Mayweather was likely planning to fight Margarito if he won significant fights, but then he lost to P. Williams, and it seemed like the media in general was stressing Mayweather out so he quit the sport, but there are a lot of hypocrites who give Mayweather a hard time because he didn't go out and face Margarito who nobody knew. But people know to some degree who Paul Williams, Margarito would have made 2 times the amount of money he will against Shane, and lets face it outside boxing fans people know Mosley as name they heard somewhere, but more people will give Margarito way more credibility for avenging his lose to Paul Williams if he were able to. I think Arum is likely making excuses which he has done in the past because he knows Paul Williams is likely to win a rematch. On the note of rematches he gave Cintron a rematch. The one guy with recognizable name that he has beaten recently, and posed no threat at all. He knew what cintron was made of after the first fight ,adn that he could deal with it.
I think that Margarito facing PBF was a similar situation. Hardcore fans were calling for that fight and to the average viewer Baldomir had more recognition.

I don't think Margarito is scared of Williams. Maybe his handlers are, but I don't think he is. He probably feels he would have stopped him if he had a few more rounds or if he started faster.

Unfortunately as Don King says "you don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate"
