One fight in 2008?? All seems like such a waste. He wanted the recognition and to then not build on it by taking an extended time out is foolish. The guy most likely has another 3 years at the top. Maximum. And here he is trying his best to be inactive for what will be almost a year.

Some logic! Margarito might be able to take a punch, but there sure isnt much of a brain being rattled around.

think he might be over enjoying his win over cotto
Exactly.

Better to stay in view and at least try to fight twice a year. Having a big win and then taking a year off is too indulgent and completely fails to build up any new momentum for his career. If you only have a good three years left, you dont take a gap year!!
