Negoiations for Margarito vs Mosley in January begun today

According to this article, Golden Boy and Top Rank met today to put the fight together.

If it happens, even though I like Mosely, I don't give him much of a shot, especially after seeing how much trouble he had with Mayorga.

The article also says that there is a rumor that Casamayor is trying to break away from Golden Boy, so that he can try to get a fight with Barrera.

Man I know Margarito is trying to make money, and I respect that but the fight the people want to see is with Paul Williams. Hopefully he will fight him next year.

I'd like a Margarito vs. Clottey rematch but This one sounds like it is growing roots and might just come off. Also convinced Williams will be moving up,writing on the wall! I like Margarito to win in a fight that may get rough for both.I think Mosley has not totally fallen off career wise but against awkward & physical Mayorga he really looked to bomb him out and not look for boxing.If he looks to out tough Margarito with 2 or 3 shots at a time,I see him lossing lopsided.

This will go badly for Mosley.

This is a fight that should have happened a few years ago. Mosley will lose easily

After Mosley's last performance, how can he actually think that he can go toe to toe with Margarito?

I really don't see it happening.

I really don't see it happening.

Mosley can go toe to toe with any of the welterweights, he struggles when he goes upto light middle and always has. I think he feels he has a good chance of doing what Cotto couldnt and box for the full 12 rounds without gasing. As much as I love Mosley though Margarito maybe too much for him at this stage in his career but then again Mosley has never been a fighter who ducks a challenge.

Interesting matchup actually,Margarito used to just keep throwing at the wall and hoping it would stick,but recently his work rate has come down.
But then again so has Mosley's
Its probably going to be a bomb festival that comes down to superior defense
