Now Everyone is Discrediting Clottey?

[pesticid]

I am looking at it objectively, whe you break your hand you usually break a knuckle, I 've broken my right twice on the pinky knuckle and it hurt like a ***** I couldn;t imagine throwing it. Look at other fighters that have broken their knucke, they stopped throwing it altogether. Clottey lost power from his right hand too.

Oh yeah, look at the end of the fight when they took the glove off, and were cutting his wrap-ups. Not a single grimace.

I am a Clottey fan too you know, I've seen like 5 or 6 fights of his but in his last fight he was out of character. He held something I haven't seen him do before, he complained about every punch he got hit with on the belt line, and he ran ala "smoke' Gainer in the 10th round. And this wasn't due to a hand injury cause we already know there wasn't one. I doubt it even went as far as X-raying it.

PS: I saw Clottey landing the "BROKEN LEFT" to tony's elbows past the 4th round, didn;t seem to hurt him. He was slapping at times. He wasn't slapping it when he was jabbing now was he.

I've broke my middle knuckle on my right hand & from my experience I was still able to use it. It hurt like hell though but I still punched with it. But what gets me is that he ABRUPTLY stopped punching in the 5th round after winning the 4th easily. You can't say he took alot of punishment or was tired. He literally stopped & when he did punch he used the right hand. From that point you knew something was wrong with him.

Watch the fight & tell me if he was hitting the same kind of authority like he did from the first 4 rounds. He wasn't; he was pawing with the left & was slapping for the most part. He couldn't get Margs respect after that & it showed because earlier his power was moving Marg; after his output dropped you could see the snap in the punches was gone.

So even with your hatred you still have Margarito at #6, just goes to show that no matter how much hate you have fore the guy you still rank him in the top ten. But someone reading your post you would have them belive Margarito is outside of the top 20. Tell, all these guys you just mentioned to sign the contract to face Margarito.

I don't have hate for Margarito, I have hate for his fans that claim he could beat PBF, Cotto, etc. when its obvious that he is nowhere close to their level. I hate guys like you for claiming that Floyd should fight him over OSCAR DE LA HOYA. That is the dumbest thing you could possible say.
My having him at 6th best in the division proves that even though I think he is overrated, I still have taken a realistic approach to where I rank him. As I said, I don't have hate for the guy. I just put him where he belongs.

You can say that cause you ain't the one in the same ring with Clottey. Yes, Clottey wanted to quit no doubt about that, but its a fact that he keep on and fought back, Margarito was just too much.

How is that a compliment to Margarito? He was too much for the one armed man? Thats funny that he was getting embarrassed when he was fighting the two-armed nobody.

This was a pretty good thread until ferocity had to come in.
