    I think Clottey is not getting enough respect. People are like "Clottey did so good because Margarito is overrated."

    No, Clottey did good because Clottey is GOOD.

    Has anyone watched Margarito fight before? This is not the first time that he was outboxed early on. He is a known slow starter and usually gives away several of the early rounds.

    I have 20 of his fights and it was like many of his fights.
    I was saying that through the whole fight.. he's good Covers up real good counters real fast landed some nice looking combinations to bad he hurt him self. I have a feeling he will do real good in the future he looked really good.

      So basically Margarito can struggle with anyone and you'll just say it was one fight and it shouldn't mean anything. Margarito has struggled with guys much worse than Clottey like Santos and Perez. He just sucks. Why is that so hard to see?
      Thats cause both Santos and Perez were good fighters. You should stick to talking about fighters you know somthing about. Can Clottey say he knocked down Margarito no, but Perez can. Stop the hate. Clottey was going to loses with a hurt hand or not, and fact is they both had hurt hands so that excuse is unaccpetable. floyd is retiring, so you can stop bashing Margarito so much unless Clottey is your new hero.

          You ain't using your brain on this one.

          Clottey brawled with Guiterez, coming on him and fighting him on the inside.

          He couldn't do this with Margarito and when Margarito chose to fight on the inside Clottey was not willing to fight Margarito on the inside instead he'd go into a shell.

          Two differnt fights wher Clottey brought a differnt style in each one. Against Margarito he was way more cautious.

              So then you would have to used the same logic against Muhammed Ali who lost to Leo Spinks when Spinks only had 8 proffessional fights.

              Or how about =that great= Antonio Cervants who lost his wolrd title to a young 17 years kid in Wilfredo Benitez, same logic here came be used right?

              You should know better.

                No, this is a situational thing.

                  Stop bitching margarito you won nuff said. Emmanuel doesnt ***** about injuries when hes knocked out cold on the canvas, he just collects his 50 bucks from the club manager and drives home in his 83 gremlin.

                    oh great u havent heard this excuse before.

                    had ferocity known about this, it would have been considered a legitimate excuse.

                      The match warrants a rematch, lets see if Margarito will honor it.
