    Cotto wants margarito fight

    Caguas - It remains a 'small' detail to formalize the fight, but Miguel Cotto today reiterated its readiness to meet in rematch Mexico's Antonio Margarito, contrary to the terms he did two years ago.

    Not ruling out the option of facing the towering Argentine champion, Sergio Martinez, subject to the achievement agreements "weights" between both parties.

    "What names are to fight, as I have been fighting since 2004? Big fights, fights that the public likes and want to see, "Cotto said in an interview with El Nuevo Dia in school facilities in Caguas Mech Tech.

    "There is not much on the table and I understand that a fight with Margarito would be lucrative, it would be what we expect to get and give us the opportunity to avenge the defeat, " he added.

    His speech, however, was very different in early 2009. On that occasion, when he discovered the bandage Margarito illegal minutes before being knocked out by Shane Mosley, the Caguas native monarch ruled that "never again face the Aztec fighter who had to serve one-year suspension because of the incident.

    "You have to adjust to what life brings you. We must make the necessary adjustments to be right with what you get, "he said Cotto now also ready to face Martinez, the current sovereign middleweight (160 pounds) of the Council (WBC).

    That option, however, should be subject to negotiation of weight, and 'weight' (dollars). Cotto is a champion of the 154 pounds and said he "would not do (160 pounds). I do not get there ... could require that he (Martinez) down a little, "said Cotto. "At this time the weights are manageable. These are things that are included in contracts and to reach a determination, "he said.

    sorry... had to use google translation (sucks)
