    You think berto is ready for Cotto? Well I guess if he were to beat Clottey than most likely huh. Id rather see Cotto V Berto than Clottey V anyone.

    Margo never ducked anybody and Williams included. Actually I don't see any interest for Williams since Margo is the one to correct the result and not "The Punisher" from SC. Clottey may have a more decent case since he lost back then but he's going for Berto. I just want to see Oscar stop with this nonsense that he'll not fight PRcans for his wife and Mexicans - since, he's an american, who should he really fight - a 135 pound filipino??? ODLH is the real coward, not to mention the other one who already retired ( the runaway kid of boxing).

    Yep, you right. You could ask any guy at 106 to fight DLH and they'll take it. Hell, you can even ask someone who's not even pro to fight DLH and they'll take it.

    Marg is no coward, and I guarantee he'll fight Williams again. Avenge his loss, and try to take his belt...Like hell he won't do that. He just won't do it right now.
    I think that is fine that he doesn't. If he wants to fight De La Hoya, make a good payday, and help his career that's alright....BUT I haven't even heard him mention Paul Williams name!!! They asked him abou the future and he talks De La Hoya, clottey/ zab, but nothing about Williams.
    My guess is within 3-4 fights you'll have a unified WW champion of the world. Marg will fight De La Hoya, Clottey/ berto will unify. Next, Marg will fight the winner of those two. Then, the winner will go on to fight Paul Williams. I'm gonna guess it'll be Marg that comes out (could be PW about as easily tho), but I'd love to see Berto do it.

    I think his next fight will be Williams, and if not Williams then he'll fight someone who's 2nd tier. Mosley is tied up and I dont think he'll wanna wait that long to fight again. A fight against Berto isn't gonna happen. Zab definetely aint getting a shot at him. And Clottey has some kind of injury, I cant remember agian, but its said that the injury he has requires 5-6 months off. If Williams and Margo cant make a fight happen, then we just wont see too many good fights for a while.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that team Margo is trying to put off this fight in the hopes that Williams loses or can no longer make weight. However, Williams should be able to make weight for at least the next year or two. As long as he keeps winning, Margo wil have to fight him eventually.

    And even if Williams couldn't make 147, they could still get it on at 154 because both of these men are very comfortable at fighting at 154 and make this weight easier than 147. Fight needs to happen.

    Nothing! Seriously, he even talked about avenging the loss of JCC against ODLH. How ****in weak is that? You can avenge someone else's loss like your the grand champion, but you can avenge your own???

    I know everyone wants to see their boy get a big payday, but seriously... He made 1.6 against Paul last time, 1.5 + Royalties against Cotto, and is being offered 4Mil to fight Paul again.

    ENOUGH WITH THE FEED HIS FAMILY BULL****!

    Someone tell me how everyone feels FINANCIALLY sorry for this guy?

    ANOTHER PITIFUL ****ING EXCUSE!

    BINGO!

    They are really hoping someone else with a different style can take care of Williams so they won't have to. Make no mistake about it. Margo knew the first time, and regardless of his "slow start" excuses, he knows Paul is not the fight he's looking for.

    Dude......Marg has some dough....but in boxing you can always stand to make more. So you want to break it all down right....OK. Marg got about $3Mill for his last two outings right. Now you have to take out promoters fees, Manager fees, Training fees ect ect ect.... Marg is left with about $1.5 mill at the end of the day. It's still a lot of cash, but c'mon now bro.....Marg is MEXICAN...you know he's got kids and a long line of family. You call it an excuse where Marg and his team is calling it a SMART Move. If you want to make dumb decisions go right ahead but longevity in this game goes a lot further than rash decisions.

    But the "avenging the loss of JCC" is pretty ****ing weak. I think Marg is trying to SELL the fight. He doesnt need to do that. His name and DLH name are big enough to do that all by itself.

    He has some money, but he's looking to make some more and fight some good opponents.
