Margarito VS Rivera


http://www.doghouseboxing.com/chee/chee_0726cc06.htm


I have no problem seeing Margarito take on Rivera. The only problem i see with the bout is deciding at what weight it should take place. Why request the fight at 154? Because its beneficial to you? Why not fight Margarito at 147? If Rivera is looking for an oportunity to fight a big name like Margarito, he shouldn't be putting conditions to fight him. But then again, it would be a great opportunity for Margarito to become a 2 division champion and realy raise his stock in the sport.

Margarito responds:

Jose,

How are you. I was just told about your open letter to Bob and myself. I just wanted you to know that I feel your frustration. We both are looking for the big fights which we both know are out there, but for whatever reason, they aren't or can't be made. I wasn't going to respond to your letter, but I knew you would be eagerly waiting for one.

I won't take anything away from you, I won't question who you've beat to win your titles, or why you still have to work a full time job time when you are a three time world champion. I won't question any of your credentials, but it seems like
your very insecure of your status in boxing. I know who you are, where your from. There's no need for the bio.

I accept your challenge the same way I accepted Cory Spinks' challenge, but I'm also going to tell you the same thing I told Spinks, "You need to speak to your promoter and have him call mine". It's that simple, have Don call Bob. If this fight does not materialize, you need to know it was because your promoter did not make the phone call. If he doesn't make the phone call, you should thank him for helping you to keep your title a little longer.

Antonio Margarito
The Most Feared Man In Boxing.


Now this is a champs response!

I would like to see this fight happen too. Any fight against quality opposition like a Rivera will do. I guess Margarito has a December date on Showtime now, with Cotto co-headlining.
