Tony: I know Floyd is scared to fight me, so I’m not going to be waiting around for Mayweather. I’m not going to beg him for this fight.
Interviewer: Antonio, what are your thoughts about Bob Arum guaranteeing a minimum of $8 million for a fight between you and Floyd Mayweather on October 7th in Las Vegas?

Tony: I’m ready to fight Mayweather right now.  I’ve been ready to fight him since the fight was first offered to me.  It’s up to Mayweather to accept the fight and it’s up to Bob to make the fight happen.

Interviewer: Do you see any reason why this fight can not be made?

Antonio Margarito: I don’t feel there is any reason why I would not to take this fight. I know Floyd is scared to fight me, so I’m not going to be waiting around for Mayweather. I’m not going to beg him for this fight. Of course this fight can be made on my part, and I know Bob wants to make this fight, but it’s up to Floyd if he wants to fight me. If he’s going to continue to be afraid of me and doubt himself, then he needs resolve those issues.

Interviewer: What doubts do you feel Floyd has in fighting you?

Antonio Margarito: He knows that I’m a natural welterweight, and he’s never fought anyone as big as me. Since the fight with Oscar is off the table, Floyd is not going to make the money that he’ll make if he fights me.

Interviewer: Based on Floyd’s recent performances and your recent wins, do you feel you have what it takes to defeat the fighter who is arguably the best in the world?

Antonio Margarito: Definitely. This is my time. The money is always good and it’s always there, so this is my time to show the world who I am and that I’m the best.

Interviewer: How do you feel you would be able to deal with Floyd’s amazing speed?

Antonio Margarito: Floyd is quick, but I’ve seen him quicker at the lower weights. He’s not as fast as he used to be, and I will have to pressure him and put my weight on him. When I work his body we’ll see how long that speed lasts.

Interviewer: What advantage do you believe you will have going into the ring with Mayweather?

Antonio Margarito: The major advantages are that I’m bigger, stronger, I have a longer reach, and I will be fighting at my natural weight.

Interviewer: If this fight is made, it will be said that if you had problems with fighters like Daniel Santos, how are you going to get past Mayweather. How do you respond?

Antonio Margarito: These are two different fighters with two different styles. Santos was a southpaw while Mayweather fights orthodox. Mayweather is coming up in weight while I was the one moving up in the Santos fight, so these are two different fights.

Interviewer: If for some reason a fight with Mayweather can not be made, who could we as your next opponent?

Antonio Margarito: If Mayweather wants to fight then I’ll fight him, but like I said before I am not going to beg him. I could also fight Hatton and Baldomir, and I have a lot of trust in my promoter that things will work out. If this fight with Mayweather and me happens, I will not let you down, and you will see that when I knock him out.

I'm dying to see this fight, I hope Floyd takes it. If not I'm sure he will get the money he wants fighting Baldomir

[Souroush]

magarito will never get a chance to have a lucrative fight in the future, he dug his own grave, who knows how many of his wins are legitimate,

margarito should never be allowed near aboxing ring, the last time a person got caught for what he did went to prison him and his trainer

Richardson was in Margarito's dressing room to witness the wrapping of his hands as allowed by CSAC rules. One hand already had been wrapped and approved by the CSAC before Richardson's arrival.

In the process of wrapping the other hand, Richardson questioned the amount of tape going directly on Margarito's skin, and asked for a rewrapping. During the rewrapping, it got to a point where a cushion was placed across Margarito's knuckles. But when Richardson asked if he could "feel" the cushion that's when the Margarito camp began to protest.

Margarito's co-manager Francisco Espinoza was the most defiant telling Richardson, "I expected this from you," to which Richardson said: "You should expect me to do my job."

Over protests from the Margarito camp, Richardson was allowed to feel the cushion. "It was brick hard," said Richardson, who told the Lohuis to feel it himself. Once Lohuis felt the cushion he ordered that it be "opened up," Richardson said.

"When he opened it up, a little square block of old wet gauze packed real tight came out," Richardson said. "It was like it had plaster on it. I think it had an old dried up blood stain on it."
