Walter Matheyesse (or however his name is spelled) wasn't scared to fight Williams, neither was Sharmba Mitchell, neither was/is Cintron, and none of the top fighters are scared to fight him either. Paul Williams is good, but not on the level of a Mayweather or Cotto (yeah, I finally that admit Cotto is a bad-a** after the Mosley fight) and Margarito is a few notches below Williams. Paul Wiliams is a B+ fighter, so I guess that leaves Margarito at a C or C-

Beating a washed up Golden Johnson (who was never very good in the first place) means absolutely nothing.He's got a good promoter, and that's it.

Let us not forget that he also lost to Daniel Santos not too many fights ago.



Antonio Margarito is not a big player in the welterweight division, by any means.
