No promoter is willing to invest that heavily in that fight yet,hence the reason it is not possible at the moment! Heck even Arum stated it in a link posted a while ago! He said that the fight was not worth it at the moment!

Fact is Margarito is the best WW on the planet bar none. I think Tony could walk through Zab,Baldomir(who he bust up in sparring),Gatti AND Hatton. So we need to see the 2 best fight each other! I AM a Floyd fan but I just don't like who he has been fighting in the last few years,I don't rate Judah and the rest speak for themselves. If he beats Margarito,credit where it is due,and even if fans try to belittle it,we true fans know it would be an awesome victory.
i take issue with a few of your comments there. i think margarito can beat baldomir and gatti without too much trouble. he can dispose of zab, though he must weather difficult early rounds. there is no way margarito simply "walks through" ricky hatton as you put it though. besides mayweather hatton is the most difficult fight out there for tony.

furthermore, margarito is POTENTIALLY the best welterweight. IMO he isnt the best at this point in time. until he defeats the other top figures out there, then he has no right to be described as the best. its jumping the gun a little. we need to wait and see if he can really prove himself once he gets his big chances....

Sorry,that was more my poor wording than anything else,Hatton would be a real challenge but I don't see how he could stop Margarito,if Maussa did that to his face,Margarito would serioulsy leave his slashed up!!!!! However,if Hatton did not cut up,it would be a close fight and 1 I would loooove to see!
for sure hatton would be a huge challenge for margarito, but you'd have to ask is margarito really ready to handle hatton as well. its an unknown quantity. both guys need to beat top guys in the division. much depends on how hatton looks against collazo. i want to see how he handles the weight, though im pretty sure it shouldnt be any issue.

anyway, hatton: margarito is a discussion for another thread at a later time....

lets see if mayorga can stop delahoya and lets see what floyd does first....

just gotta wait a little longer....
