Margarito to face Judah in March?

It appears that a battle of former welterweight champions with near identical records is being discussed for March. Antonio Margarito (35-5, 25KOs) and Zab Judah (36-5, 25KOs) may lock horns in a clear eliminator for a future big payday.
Margarito-Judah was previously pitched by Top Rank to Showtime, who turned it down and instead televised the Tarver-Santiago tripleheader. Initially, it was being reported that Margarito would face Jose Luis Castillo in an obvious mismatch, but that appears to be off. Steve Kim of AUTO MESSAGE: The webmaster of this site has requested that we do not use any content from it.... please delete this post says Judah is current opponent being discussed for the fighter known as the Tijuana Tornado.
If sources are correct, Margarito-Judah would be a co-feature to a tentative bout between WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto and Joshua Clottey (should he beat Shamone Alvarez). If Margarito and Cotto win, they would collide in either May or June.
Interesting fight. I think the only question is, can Margarito destroy Judah faster than Cotto did?
