    Avoided by who? .... and what do you mean avoided?

    He's not marketable .... he doesn't have a big name .... his resume is very weak .... he doesn't bring much money to the table ... he can't promote a fight .... he doesn't have a big following ...

    If the name of the game is "prize fighting" what kinda prize would you get fighting this guy. There isn't much clout to obtain and not much money to obtain ...

    Add to that during his reign he had 4 losses ... fighting once a year ... and wasn't making much noise.

    He never headlined a venue ... and has been living off the hype created by his promoter.

    Margo does lack head movement and his feet, well he doesn't have any. I'm aware, I'm calling it for Cotto. I just feel It will be a tougher fight than what u say friend.

    He is a fighter that brings more risk than reward. Yea he's got losses, not like he was murderd or knocked out, but a loss is a loss.

    Lemme ask this if I may... Do you think he deserves a shot a Cotto?

    Honestly no ... but it is what it is ... they're both under the same promoter so its evident that this would be the big fight that Margarito was craving for.

    I'm not sure that he just wants a big payday rather than a meaningful fight.

    Cotto is a top 5 p4p'r ... he's a multiple division champion ... and he's had more total title fights in less time than Margarito.

    If he beats Margarito I will put him number 2 pound for pound behind Pacman.

    i cant even vote on this one cause....

    cotto is overall more skilled
    but i think margo is better @ what he does than cotto....

    so i dunno man.. its tough
