I sure he will get the fights soon if he is as good as people say but is he good enough to compete with the likes of PBF, miguel cotto, ricky hatton and all the other top quality fighters today.
antonio margarito is not even close to being the most dangerous fighter in boxing, thats something that bob arum said a while back to promote his new guy now that pbf severed ties with him (dont forget that it wasnt too long ago that arum said pbf is the best fighter hes seen since ali) and a few people actually bought into it
the only fight that margarito tried to get, and didnt, was against mayweather. after arum made the "boogeyman" statement, a bunch of welterweights went on record and said they would be happy to fight margarito, but for whatever reason he opted to fight clottey instead (possibly to keep the false hype going)
the reason that margarito is having a hard time getting a fight with a big name is that margarito hasnt EVER fought anybody, and recently lost to a guy named daniel santos (a total nobody who also said he would be more than happy to come back down in weight to fight margarito again) not to mention hes lost to a few more nobodies earlier in his career
the whole margarito hype machine has cooled off a great deal recently, and with good reason
