but margarito was fighting people who lost to prospects by KO ...(hint: santos against kofi jantuah) not to mention Santos has a win over Marg as well but lets not get into all of that because i can bring a lot of other things as well. Margarito had to fight him the first time otherwise he would have got stripped of his title, something he didnt want, dont make it as if margarito "optionally took the fight", williams was his no 1 mandatory.
my question: lets forget all other things for now, can you tell me why margarito is fighting a 37 year old former lightweight in mosley for 2 million dollars, when he could have fought a prime williams for 4 million dollars and a WBO title (which was originally available until margarito backed out, so williams had to throw that title away in order to win a belt at 154 (where margarito lost and moved back to 147)
the ring magazine has margarito as the number 1 welterweight and had williams as the number 2 before he moved up up to 154 , so the fight made sense, even it had more dollars.
Santos was a champion, Kolle wasn't. Santos has a win over Marg but I honestly think its cause of the home cooking. I know PW was his mando, but what does that tell you about a guy who decided not to fight Cotto the first time to fight PW??? I bet if he would of vacated the belt no one would know who PW is.
Where was that bull**** 4 mil offer when Margarito wanted the rematch??
He's fightin Mosley for 2.5, even if Mosley is out of his prime, he's still a tougher fight than Phillips. Lets not forget he's #3 in the WW division now.
