Former Champs Margarito, Cotto Set To Return

   Former welterweight champions Antonio Margarito of Mexico and Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto sets to return against different opponents in hopes to bring back their lost glory in the boxing ring.

  Margarito, 32, is set to face Roberto Garcia on a 10-round, 154 lbs limit at Mexico on May 8, while Cotto, 29, will face WBA champ Yuri Foreman, also at 154, to be held at Yankee Stadium in New York.

   Yesterday, Cotto announced via his Twitter account that legendary hall of famer Emmanuel Steward (Dela Hoya, Holyfield, Lewis) will be his new head trainer replacing nutrionist turned trainer Joe Santiago.

   Originally scheduled against Carson Jones in Pacquiao - Clottey undercard, Top Rank suddenly announced that the "Tijuana Tornado" would not return for unspecified reasons. Prior to that, Margarito was suspended due to the alleged tampering of his hand-wraps against Shane Mosley last January 2009.
