Former three-time welterweight champion Antonio Margarito is counting down the days until his suspension is up. His license was revoked in February over a plaster-like substance being discovered in his hand wraps about thirty-minutes prior to his fight with Shane Mosley on January 24. The suspension is up on January 23 and Margarito is then free to apply for a new license.
Margarito plans to return between February and March, at welterweight, but says a move to junior middleweight is in his future. If WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto is able to beat Manny Pacquiao on November 14, Margarito would like to give him a rematch. Cotto's sole career loss, by knockout, came to Margarito in July of 2008.
