    1.Do You Feel Margarito Should Fight PW? If Not, why do you feel that way?
    Yes, eventually, not right now. To see who is the best WW.
    2.Do You Feel Its Justifiable That Mararito up to this point has not fought anyone post cotto, and more specifically pw?
    Cotto took a beating, but so did AM. You can't expect him to back-up quickly, particularly against PW.
    3.Who Would You Like To See AM Fight Next?
    Dreams: PBF, Really: Berto
    4.Does it upset your or do you feel its appropriate That Margarito May Fight cotto twice in a row?
    I don't want him to fight Cotto. It will be a meaningless beatdown that could end Cotto's career.
    5.Do you think margarito would beat Floyd and if so why?
    Yes, he is too big and strong and PBF will not be able to hurt him. Why not, PBF, a very good defensive fighter, will throw one-punch combinations, hold and go for a decision ala ODLH.
    6.Where Do you Rank Margarito p4p?
    Today: Possibly top 10. Top 20 for sure.
    7.How Do You Rate Margarito Overall as a fighter?
    Tough, practically undentable granite chin, hits hard, non-stop energiser rabbit type fitness, slow, one-dimensional, poor defense.

    Margo should but wont fight PW.... I dont think that fighting Cotto in a rematch is a gimme fight that many others seem to think it to be. Cotto really only needs to stay with the gameplan that he had, and avoid the bodyshots early, and he stands a good chance of winning a rematch..... No he wouldnt beat Floyd. I reasoning for this is unlike most here have actaully seen Margo fight most of his fights and he doesnt deal well with movement. I think that all you need to do is watch the first half of his fight with Cotto and extend that four or five more rounds and you will have the outcome of a Floyd vs Margo match. Floyd would turn Margo and have him reaching all night. People tend to bring up the Castillo fight and use that as a measure of how he would do vs Margo...Problem with that is Castillo is actually a better fighter then, then Margo is now. P4P??? I would say the bottom half of the top 10...Overall Margo is a solid fighter, he is overrated as a puncher, and needs to be matched smart. Example a fighter like Spinks would give Margo fits, and barring a knockout Spinks would beat Margo. Margo will always look good fighting small Welters that are there for him to hit, its not something that he would be able to do if he moved up in weight, which is the reason that I say that he is just a solid fighter. I think that the proof is there, in his fights with the bigger fighters Margo dont really fair that well you could say that he is 1-3-1 vs big welters or jr middles those are Clottey, Santos, Williams and Jones.

    too many people here dont really understand boxing, Arum saying that Margo is a welter, and turning down fights above isnt by accident. Also the fact that he hasnt and doesnt fight alot of "BOXERS" isnt by accident...I know that some will say I dont know what Im talking about but just check it out:good

    1. Yes. There must be a rematch.
    2. I heard he has a fight early next year, co-topbilling a PPV again with Cotto.
    3. Rematch either Clottey or Williams, or Shane, or any young guns like Berto.
    4. No problem with that. If Cotto believes he has a good chance in the rematch, let it happen. It is not like, they are both cherry-picking if they fight each other.
    5. He has a good chance. Pressure, size and power.
    6. Not in the top ten yet.
    7. +B to -A. Very good, tough *******.

    1. Yes
    2. Yes

    6. Between 5 to 10 (present only . . . NOT ALL TIME)
    7. above average skills . . . but big heart and solid chin
