I like the article though I don't agree that too many people will actually believe Tony is ducking Cotto. I'm a big time Cotto fan and would have liked to see the fight but Margarito has a career of his own and he deserves to take advantage of his opportunities as they present themselves. Margarito's team is right about not wanting to give up the belt as it already hard enough for him to get a fight as it is. I understand Arum's concern about having to replace Cotto's iopponent for June but again, even as a Cotto fan, I can't see how that's fair to Tony.

Bottom line is Tony's doing what's best for him and I for one commend him for it.
