I read an interview over on Boxingtalk and Bob Arum said they are trying to make that fight on that date I believe. I don't think its a official yet though.Quote:

I would still favor Margarito in the rematch. I have never been a fan of Margarito but after watching his fights and disregarding his "most feared man on the planet" like comments I have to say he is a good fighter with a great chin. I don't see how this fight would be any different than the last one.
Cintron should stay away from this one. Styles make fights, and margarito has Cintrons number. But if he does take this fight, you have to give it to him. He has balls.
If Citron has picked up his game a notch and is going in without injury... I dont see why he shouldnt have another run at it
He's back in the title mix and isn't wasting anytime. Good luck to him.
would love to see this fight come off, it will be a heall of a tear up aswell as display some top boxing too... another great addition to 07
Fair play to Cintron. I posted just the other day on a similar subject that he should rematch Margarito. Any fighter surely wants to avenge any loss they have.
don't see why Margarito shouldn't fight either Cintron or Williams again, IMO Cintron would probably give him a tougher rematch than WilliamsQuote:

If Margarito beat Cintron, though, that would give Margarito the IBF belt and Williams would have something to gain in a unification match.Quote:

I think Williams is going to be tough for anyone at 147 with his work rate and iron chin and would pick him to win a UD, but Cintron has a lot of power and if a guy lands a hard shot on the right spot it doesn't make much difference what kind of beard you have. I think it would be an excellent fight with the winner set up well for a big match in '08.
If I were Cintron, I would have fought boxers such as Zab Judah, Quintana, etc. in order to get more rounds in under Emmanuel Steward before a scrap with Margarito or other top tier guys. As is, Cintron is looking for redemption and perhaps money, so he will probably take the fight. I believe Cintron is a different fighter than during the first fight and a better fighter under Steward. This will be a fight of the year candidate and Margarito will not have as easy a time as the first time.
Cintron would fair a lot better, but Id still pick Margarito to beat him, maybe decision this time. I think Cintron would look good to start but Margarito would start to dismantle him as the fight goes on and pick him apart in the latter rounds.
u Have saved My fingers...Exact Thought!But I Think Cintron Destroys Williams?w.t.f ?Quote:

Then again I can see this more as Cintron redemption/Margaritos shot at gettin back in the mix fight rather then it being for the damn! belt.
I take Cintron in a re-match.Quote:

I think cintron can beat margarito this time around. Cintron is a much better all around boxer now. Manny Steward is a great trainer. If they meet again. i expect cintron to win.
Cintron is gonna get beat again.
Cintron isn't going to outbox anyone, if he can't stop you, then he'll mentally fall apart unless his power bails him out. But if you can take his punches he can't stop you.
Margarito would've beaten Mathyisse (sp?) sooner and beaten his ear off.
Seriously though, this fight just isn't very interesting. Cintron talked about moving over to the UFC. Considering the state of the welterweight divisision, Cintron's background as a wrestler and Sherk recently testing positive for steroids this may be his best move.
Margarito should stay with it and maintain himself at welterweight. Judah would be beneath him at this point. There just aren't enough interesting risk/reward matchups at 154.
Margarito/Cintron II would be bad for both.
