    I don't think so, it will be a tough fight though and a fight I believe Clottey can win.

      No, it is you, who, in fact, needs to use some plain and basic common sense, because I know that you don't believe that Clottey was going to win that fight, and neither do I.

      Only the idiots around here don't realize that it is common practice for Margarito to look not so great and lose the early rounds, but he comes on like a ****ing beast after round 4 or 5 in like every fight.

      The exceptions to the above are when he sparks someone like Golden Johnson in one round, or when he is able to impose himself really easily on a Cintron or something like that.

      Regardless of a "hand injury", Margarito knew he could walk through what Clottey brought, because Clottey is not a puncher (some people insist he is, but 7 of his last 8 Ws have been decision wins), and he was going to start and keep pressuring Clottey, and Clottey was just going to shell up.

      I think Margarito wins the rematch pretty handily to be honest with you.

      Seriously though, I don't know how in the hell you honestly think the guy Margarito beat is a harder fight for Margarito than the guy Margarito lost to.

          Not an effective answer.

          He has already fought both, so we have seen how Clottey's style matches up with Margarito's, and how Williams's style matches up with Margarito.

          The results speak for themselves. Margarito got a fairly wide UD over Clottey, while he lost against Williams. You do the math.

          For Antonio Margarito, Paul Williams has been proven as a tougher fight than Joshua Clottey.

          Plain and basic common sense.

              clottey is a great boxer and counterpuncher with good defense. i think this is the toughest style for margarito to fight. margarito cannot just go in recklessly and in the first fight he didnt really beat up clottey. he just outworked him.

              in the williams fight margarito just started slow and once he got going he gave williams a vicious beating. from the look of both fighters after the fight you would think margarito dominated the entire fight. in the rematch margarito will just get started earlier and dominate williams so im glad margarito is being a real man and true warrior and taking the tougher fight with clottey. this is the same as when margarito took the tougher fight with williams instead of cotto last year.

              I disagree, Clottey is another front runner and Williams won the 12th rd against Tony, he's the only one who can match Tony's work rate, has a good chin and uses his height advantage.

                  The good news for everyone is that I am going to keep bumping this thread until Viva stops ducking me.

                    Thats his answer to anything he can't answer, he throws out a generic response which he himself doesn't understand.
