Margarito is a far better fighter than he has been given credit for as of late. Margarito came off a 1 year layoff with a badly sprained ankle and still beat a Clottey that really look like he brought his A game. I know Clottey hurt his hands in that fight but I also believe that MArgarito hurt a hand. That said the circumstances and the fact that Clottey is the wrong guy to use as a measuring stick (super huge welterweight, i think he is done at this weight) probably negates most observations from this fight that people have stated. I too thought he looked slow, was stationary and too easily hit and could never really hurt Clottey. But there were legit reasons for this lackluster performance.
