    I think so as long as it makes sense. Khan should have rematched Prescott, but Sergio shouldn't worry about rematching Margarito (unless he had beaten Cotto again)

    but the truth is if Sergio HAD rematched Margarito... and beaten the **** out of him... his resume does go up. Than people can say Sergio defeated every man he ever faced.

    Marquez knows he will never beat Mayweather and he won't rematch him. Is he a true champion?

    Gee I wonder if this is intended to become an anti-Klitschko thread.

    On my very honor I will NOT bash either Klitscko in this thread. That is a promise and I will keep it. My word is iron.

    Good Point. I think Wlad knew he would have gotten ktfo again against Sanders in an immediate rematch so he ducked him. Good Point.

    What I'm confused about is why the hell Quitali Bitchko refused to rematch former SMW Chris Byrd?

    I admit I laughed a little inside upon reading that. Good job, Felix.

    you're right, but the only times he had to face Martinez again was a while ago and he probably would have lost again. Then the other occasion is more recently when the win wouldn't have meant much

    It's not that they have to. It's more like why wouldn't they want to?

    I would say yes but how about if the said fighter has moved up 7 or more divisions higher? :think
