COTTO'S 1ST TITLE DEFENSE SHOULD COME AGAINST MARGARITO

(IB-JUNE 10, 2010) Newly crowned champion Miguel Cotto said after his defeat of a severely disabled Yuri Foreman that he is "looking for big name fights".
Whether you consider the man, Antonio Margarito, a "big name" or not is irrelevant as Cotto MUST avenge that loss. 
The severe beating Cotto took at the hands of Margarito spurred major controversey as Margarito was later found to have illegal hand wraps in his next fight with Shane Mosley.
Mosley then defeated Margarito who was given a 1-year suspension by the California State Athletic Commission after being found guilty of the offense.
Some feel Margarito deserved a much tougher sentence than was handed down, but the fact remains he served his suspension and must now be given the opportunity to redeem himself. (more)
