Let's face it, Margarito vs Cotto won't happen for a while if ever. I wont go into that, but also alot of the top names may black ball margarito. The worse thing for a fighter as dangerous as Toney is an excuse to not fight him, and with the paris of plaster thing, I can see boxers using that as a reason to not fight him.

If Im Arum, I see 3 possible options.

1. Call up Ricardo Mayorga and try to set up a fight in LA. Tony has/had a big fan base out there and Mayorga is always entertaining to watch (especially with his prefight antics). Also Mayorga can't get a fight either, so this fight makes sense

2. Call up Isaac Hlatshwayo people and try to set up a fight with them. This guy has never had a good payday, and a fight with toney make get him twice as much as he has ever made. I say Toney takes this, gets the IBF title and positions himself for a bigger fight against a challenger or a huge Unification Fight.

3. Call up either Clottey for a rematch(clottey will fight anyone), Louis Collazo or Carlos Quintana. These are 3 guys that will have no issues fighing toney, because all 3 are in need of a payday.

BTW, IMO I feel Toney should never be allowed to fight again, but I know he will get his license back. This thread is just me playing Bob Arum the promoter.

Wait, I thought this thread was about Margarito?....

arum gotta rebuild margo's credibility, otherwise he can use margo as a stepping stone for up and coming WWs

Those are good ideas.

Even at this stage, I'd love to see Mayorga/Tony.

:mangler:

If I was Bob. I would have Tony move up to HW, and force Tony to fight the Klitschko's.

Margarito isn't getting his license back. Everyone knows that. Rather than being banned for life he just isn't going to get it back, and he's going to have to fight out of the country.

Good ****, Mike. Totally agree with all the possibilities, especially the Mayorga fight.

I wonder if Cintron would want a third match at 154...

Good ideas bro but I have to disagree on the Clottey match up. Clottey was ripping Margo appart with those double left hooks in the first 4 rounds of their fight till he got injured. I doubt Arum would even consider Clottey as an opponent after seeing how bad the fight was going for Tony. But I'll agree with the Mayorga fight, that would be fun while it lasts.

If I'm Bob Arum, this is how I handle Margarito if he gets re-instated....
