Manny could fight Margarito in November

November fight for Manny - Arum | The Philippine Star >> News >> Sports

Arum says that, if Mayweather doesn't happen, he could fight the winner of Cotto-Foreman at light middleweight. He is also looking at Margarito - be interesting to see how he much 'damage' he does without the plaster in his gloves.

Fwiw, I wouldn't want to see him fight Miguel Cotto again. As much as I love Miguel.

Thats really too bad, they're already looking at alternatives. I didn't have much hope anymore anyway.

side note i have a feeling if he ends up fighting Cotto again, Cotto may ask for testing too. just a hunch...what do you think?

I agree mate, the fact other names are being mentioned doesn't look good does it? Another fight with Cotto doesn't exactly wet the appetite - even at 154lbs. I assume that if they can't get the fight with Mayweather, winning another title at an eighth weight is the next best thing for him - although it is definitely not what the world wants to see.

As for the testing, you have a good point. I'd be more inclined to ask for the testing if I was Miguel Cotto (after he beats Yuri Foreman ) - especially seeing as he will be coming up another weight division. Then again, Cotto may not want to turn down the payday regardless if Manny agrees to the random testing or not.

Hopefully, the cheating b*stard (Margarito, not Manny).

After that B.S. with Margarito's plastered hands, he's become public enemy #1 in my book. Haven't been so pissed off about a boxer's actions since Vargas juiced for the DeLaHoya fight, and that was a lot less offensive than Margarito's actions: punk could have killed Cotto that night! I think he should have served some time for that crap. After all, it just tarnishes an already badly tarnished sport that much more.

I hope Cotto gets him in the ring again and throws him a beating...a bad beating!

I believe this is just negociations ploy by Uncle Bob, especially because a Cotto rematch doesn't sound very interesting and no one with a fraction of conscience wants Manny to give a huge payday to Hands of plaster.

The whole quote by Arum reminds me of football (soccer) agents trying to force a club's hand by saying there is already interest in their player 'from abroad' so they best put in a bid or lose him to another side.

Some may not like this question, but... How does "Marga-scumbag-rito" rate a shot a Pacquiao? Just because he's being allowed to fight in Mexico again, doesn't mean he should get a free ride to the top echelon of boxing again.... does it?
