Time will put everything in its place, those are the words of one Antonio Margarito when referring the sudden coronation of Saul ‘Canelo” Alvarez as the WBC super welterweight champion.
Antonio "Tijuana Tornado" Margarito
The three time welterweight champion feels that Alvarez, a fighter who in the eyes of the “Tijuana Tornado” did not deserve the title shot, was able to conquer the green and gold belt.
“It is true what Jose Sulaiman said, that some of us weren’t available because of injuries,” Margarito recently stated. “Paul Williams, myself, but the way that he has been brought along is not right and with time, that will show.”
Margarito had to opportunity to capture said title last November but was not able to compete with the speed of Filipino congressman Manny Pacquiao and was defeated via unanimous decision.
“It is a posibility that he will do some optional defenses but sooner or later he has to face the ranked fighters and that is when we will see what he is made of,” the Tijuana native said.
World class fighters are listed in the top spots of the WBC super welterweight listings such as Margarito, former interim WBO champ Alfredo “Perro” Angulo, two-time world champion Paul Williams and former Olympian Vanes Martirosyan.
Margarito received the green light to begin training after his right eye surgery after his loss to Pacquiao and it is rumored that he will face Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in a much anticipated rematch of their ’08 war.
