My cousin (who is a sports writer for a local newspaper in PR) talked to Arum at the Cotto-Quintana press conf in Puerto Rico, and Bob told him that the plans for Cotto are that IF Cotto beats Quintana, he will fight Urkal in March here in Puerto Rico and then Margarito on June at the MSG, but first Margarito needs to beat Clottey AND IF he beats Clottey he will face Paul Williams (his mandatory) b4 facing Cotto on June...

That's all, peace...

Thank's bro..

Bob tried to pit Margarito against Floyd when Floyd was STILL in his stable..
he is just trying to put meaningful fights together...im looking forward to it.

Hopefully all goes well and Cotto and Margarito can get it on.

That's awesome news. I can't even fathom Margarito fighting not one but TWO good opponents and BACK TO BACK. The best two opponents he's ever faced and back to back! AMAZING!!!! I expected nothing less from Cotto of course, being the man he is.

The big IFs are Cotto beating Quintana (I don't think he will have much trouble with Urkal) and Margarito beating Williams...

I wouldn't mind seeing Cotto-Williams at MSG on June, but I think that Margarito-Cotto would sell better cuz of the Puerto Rico-Mexico rivalry.

Thats what I've been saying and also Arum said that in one of the interviews about Quintana-Cotto

**Tha Greatest** · 10-05-2006, 06:38 PM

I'm ******* off to Cotto-Quintana.

Nice to see not ONE but TWO good fighters step up and fight Margarito...unlike what Floyd, Zab and Mosley did..kudos to those guys.
