Ummm, only against Mosley, because AND only because he was testing the California Athletic Comission's ability to identify illegal activity prior to a professional boxing event. Good Job Tony, you ensured the system works. We should all give thanks to Antonio Margarito!

I read that this card will end up being a mini lightweight tournament with the winners fighting each other sometime in the future. Who do you all think will win and get matched up with each other? Poll added.
