    who cares who wins at this point lets just get those two into the ring together. that would be one hell of a fight!

    i think the match up between antonio rivera and margatio is a fight fans match up.

    make this happen, plus margarito needs to be fighting someone that has a belt, there is no reason other than a tune up fight for Margarito to be fighting cosme rivera, although he is scheduled to fight Josh Clottey which is a good match up, but if i was Margarito or apart of his team i would be trying to grab ahold of another belt. even if it's in another weight class.

    too many times in boxing do we see boxers hold out for money or certain fights and it puts a dullness on their career, at least from a fans point of view. it also takes a little out of them because they spend too much time out of the ring. although margartio has fought he sure as hell wasn't challenged in his last fight and he wont be challenged in his next fight either.at least it appears to look that way. i think he should scrap the fight with Cosme and he should go straight towards Clottey which is a good match up and then go right after Antonio Rivera.

    Margarito should be more concerned about winning and staying sharp verses what big name fighter he's going to land for his next fight(so far none). Antonio Rivera is a little bit of a high risk and low reward other than his belt, but we all know that A.Rivera isnt a big name and isnt a big draw, but with those two fighting on TV that could change with an exciting fight, which i think would happen if these two got into the ring.

    from a fans perspective this is a solid fight to watch, being a match maker and guiding someones career it's a risk.

      Cosme Rivera? That's the same guy Zab put down with the 1st punch he landed? I'm sure he'll stand much a chance against Margarito.

        this fite would be a toss up for me. **** rivera is one tough cookie and has the qualities to ko margarito. tony should pull a mayweather and avoid this fite.

              nah... its Antonio Rivera a jr middleweight champ.

              i will pick Rivera against Margarito by UD but i wont surprised if he will win by KO. Rivera has the edge in skills, experience and has fought quality fighters than Tony.

                Haha, we were. Though someone else brought up Cosme Rivera since he's fighting Margarito. So I said, that guy sucks balls and shouldn't be fighting him. This topic is about Jose Rivera though

                  rivera, would win.
                  he boxed great in his last fight, and fought a great fight (even though he lost)against the slick soutpaw luis collazo.
