a recent article by Steve Kim of MaxBoxing.com, Margarito is quoted about his feelings towards Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather has reportedly turned down a 8 million dollars to face Margarito.
Margarito tells Kim: “As a person, Mayweather has all the respect I can give him, but as a fighter, he has none of my respect. I can't understand how Mayweather - who calls himself the best fighter in the world and says there's never been another fighter like him - does not step in the ring with me to face me. I do not believe he should be saying that he's the
best at welterweight in the world because he hasn't faced me.
Margarito added: "He needs to face me, and he needs to beat me, because this is the fight that everyone is asking for. This is not a fight that I'm the only one asking for. This is a fight that everyone in the boxing world is asking for."

This is true,I believe Antonio to be the best WW and I think he would beat the crap out of everyone else,except maybe Floyd who is an AWESOME awesome boxer.So,we, as fight fans should want to see the best fights,regardless of how formulaic or 1 sided we think it will be. Therefore,this fight makes sense...the P4P emperor against this tough,rugged,monstrously sized Mexican WW machine.
