Golden Boy has 3 Fighters Ready for “Most Feared Fighter” Margarito

there has been a hearty dose of bluster from the camp of WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito, claiming that he is the ‘most feared fighter in boxing’, and that no one is willing to fight him.

Golden Boy Promotions has the solution to Mr. Margarito’s problem in securing an opponent for a fight this year – in fact, it has three solutions in pound for pound superstar Winky Wright, former junior middleweight champion Kassim Ouma, and rising star Ishe Smith, all of whom are willing to battle Margarito at a moment’s notice.

Williams (I REALLY hope this December fight on Showtime is with Williams)
Collazo
Quintana
Ouma
Smith
Wright

That’s 6 people who say they’re willing to take on Margarito and I haven’t heard a peep out of Arum or Margarito about any of them. Hmmm.

Who's our next boxing superstar?

do you think ishe smith is ready for him?

he wont fight winky (which we be cool as hell to see) …but id like to see him fight ouma

5

Nope. Honestly I really don’t. But I know all those other guys are.

6

I don’t think Ishe Smith can beat him

7

Can you imagine the punch stat numbers for an Ouma - Margarito fight? :o

I reckon Ishe could pull off a big upset. He’s pretty slick. Remember how he schooled David Estrada, certainly beat him more convincingly than Cintron did. Plus he handled Bonsante with ease, a man capable of fighting Alan Green at super middle weight.

He’s a good fighter and I wouldn’t be suprised if he could tame Margarito and run out a UD.

9

Just because he was capable of fighting him.. did not mean he stood a chance. Im pretty sure everyone expected that result.

10

No all I’m saying is Ishe could hold his own against middleweights as evidenced on the Contender so at 147 lb Margarito would not necessarily be able to overwhelm him. If he couldn’t and it came down to boxing ability you would have to give Ishe a hell of a chance, as he is a very slick boxer.

Could be kind of like a Chavez Taylor or Karmazin Spinks kind of fight.

11

Ain’t gonna happen. Soon as someone steps to Margarito he says 'Talk to Bob Arum, if it doesn’t happen its your fault." ::**

12

Ishe & Ouma would defeat Margarito, Margarito is a soilid guy but I feel Smith is to good for him as is Ouma!!!

13

HAHA this is funny. People think that margarito would ko floyd yet when ishe smith is mentioned some people actually think he would beat margarito. I just think this shows that the margarito beating floyd myth exists because people dont like floyd and want him to get beat. Margarito is too slow ok people, floyd would pound him into the ground. Who cares about his power…zab had power, castillo had power,corrales had power, gatti had power(yeah i see this going like that fight). I think floyd would beat margarito down like he did to gatti.

14

I’d see it going like the Jesus Chavez fight, tough guy but just not good enough

15

Magorito needs to fight any of those guys. He needs to get in with some respectable opponents so that way when he starts calling people out then he has more credit to his name.

16

Yeah I sort of agree, he’s fought some respectable compition but has never really fought the top 2 or 3 guys in his division.

17

Fighting and beating the shat out of Ishe would prove nothing,the Winky fight is at 158 and an Ouma fight would be@154 but Arum said he wants Tony to stay@147. I’ll be honest,I want Tony to fight these guys,anyone else and I would be dissappointed:
Quintana
Collazo
Winner of Clotteys next fight(most likely fight to happen and peeps,Clottey was beating Baldoimr,had points deducted,was still ahead and then DQ’ed)
Those are the names to beat,they are all hungry,dangerous fighters.

18

I’ll agree with you on all those guys, but Ishe is in the same league as these guys.

All of these fighters were virtual unknowns a couple months ago Game. It only takes one fight for a fighter to suddenly become the next big thing. As galaxy says Ishe is on the same level as these guys. His appearance on the Contender has dented his credibility but if you’ve ever seen the guy fight he’s a very slick, very solid fighter.

He cruised past David Estrada who then went on to challenge Shane Mosely for a world title and gave Kermit Cintron fits for 9 rounds or so. He handled Bonsante with greater ease than Allan Green did last week, ok so he doesn’t have the punching power of the much bigger supermiddleweight star but his defense is top notch.

I think he’s certainly capable of mixing it with the likes of Margarito and Cintron etc. Good fighter, just an arrogant gobshite with it.

Not really,he still hasn’t done anything to warrant a shot at Margarito,all the names I mentioned have done far more.PLus Collazo was no “virtuual unknown”,he beat Rivera in a great great fight for the 147 title…
