I am fed up with hearing Margarito and his promoter constantly going around demanding fights with the top men and claiming that when they are turned down that its because they are feared. Surely the best way to get these big money fights is to just continuously beat opponents.
Margarito's CV isn't exactly full of big names. I'm sure that his supporters will say that is because the big names don't want to fight him, but why should they, he hasn't proved himself. He needs to fight fighters who used to be at the top and look good or fighters that his current rivals have recently fought and look better than them.
Sure he is a live opponent, but then why would PBF or ODH take a risk fighting him, when they can make a shed load more fighting each other. For them there is no upside in fighting Margarito.
If Margarito gets the fight that he's clamouring for and gets soundly beaten, then he will be soon forgotten and we will all be left wondering what the big deal was about. Margarito has not done anything to prove himself to be in that class.
Now ODH said that they offered him a fight with Winky Wright but Margarito didn't want to know. I'm sure that his camp will say that it was because the offer wasn't good enough, but if they were so sure about their man's ability then it shouldn't be a problem. What better way for Margarito to make his point than to beat Winky Wright. This is the fight that will get him the big money. ODH has also put forward Smith and Omma. Both would add stock to Margarito's claims, and to be fair who will he be fighting instead and for how much?
