    You shouldn't do immediate rematches if you win a fight or if you get knocked out, but that wasn't the case, also Margarito has had 4 fights since then, Paul Williams is the guy who deserves the fight with him.

    Mayweather was likely planning to fight Margarito if he won significant fights, but then he lost to P. Williams, and it seemed like the media in general was stressing Mayweather out so he quit the sport, but there are a lot of hypocrites who give Mayweather a hard time because he didn't go out and face Margarito who nobody knew. But people know to some degree who Paul Williams, Margarito would have made 2 times the amount of money he will against Shane, and lets face it outside boxing fans people know Mosley as name they heard somewhere, but more people will give Margarito way more credibility for avenging his lose to Paul Williams if he were able to. I think Arum is likely making excuses which he has done in the past because he knows Paul Williams is likely to win a rematch. On the note of rematches he gave Cintron a rematch. The one guy with recognizable name that he has beaten recently, and posed no threat at all. He knew what cintron was made of after the first fight ,adn that he could deal with it.

    I think that Margarito facing PBF was a similar situation. Hardcore fans were calling for that fight and to the average viewer Baldomir had more recognition.

    I don't think Margarito is scared of Williams. Maybe his handlers are, but I don't think he is. He probably feels he would have stopped him if he had a few more rounds or if he started faster.

    Unfortunately as Don King says "you don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate"

    For anyone to reach the conclusion or infer that Margarito is/was fearful of Williams is off the mark.That fight was a close fight,period and when it was all said and done,Williams won.Tony does not wait people out or hide under his bed,that B.S is tired...funny really.....the kneejerk reaction last week when the same conclusion was hinted at when The Mosley negotiations hit some haggling points.It is speculation as to what the actual behind the scenes arm twisting and impasse points are when all is said and done and has very little to do with the fighters themselves in many cases with few exceptions.Margarito has fought the vast majority of his career as "the other guy" and has taken what is at his feet,earned every danm ounce of respect he receives and has finally earned a place at the top,to call some shots and is now banking a huge very well known Shane Mosley in combination with Margaritos own new found recognition off A solid and convincing victory over a quality undefeated champion in Cotto,all leading to a huge rematch nextyear.....one frankly I see not a lot changing and the result remaining the same......but if all the cards line up right,it is happening.
