I'd say he should rematch williams, but he'd get beat again in that I think. People keep on saying the only reason why margo lost is because he started so slow, well one could argue that the only reason it became close is cause paul took a few of the mid rounds off, and then basically dominated the 12th round to win the fight. its not as if margo had figured paul out and just battered him from post to pillar in the last few rounds, paul fought a very good strategic fights knowing which rounds he had to take and when it counted the most in the 12th he took it. Paul has an extremely sturdy chin as well, so I don't see a late tko for margo happening in that fight but it would most likely go the distance with paul taking the decision again.
The only reason Willaims won the fight was because Tony started late. At the end Williams was barely standing. Now tony is familiar with Williams freakish size, speed and flat punching . Tony within 8 roundsQuote:

He wouldn't make the same mistake twice.Quote:

I'd like to know where the logic in this comes from. Mosley in his prime may have caused Mayweather a few problems but i'd still edge toward Floyd but now I think Mayweather takes an easy decision. Cotto and Margarito IMO would get totally outboxed, all due respect but Mayweathers skills are still light years ahead of Cottos and he wouldn't let Margarito bully him into fighting the way he wants the way Cotto did. Williams with his height and good skills may cause Floyd trouble but I'm yet to see a boxing riddle that Floyd cannot figure out so I'd again go for a Mayweather points victory, and finally De La Hoya I'd probably give him the best chance of beating Floyd as he's already been in there with him and caused him a lot of trouble early on, but again Floyd turned it around and beat him (just) and I would if I had to bet on it go for the same result again.
I kinda see a Margarito-PBF bout coming out like the first Castillo-Mayweather fight, with Margarito getting the decision. Unfortunatley I don't think we'll ever get to see who's right on this one. Would be a great fight though.
I believe Margarito will go for the highest buck. Margarito from here on out will look at two thing's money than retirement.He's proved he is very tough now he needs that big ass payday to send him off. So with that I believe he will either fight Mayweather or Oscar.
Voted for Williams, but it'll be Clottey-Judah I reckon.
Margarito is the logical fight for ODLH to retire, and I think it'd be a good one, but don't see Oscar taking it.
PBF is all wrong for Tony and'll win a wide decision, but I'd still like to see it just in case. That's a fight for later after Margarito really puts a case for the WW crown IF he could get by Williams.
mayweather needs to step up.

I would like to watch a rematch between Margarito and Paul. I think that Margarito can win this one, knowing that after loosing the first half of the fight he could adjust in the late rounds, but it was just that too late. The result could be different if the fight was at 15 rounds.
The best fight for Margarito's bank account would be De La Hoya, but I really feel disappointed when I read that De La Hoya is searching for fighting smaller guys like Manny. I would suggest him to fight the winner of Calderon and Cazares ;D. I remember De La Hoya indicating sometime ago (I believe last year) that he wanted to retire with a big fight either at England or Mexico. Well, this is his opportunity to fight at "La Plaza de Toros" with Margarito who should be sending him to definite retirement. Actually, I believe Cotto can beat De La Hoya, which may be a good choice for Cotto's come back.
DLH must be looking for small guys with big names. That's why the names of Hatton and Pacquiao have come up. And yeah... (ha-ha)... it's only a matter of time before he calls out Calderon. If the Golden Boy really wants to cement his legacy, he should pick on someone his own size, like Margarito. But then again, Oscar doesn't want to leave boxing with a major league ass-kicking.
It seems that the next battle for Margarito is against Steroid allegations.
I know is crazy. I hate sore loosers.Quote:

If it is untrue, I cant understand why people would say it to hurt Margarito's repuatation when Cotto has been such a gentleman.
If it is true....My god, there will be a war!
Wow........Donny , i really don't want believe on that thing bro.......Quote:

It would mean he would lose all the respect he's craved for so long.
I don't believe the allegations.
Avenge his loss to Williams then rematch Cotto(after Cotto's next fight too BTW)
I would like to see Williams rematch all Tony has to do is start faster and he will win.He didn't get going till round 5 last time
The only reason I dont believe this to be true i because he took the same punches from Cintron who hits harder. But not for as long, but he did take them.Quote:

Williams will out punch Tony again....but I think Cotto could whip Paul Williams only he's a southpaw and could catch Cotto with something quick and powerful from an awkward angle
I believe he has earned the right to a money fight with DLH, but he will probably not get it, so his next best choice is to avenge his loss and unify the division against Williams. Then he will be regarded as top 5 pound for pound, even though I already think he is.
If he goes up and avenges against Daniel Santos (who just won a title), then he would be in the top 3 P4P.
For some reason, he has to get his the old fashioned, hardest route, but I respect his attitude and determination.
Now that Williams is moving up and Mayweather is retired who can take this guy out? I cannot think of anyone. The guy I had in mind just got beat.
