Wow there is some healthy discussion on this thread to say the least!
I agree with El Gamo that Margarito deserves a rematch seeing as he was the longest reigning welterweight champ and didn't have to take the fight.
Williams was his mandatory and a real tough opponent. Margarito was offered the chance to fight Cotto for more money and is many ways less risk as a loss to Cotto would hardly damage a career yet he went against his own promoter and gave Williams the chance anyway rather than relinquish his belt like Hatton, Mayweather and De La Hoya would be only to happy to do.
I'm not sure Tony beats Williams in a rematch I just don't think he's fast enough, especially early, but their last fight was one of my favourite fights of the year and Tony definitely has a punchers chance at least.
If guys like Zab Judah can lose a one megafight after another without their star appeal fading at all then surely Margarito deserves another shot.
Stylisitically I think Williams may be a bad choice but I'd love to see him in a rematch with Kermit Cintron and I think him and Cotto would be one hell of a good fight.
Andas mcuh as it annoys me how many opportunies he gets Margarito vs Zab Judah could be as entertaining as any potential fight in the welterweight division.
I hope Margarito continues to get big fights imo he's always in exciting fights and comes to win. Wish there were more like him.
