More excerpts from that interview:

After De La Hoya's comeback win over Ricardo Mayorga in May, Margarito would confront his nemesis at the post-fight press conference at the MGM Grand, and Mayweather would tell him that this was all about business (i.e.- I'm waiting for Oscar) and that they would make a deal when and if the time was right.

“Mayweather was just a bunch of lies," Margarito believes. "Just deceiving not only the public but the actual boxing people themselves. Mentioning that, 'I will fight Margarito if this fight between Oscar and I does not happen'. But it’s just like the Americans say, 'It's a bunch of bulls**t.’ It’s all talk, he doesn't want to fight me, he's afraid of fighting me.
For him to say that's it's not about being afraid, it's just a bunch of B.S."

Does Diaz believe they will ever face Mayweather?

“In my honest opinion," he says, "I don't think he will get in the ring with him. Floyd knows what Antonio can do to him. I think Floyd right now is trying to stay alive for a May 7th (2007) fight between him and Oscar. That's what he's going to do. He's going to hand-pick his opponents and he's going to look for the easiest one."(Cintron>?)


So is a bout against Quintana a suitable contingency in his mind?

“I’m glad they're talking about October 7 and now that I'm hearing it's a pay-per-view, that's great," says Margarito, whose record stands at 33-4 with 24 KO's. "When it comes to the opponents, I don't know anything about Quintana. I did see him fight, and it's not really an opponent that I'd like to fight, but I will face anyone.
