He can do many things. If he fights in Mexico, which I most furiously disagree with, then fine let him find fights in Mexico or where ever outside of the United States. After all he does have to keep his ring rust away. However, like you specified he is under his own judgment obviously provokes this once again. And many more after that.

On the other hand if he does and indeed continue searching for fights which will not be as “bankable” what message is this going to send out to the organization that revoked his license. What will most definitely be on their minds when he [Margarito] comes back mid February of 2010 for his license. “Sorry, Mr. Tijuana Fraudnato, but you did not quite take your suspension seriously. So looks like we won’t be approving this.” Not to mention, that given the facts, [as not exposed to the public] it will be extremely hard for him to actually get his license to its proper state with his burden. It’s almost, but not literary, like a dead man walking with a hangman’s game.

As for what Cotto will do should he get by Michael Jennings on February 21 as we all expect he will emphatically do, titleholders Shane Mosley (WBA) and Andre Berto (WBC) are both in the running. Arum says Berto may be the better financial arrangement for Cotto, but I don’t see it. No matter if it’s a 50-50 split with Mosley or a better Cotto split against Berto, the guarantee for a Mosley fight — which can be sold on PPV, while Berto probably can’t — has to be a lot better, doesn’t it?

Given the brilliant performance of Mosley against Margarito, I doubt Goosen will go all out with such agreement but:

What if—- a fight is finalized between Mosley and Berto for mid April or late April… Unification.
The winner of that match should face Cotto [should he get by Jennings] in June…. Unification of all three belts.

Now that would be a PPV I will actually buy and the first in perhaps 3 to 4 years.

I am way past done with these bozos. Margarito and Capetillo – their stories make no sense, are totally laughable and can be sliced apart by a cold butter knife. Seriously, I don’t want to hear another word. I still want to hear every word “Che Gueverra” sunuvabitch had to say, because CSAC has a lot to answer for as far as I’m concerned. And now, I also want a closer look at the Nevada commision’s chain of events and cast of characters… I won’t get that, but I want it.

And now Arum is making absurd overtures about putting together some sort of Tijuana “donkey show.” Not only is this completely sick and twisted idea, but its tandemount to asking Miguel Cotto to sign his own death warrant so Arum can squeeze one last turd of a fight out of this crooked Margarito crew. Have any of you ever been to Tijuana? “Mad Max” does not even begin to describe that town’s legal system, and I imagine that if they could cram a sawed-off shotgun into one of Tony’s gloves, they would. And when Bob started that jive about “simply because he is Mexican” I almost punched my TV screen. Sick, sick stuff.

He was bludgeoned by Margarito. That fight makes a lot more sense in retrospect.

Look, there’s no proof at all that the “pads” were used in the cotto fight. The commission hasn’t even said what they are. Is it plaster? Cement? Dirt? Blood? Wet gauze? No one even knows, you’re basically just going off what Nazim said in the heat of the moment, and some other hearsay. They have not yet proven Margarito knowingly cheated (and may never intend to, they’ll just let him take the fall for what THEY may have been complicit in signing off on). The main reason everyone thinks Margo cheated against Miguel is because they couldn’t believe that Cotto could be beaten by TJT (which is kind of ridiculous, I predicted the exact outcome of the fight). One things for sure, the “plaster” didn’t even have time to “harden” twice against elite WW Cintron, and to discount Margo’s talent/power without full knowledge is not wise.

I’m not defending cheating, or saying Margarito did or didn’t do it or know, but unlike most I’m gonna wait at least until the whole story comes out.

Arum is right. Margarito does have a right to make a living. Only I disagree that he currently has the right to make that living in a boxing ring.

I’d like to see him, say, a bouncer at the worst dive bar in the outer barrios of Ciudad de México. Either that or behind bars.

the cotto fight is his most “suspicious”. cotto was rocked early (2nd round i believe), so its not that hard to believe that cotto would eventually get rocked later on in the fight as well. still after all of this i can safely say that i will never root for margarito again.

Margarito only has himself to blame for all the linger doubts people have of him.
