Dan Rafael had a blog a while back that said Margarito-Williams wasn't going to happen anytime soon because Bob Arum has beef with Al Haymon, Williams' manager. It has something to do with the negotiations for Williams-Pavlik falling apart. Arum has said he won't do business with Haymon. Since Clottey is also promoted by Arum, this fight is not likely to happen anytime soon, although it makes a lot of sense. According to Rafael, on Nov. 29 Williams will likely fight either Michael Jennings (his WBO mandatory) at 147 or challenge Verno Phillips for the WBC 154 pound title.
After that, it would make a lot of sense for him to fight Mosley. Both guys are going to have to wait on Margarito and Cotto since they are probably going to rematch next June, so the only money fight for either at 147 or 154 is each other.
