Not sure who he could fight. Mosley ruined him and he looked like a punching bag every fight from then on. Even as a crossroads opponent I imagine he'd be widely outboxed.

Seems foolish but he will make money because he's a big name.

Is he gonna fight in Mexico - dont think he'll get licensed even in teas with that eye, although that would't surprise me. Would he still be under Top Rank contract, I mean is there anyone to fight at 154 - Cotto 3 (think it has no value),Martirosyan, Lara - Alvarez, Trout, Molina are all GBP aint they?

God I hope not. Following the wrapping controversy, those that felt strongly against Margarito got their justice in a way with the beatings he received against Mosley, Pacquiao and in the Cotto return. The battering he got from Pacquiao completely ruined his eye/orbital bone and had it not been for a bit of corruption, he wouldn't have been allowed to fight Cotto.

Now he's just done. There's no "revenge" angles or even any relevance to him coming back and it'd be a real shame if he did.

Man, he can't fight with one eye... We saw what happened with Cotto. That was a fight he was in and had a good chance of changing the outcome in the latter rounds. But with that damage to his eye he had no chance. A guy who takes that many shots, and to have that kind of injury is done...

Cotto just went straight for it in the first round and it swelled up immediately, everyone will just do that. I think Cotto used the inside of his glove a bit but fair play to him.

Wouldn't be shocked if Margo fought Cotto for a 3rd fight in PR, Cotto isn't below it and he would make some killer cash.
