    i thought yuri could make it a boring fight.

    after seeing how cotto beat up yuri...... i don't know about that anymore.

      I think he's just trying to treed the waters at jr. middle to see how it goes. he's not fully sure of himself, thus the catch weight but if you are going to do it, might as well do it against a well known opponent who's been getting lots of publicity (good or bad) in the media is probably what they are thinking.

      A fight with Margarito opens up other fights in the division where he could say I'm proven and I got a belt.. Just in case Mayweather comes up with some bull**** again. Now you are open to fights in Jr. Welter, Welter & Jr. Middle.. leaving your options more than open.


      But those are just my two cents...

          Well Freddie Roach himself said two years ago that it'd be "crazy" to fight Margarito at 147. Things change.

          I think the real reason is that Foreman wasnt a big name so doesnt draw like Margarito.

              the real reason is that resto was exposed and now roach knows he has no power. did you see the garcia fight? pacs got this fight in the bag.
