Antonio Margarito... before you forget, he's still a VERY dangerous contender.

[gyrokai]

Lets not forget who gave Williams a shot at the title the right way..... through the ropes. It was Margarito. He could have let Williams have his belt and get a VERY lucrative matchup against Cotto another competitive yet winnable fight.

NO.

He didn't he faced a BEAST, took a lower paycheck, risked being hidden away by the fans YET AGAIN, and fought him in front of everybody to see.

I understand what your saying. People jump off a the bandwagon so quick in boxing. The best thing Margarito can do is fight again as soon as possible against another good opponent and get a win.
Maybe against CIntron?

cc Nonito (Nonito's awesome btw)

If he gets it through his head that he lost against Williams. That he wasn't as aggressive as he should have been.
Then he should rematch Williams right NOW. I honestly think Tony isn't broke, he just has to keep doing what he does best, pressure fight.

Cintron is better now, so that would be a "crossroads" fight, with Tony going down and Cintron up in popularity. So that has a story behind the match. It would sell and IMO Margarito would knockout Cintron again.

Would williams give him a rematch?

With the disgraceful way Margarito handled himself after the fight, I would not give him a rematch even if it was the biggest money fight available. You always wonder, though, with these dumbass sanctioning bodies if the WBO won't order a rematch. Hopefully, that won't happen and we'll get a Cintron-Williams unification bout (I'm assuming Mosley, Cotto, and Mayweather will duck Williams until he establishes a bigger name for himself). That has the potential to be quite a fight.

Awwwe... did he hurt you and everybawdy else's feelings?

He gave Williams his shot and fought him.... like a man. Give him his props. It's just pride that makes him not take the loss like a man. He didn't have to fight Williams, remember that he could have fought Cotto instead.

I agree he deserves a rematch, but fighters need to show some humbleness in defeat. All guys do these days is make excuses.

I know humbleness is a great virtue. But you gotta understand the competitiveness involved, the pride that beats inside these fighters when they do what they do for a living. They lose and it's hard to accept. As for Vic Darchinyan... not accepting that he was knocked out, that's just plain ridiculous. And Zab Judah attacking referee Jay Nady for stopping the fight because Zab did the chicken dance and fell twice, that was unacceptable. But all Tony just did is say to Larry Merchant that he thought he was robbed. No big deal IMO. It's his loss if he feels that way. I think he can learn to deal with it. But lets not ask too much JUST after a fight that has to do with their lifetime careers man.
