I, for one, dont know where Margarito goes from here. Paul Williams is hinting about goin up in weight, and possibly as high as 160. Should Margarito follow him? I think it would actually be a good move. I would just hope that Margarito gets to revenge his loss before Williams is chopped down by 1 of the huge punchers at middleweight. At middleweight he would maybe get a shot at Pavlik, that is if Pavlik, too, doesnt venture north.
I just dont see whats left for Margarito at 147, especially if he cant lure Mayweather out of retirement. There is one fight I'm sure Margo is interested in at 154 with Daniel Santos(who handed Margo a loss a while back).
I also wouldnt mind watching Margo fight the former 147 pound ruler in Felix Trininidad. I think it would be interesting, due to the fact that Tito would be fighting as, basically Puerto Rico's last line of defense, having seen Margarito just smash two of Puerto Rico's stars in his last two fights. What do you guys think?

He should fight the winner of Clottey and Judah. After Clottey beats Judah he should get his long awaited rematch :D

I know man. People say Tito is shot, amd I just dont see it. I thought he looked pretty good against Jones, he was just too small. Margarito and Tito are pretty much the same size, and they could meet at a catchweight around 162, cuz I think Margarito could definitely carry another 15 pounds comfortably. And Tito is undoubtedly jealous of the attention that Cotto has been getting, and what better chance of once again overshadowing him by beating the man who just him. Tito claiming he cant make 160 anymore is bs, I think hes just afraid to, because the last time he fought there vs Wright, he overtrained and come fight night he was flat. Tito could still make 154(imo)

He already beat Clottey, its not his fault Clottey injured his hand, it happens, and what if the same thing happens in the rematch, should Margarito waste another 6 months of his career and give him a 3rd fight? No. He should go after the man he last lost to, Pwill. It just makes more sense, doesnt it? Beating someone you lost to proves more than the Clottey fight(imo).

I agree. Paul Williams should be the next fight. Depending on how Clottey looks on Saturday, that will determine whether I think a second fight is needed with Margarito. But Paul Williams stock is pretty high right now after his destruction of Quintanna, so a rematch should happen.

So you dont beleive in rematches ? Clottey deserves a rematch if he beats judah just does margo deserve a rematch with williams since he beat cotto.

In my eyes , i favor williams and clottey over margo and thats because of their styles

If you say it like that why should P Will waste time in fighting Margarito again. Looks like he might go up in weight anyone so you might as well say hes out of the question. I say Clottey because How much of a Whooping He gave Margarito and hung in there with a injured hand. Thats not enough for a rematch?

Beating Cotto made him the ring champ so, yes if Paul is smart he will fight Margo again. I have no problem with Clotty getting a rematch somewhere down the line, just not in Margos next fight, that spot is reserved for Paul Williams. Who knows we might see Judah take Clottey to school.

Highly unlikely but who knows stranger things have happened.

Judah always has a shot, especially if he comes into a fight focused.

I think the winner of Clottey-Judah would be nice, but Williams is a definite somewhere in the near future. He kinda has to be. Then again I think Clottey deserves another shot regardless. But I really have no idea where Marg is going to go from here. Maybe a De la Hoya fight.

mayweather will have to come out of retirement to fight him.

Doubtful. After Mayweather watched Margo destroy Cotto he is probably very comfortable in retirement.
