      By the time Martinez established himself, this being in the first Paul Williams fight, Margarito had already gotten his ass beat against Mosley and we all know the scandal that took place with that, which kept him out of the game for a year.

        Why would it? Martinez was no one until Shane had already mopped Margarito.

        Sergio Martinez was the 160lb champion. Margarito came up to 154 for his last three fights (Tuneup against Garcia, Pacquiao, Cotto).

        After losing to Shane Mosley, Margarito went for the money and landed on two big PPVs. Why would he fight Martinez in a fight he would likely lose on regular HBO when he had two far more winnable opportunities for much, much more money?

        Plus, it's been established that the two really like each other now.

          By the time Martinez was ready for a rematch he was fighting at 154 lbs and Margarito was at 147. And when Martinez became a big enough name on HBO to warrant any interest in the fight...Margarito had been already stopped by Mosley and Pac while Margarito moved up to 160 lbs.

            Margarito offered him the rematch but he wasnt ready. Even in the build up to pacquaio Martinez said he doesnt want to fight him and he said Margarito beat him fair and square.

            All this loud talking just come from his wishing he had the balls to say that to margarito , so instead he trys to take it out on the other mexican. LOL

                i think that loss was very frightening to him, margarito's face was all over him even when he sleeps

                kidding aside, wouldn't it be possible today for maravilla to fight margarito to avenge that loss in 2000?

                    Why didn't Margarito rematch the three dudes who beat him before he fought Martinez?
