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.
Margarito walked up to PBF during an interview it's caught on tape if havent seen it here it is.

It's short but you can clearly see & hear what happends. PBF uses the $$$$$ as an excuse to not fight Margarito. I sait it before and I'll say it again why did PBF choose to fight Sharmba Mitchelle for his Welterweight debut? ? ? why didn't he fight a REAL Welterweight. There were soooo many names out there he could have fought but he didn't. As usual he took the easy route.

Theres an interview on MaxBoxing not sure if its still there but Sugar Shane Mosley said and I quote 'I am not ready to fight Margarito I need a couple of more fights at Welter then I might face him, but whats PBF excuse?' end of quote.

Carlos Baldomir in an interview shown on tv (Republica Deportiva on the Univision station) and I quote 'Margarito is a good friend of mine we've talked and I explained to him what my plans are I don't plan on fighting him anytime soon, At this moment I'm here to make the best of this oppourtunity that I have tha being fighting PBF for a BIG showdown' end of quote so basically saying hes looking to make the most money he can before his ride is over.

So thats 3 of the top fighters around that clearly turned down a fight with him. Then you have Paul who I personally have began to like in the ring he and Margarito almost have the same style very aggressive and look for the BIG punches. I mean look sat who hes fighting Jacy Kuhn why is Paul fighting him, Margarito couldn't get the BIG fight now but just because of that hes not gonna go fight some nobody.The Paul comes out with his gym war storys now wether its true or not what happend between him and Margarito thats just that a 'gym story' you know how many of those exsist where a reg. boxer comes in and gets the best of an already established fighter. Just send an e-mail to any writer out here in the L.A area and ask him what hes seen or hear. He'll end up sending you a book on that.

Williams is in almost the same boat as Margarito they are both trying to get a BIG name in the ring they both wan't their shot now tell me whos been standing in line the longest & whos been there in the top welters for a minute now? I can assure you if Mragrito fights Paul and beats him we'll end up with the same crap that he got for beating Cintron and Kyvelos. That he fought kids who still were green and over hyped it's the same excuse that people used when Calzaghe beat Lacy.

Anyway, I always end my Margarit posts like this.... Hes never claimed to be the best, all he want's is his chance to fight the best.
