Antonio Margarito. The man wins the biggest fight of his career, what, two weeks ago? And now because he isn't calling out Williams straight away you want to accuse him of ducking? Bollocks. He's had such a hard fight, so he should take a little break, and he also now has options. Clottey? Williams? Winner of Mosley/Mayorga? De La Hoya? Mayweather, even? He has to be given time to think everything over first. Ducking is a term for when a guy is offered a fight and declines, because he doesn't want to fight him. Margo has not been offered a fight and there is no reason to suggest he would decline a bout, if it was offered. Please stop with this rubbish all the ****ing time. I'm sick of reading constant knee jerk reactions. A guy wins and he's the next ATG, he loses and he's a bum....stop jumping to conclusions so quickly!
After soundly defeating Margo, Paul Williams offered him a rematch while they were both still in the ring...to think Margo could have possible walked into the Cotto match with Williams' belt, but he didn't want any then like now.
I actually remember after the fight PW's team said that they were gonna make Margarito work for a rematch. They did not offer him an immediate rematch. I am not 100% positive but thats what i remember from back in those days. And to the OP. You cant stop haters. ITs funny how all the PW fans were gone after the loss to Quintana and some even went as far as to say he wasnt anything special but now of course he is the most avoided man in the WW division.... Im all for a PW rematch but i know Margarito is looking towards DLH, Mosley or even Mayorga because that would be a mega fight and would definately bring in more money. Just wait, the fight will happen and I think this time it will be very different from the first fight. Margo by late TKO.
Paul Wililams talks about it on the latest Boxing Confidential radio...he offered him a rematch right there...I'm talking about Paul Williams himself, man to man talking to Margo...not what his team may have been saying, since I haven't heard an interview with all of them...in any case Margo heard it from Williams himself.
The ironic part of all this "ducking" stuff is that Margarito has already fought the two most avoided fighters in the division (besides himself) Williams and Clottey. You want to talk about ducking, look up the word in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Floyd Mayweather.
Margarito is the man and he can fight whoever he wants, basically. He should take on Williams in the next three, but if De La Hoya or Mayweather calls, he'll have to take that call. If he wants someone else who is competitive - Mosley or Cotto for example - I'd have no problem with that.
Margarito already fought the best at welter.... clottey, williams, cintron and cotto so saying he is ducking fighters is simply ridiculous!
You act as if he fought Williams and won last year..."Margo has already fought the best, how can he be ducking someone...???" Are you guys really that thick...??? He's not ducking guys he beat already. He has been avoiding a rematch with Paul since before he left the ring the first time. The guy who beat him offered to rematch him, he doesn't care. He's not trying to avenge the loss.
Margarito isn't ducking anyone bull****:-( Margarito is pulling for a fight with Oscar and who can blame him?? if he loses he's financially set for life, Williams dosen't generate the $$$$$ that Oscar does and would be a tougher fight, so this is pretty much a no-brainer...
The offer of 4mil is on the table, a career high payday, if Margo doesn't take it he's ducking period.:deal
Oscar is not fighting Margo. It won't happen, stop using it as an excuse. Oscar doesn't want to lose, that's why he is looking for little men. Does Oscar have to send Margo a signed fax everyday saying... ...I'm not going to fight you -Oscar ...I'm still not going to fight you -Oscar ...Do you read, I'm not fighting you -Oscar ...stop using me for an excuse, the way I've used Trinidad all these years -Oscar
