clottey was a mandatory for too much time,he had to get a title shot.Margo either fight clottey or be stripped
What's more important? Keeping the IBF trinket, or facing Cotto for a career-high payday and being able to get the biggest win of your career?
Margo was not in danger of being stipped. He was told by Arum that he would have to give up the belt in order to fight Cotto.
This is why I agree that Margo is #1 welterweight at the moment. Yes he only has one belt, but he beat Cintron, and Clottey and doesnt need to prove anything against berto at the moment. Next up is williams who I think is #2 until both fight obviously.
good one, got the nickname at 16 by other guys i was in a band with just kinda stuck, i'm 49 now whats your story :smoke
Belts don't mean **** the fighter makes the Belt anyway. Only one I really pay attention to is the Ring Magazine Belt anyway.
