indeed state on 11/11/07 his preference would be to fight as the mandatory to Williams, on this very site, as his next fight.
again using this site as a reference I shot your whole theory down. Since your theory is now basura you back up a bit and use the whole "whoa this is a message board I am only stating what I think" when you tried to pass it off as facts...nice try
This isn't murder but you got murdered on your own threadthat was dated 11/6/07
