Antonio Margarito vs Ryan Rhodes

i believe this would be a great fight if it was to be made, i think their styles would mesh perfectly and this would end up being a war. i doubt Arum would agree to put Margarito in with Rhodes though as the risk vs reward factor would nyot be there unless the fight took place in England where it would make better money. Rhodes is the wrong side of 30 but in his recent outings he has shown himself to have a new lease of life inside the ring. Margarito must be looking to make an impression after his lacklustre return performance and a fight with Rhodes would give him that opportunity to re-establish his once fearful reputation

It's a possibility because both are quite high in the WBC rankings, maybe an eliminator will be ordered.

I agree though, it would be a fun fight.

yes Ali and they are both high up in the WBC rankings which makes the fight even more of a possibility should Martinez decide he is stayin at 160lb and vacates his WBC 154lb strap. I think Rhodes would win, he is the bigger and stronger man and i believe is the better boxer. this fight would be good for Boxing as a sport

Would be a good fight, but I still want to see Margo vs Angulo! Now that would be fireworks!

Imagine that, put that fight at the Staples Center in LA and have them going to war, who I believe Angulo wins, but the crowd would be the winners!

Gary Shaw wants to match the two together, but Margarito is chasing a Pacquiao payday.

i doubt he will get Pacquaio, i'm assuming Pac will retire after he fights Mayweather. that's gotta be Pac's next fight (hopefully). Angulo vs Margarito would be great fun too, there's more chance of that happening then a Rhodes fight, all of a sudden 154lb is starting to light up a wee bit

According to Bob Arum, Margarito will be first in line for Pacquiao if the Mayweather fight doesn't happen.

oh i don't doubt Arum would make that fight in an instant. but if it is at the expense of Pacquiao again refusing to USADA style testing, whereby he'll be again reluctant to prove his innocence, then it could cause uproar if Margarito vs Pacquiao was to be made. iot would make the sport look so bad
