Has Margarito EVER made serious attempts to call out guys at least CLOSE to his size?

    All this "he is to big for welter" is complete nonsense. By those standards, P.Williams shouldn't have been allowed to fight at welter, in fact, he should be competing against guys like Dawson and Tarver since they are about the same height.

    How about Cabellero, 5'11" and fighting at bantamweight (122). There is too many to name.

    Marg might be a cheater, but the logic behind your argument is weak.

    By the way, what does ethnicity have to do with anything? You mentioned Tijuana and were condescending when referring to his ancestors. What really ignited the thought? The dude is not even relevant anymore!

    Years of angst over Floyd still not having fought an elite welterweight.

    Margarito never got his ass whipped by PW or Santos. The PW fight was close as hell and the Santos fight was a hometown decision and a dodgy stoppage when Margarito was coming on. Margo also called out both Floyd and Cotto when they were WW's and he was a WW, meaning they were in the same division.

    Think its hilarious hes calling out Cotto for a rematch even though he "won" that fight convincingly, yet he lost to Mosley and wants no part of that again. Why do you want to fight the guy you beat again, and not the guy that beat you? Makes perfect sense to me, as that is something I would want to do to ensure victory, but in boxing its suppose to be the other way around.

    Vice versa, as well. Margarito planned to bludgeon Mosley to death with loaded gloves, but was caught.

    Exactly. This guy Scar is an obvious chump. He only starts threads about Mexican fighters. Bet his ass got handed to him by Mexicans through out school and his life. :deal Sounds real bitter all the time. Anyway the only fighter in history to run and hide from fighters his size and carefully cherrypicks his opponents is his idol "The Fraud Floyd Mayweather jr". Mayweather might call Out Vic Darchinyan next at 147. Get lost lame. :hi:

    If he can make welterweight it means he's a welterweight, end of discussion. Margarito's size makes him look like a middleweight fighting at welter too but since he can make welter and overpower opponents with size(concrete in reality) why wouldn't he?. I can make the case that Margarito is a Jr. Middle or a Middleweight as well but they know he's a failure up there so he's stuck where he is, unlike Williams.

    Speaking of the Williams fight, they never wanted that fight anyway. According to Arum, at the time, he had Margarito/Cotto signed with a date ready and agreed on, all they had to do is win their next fights. Cotto against Mosley and Margarito against any tomato can or a Cintron rematch. Williams FORCED them to take it by becoming his mandatory, Margarito wanted the fight with Cotto to be a unification so he ignored Arum's advice and signed the fight.

    All that is a load of garbage.

    You honestly want ANYONE to believe guys like Vargas, Mosley and Wright are scared of this zero skill one dimensional tomato can?

    Vargas who fought Mosley twice, De La Hoya, Trinidad, Quartey and Wright is scared of Margarito?

    Wright who fought Taylor, Trinidad, Mosley twice and moved all the way to Light heavyweight to fight Hopkins is scared of Margarito?

    Mayweather a 5 weight division champion who currently has serious pland to fight Pacquiao is scared of Margarito?

    He was avoided because he had NOTHING on his record to make ANYONE bother and pay attention, if anything he had endless question marks about how he never attempted to avenge ANY loss. Remember how almost EVERYONE was calling him out as soon as he scored his FIRST major victory over Cotto?. These guys fight for money, why give an unknown with a **** poor record a fight when they can get far bigger/better/more attractive ones with others. If they had no options and still ignored him then I'll believe you, that wasn't the case.
