    How come Arum was talking about matching Cotto with Clottey had Cotto beat Margo?

    Cause he could easily make that fight happen, and he could make it happen in Puerto Rico

    Clottey/Margarito II will happen . . . if Clottey makes it past Judah. Other wise it's gonna be Judah/Margarito.

    There's no where for Margarito to go . . . BUT to unify and establish himself at 147 . . . Arum won't be a fool to put him up at 154 at this point.

    Yep. He's gonna have Margo try to unify the belts

    He could also easily make the Clottey vs. Margo fight happen. The guy I responded to made it seem like he wanted mulptiple fighters in his stable with a belt. However, had Cotto won, he would've matched him up with the other title holder in his stable(provided that Clottey wins).

    Team Margo mentioned 3 names as his next opponents; Judah, Mosley, and Hoya. More than likely, it will be Mosley next.

    I think the Mosley fight would be a damn good fight. I hope it happens

    There are more meaningful and better fights out there than Mosley, such as Berto or Williams.

    Maybe so, but if you follow the conversation here we're talking about what is actually going happen. BigReg is talking about the best possible matchup, realistically speaking, and he's exactly right.

    Great boxer ?
    What is a great boxer?
    A great boxer doesnt have to be a cutie with a vast assortment of fancy offensive and defensive moves.
    But a boxer who has perfected all of the basic fundementals and has the ability to excute them consistently.
    Physical attributes --- chin, stamina, strenght, speed and most of all --- mental focus will assist in emphasizing his greatness.
    This is Antonio Margarito.

    When Clottey beats someone on the level of Cotto, maybe he can talk. Until then, he should STFU.

    Margarito is not a great boxer. If his head was not made of cast iron and if he could not eat combinations by good punchers he would be just another guy. These type of punches usually back off anybody, but this psycho path keeps coming. He is one of the toughest son of a bitches I have ever seen. What the hell, do they just punch him in the face during training camp as a routine.
