The former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito is reportedly very confident about his chances to beat both Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. A source in Margarito’s camp was contacted by Golzka to discuss the fighter’s current status. Margarito’s team is going through the same motions as Cotto by waiting for the final conclusion to Pacquiao’s negotiations to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. in November.

The source claims that Mayweather may elect to wait a little longer and push the Pacquiao fight to a date in early 2011. Top Rank, the promoters for Pacquiao, will bring him back on November 13 with or without Mayweather.

If the Mayweather fight is pushed to next year, Margarito’s team is still claiming to be first in line to fight Pacquiao in November. If Pacquiao and Mayweather decide to fight in November, Margarito’s team believes Top Rank will attempt to make a rematch with Cotto at the end of the year.

“Antonio would love to fight Pacquiao in November. The fight was discussed with us. Antonio has always said that he has the tools to beat Pacquiao and he still believes that to be true. If Manny Pacquiao elects to fight Mayweather, Antonio would like a rematch with Miguel Cotto or Shane Mosley. He wants to set things straight. A rematch with Cotto would erase any doubts about the first fight. Antonio doesn’t see anything being different in the rematch. The result would be the same.” – By Ruslan Chikov | Boxingscene.com
