"Now that I'm going back down to 147, I need a tune-up baby and Margarito sounds like the perfect opponent."

"If Margarito ain't got nobody to dance with baby, we can salsa his style or we can do da butt my style. He can fight me! We can do it in vegas and I guarantee we'll do more tickets than his last fight. Nobody even knows him out here. His last fight was a ghost town. I heard he did about 35,000 buys last time. That's great, but I could've done about 35,000 buys with just my family. Instead of begging for someone to fight him, he should fight up-and-comers. It takes two to tango! How's he gonna ask for a fight with the man when he ain't even fought nobody himself? Bob arum could offer me 10% of what he offered Mayweather and I'll come knock him out for that. I ain't trying to be paid, I'm just trying to be the best pound-for-pound fighter out there. If he's looking for a name, he found one baby. I'm right here. Ain't going nowhere. Now let's see what him and his little promoter do. Is Arum going to blame it on Oscar or is he going to let someone fight his baby? He's gotta let go of that umbilical cord some time."

"Now that I'm going back down to 147, I need a tune-up baby and Margarito sounds like the perfect opponent. I think he's a dumb fighter! He's wide open and I'm a great counter puncher. There's a time and place for everything. Everybody wants to fight Floyd. Everybody wants to fight the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, but I'm not going to call Mayweather out yet. I haven't done anything yet, just like Margarito hasn't done anything yet. So let's get together, salsa a little bit, tango a little bit, dance a little bit, and after I finish knocking him out, then I'll be in a position to call out Mayweather. Stop all the talkin and tell Bob to call my promoter immediately so we can give the fans something to get excited about in the welterweight division. If Margarito is all that, then he shouldn't have any problem with fighting me. I have a bigger name in the sport of boxing than he has and he's a champion. There's no reason why this fight shouldn't be made!"
