I don't want to sound nasty here Daxx but it sounds like your just making excuses for Antonio Margarito. Where as if this was Floyd Mayweather people would be calling him a chicken ETC.

But Antonio Margarito gets praised for turning down a fight, which he really has no good reason to turn down ? i just sometimes don't get fans at all.

I like Antonio Margarito but i also like Floyd Mayweather, and we have to be fair here. Antonio Margarito accused Shane Mosley of ducking him in the past for supposedly 8 million dollars.

Which i don't believe for a second that a no namer at that time Antonio Margarito, would bring that kind of offer to big name opponents like Shane Mosley/Floyd Mayweather.

Then when Antonio Margarito gets the fight he has supposedly wanted, he avoids the fight ? that sounds like a hypocrite to me and thats all i'll say, until i hear more on the matter.

But i don't see how anyone else couldn't think that way at the moment.

Sound how ever you want but when Margarito was looking to fight these big names no one gave him the time of day....Now he should just accept every challenge?....Fair play in my book....

For years Tony was ignored....These names could have fought him then but choose not to.....He was side stepped...Disrespected by all as a "Club Fighter".......Even many posters on this board referred to him as such....

Margarito waited paitently for his time....No one needed him...now they NEED HIM...for the big fight because he is the big fight....Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot....

Those guys could have fought him and given him a payday but choose not to...so why not seek the biggest payday he can?.....He and his promoters know there is a bigger one available or these guys will up their ante....

If Williams people were so quick to have a 4 million dollar payday available to him means they are anxious...anxious enough to add to the pot....

Williams sat on his ass for a year gloating after the Tony win....leave him sit some more.....

A win over Mosley will just bring criticizim and everyone knows it...It will be "Mosley was way past his best why didn't Margarito fight so and so"...

His team knows that.....so make the best of it....Right now it is about Tony maximizing on what he has.....Rightfully so

Maybe if everyone would have given him some respect a few years ago he would be happy to return the favor but they didn't.....


As for those who are saying Margarito is avoiding anyone they are out of their minds...He not only fought but dominated the man no one else wanted to face Miguel Cotto...Tony fears no one
