By Dan Ambrose: Former IBF/WBA/WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito (39-8, 27 KOs) could be facing junior middleweight Ramon Alvarez (23-4-2, 15 KOs) on July 16 or 30, according to ESPN.com. mx. If the 38-year-old Margarito defeats Alvarez, which would be very likely given the flaws in his game, then Margarito could wind up facing Ramon’s younger brother Saul “Canelo” Alvarez later on in 2016 in a revenge of the brother type of fights.
You have to wonder if this is something that has been planned out by Canelo’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya because a fight between Canelo and Margarito is just as much of a circus-like mismatch as the recent Amir Khan vs. Canelo fight that took place earlier this month on May 7 on HBO PPV.
