clottey is a tougher fight than williams

[Fox McCloud]

VIVA's a coward.

Quit ducking me Viva.

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 can see why so many people got off the Margarito band wagon, dude, no matter how you slice it, Williams beat him and Clottey didn't, end of story.

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.

styles make fights.

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.

So, this is where we left out coward... you interested in showing up to finish this, or will you continue to duck me?

Now He Really Doesnt Hae Nothing To Say Since They Found Out Margarito Not Fighting Till 2009 And The Fight With Clottey Is Not Going To Happen Nov Like Was Planned

Clottey looked good against Zab, and he will push Margarito.

didnt everyone and there mother say that clottey dominated the first 4 rounds and was going to win an easy decision if he didnt get injured?? williams barely survived to beat margarito and it was a robbery in the eyes of the real boxing fans and the media who saw the fight live. so of course clottey is the tougher challenge. its just plain and basic common sense.

You know for a fact that Margarito comes on late, and Clottey was not going to win. So stop trying to use what others would incorrectly say to justify your arguments. You know for a fact that Margarito was going to become his usual whirlwind and overwhelm Clottey.

Also, Margarito admitted that he lost the Williams fight after rewatching the tape. Margarito outfought Williams wholistically, but considering it is scored round by round, the fact that he didn't get started until way too late means he lost the fight.

We all saw the replay and came away thinking Clottey earned a draw. Margs ear, nose, and lip were puffy and bleeding, his eye was swollen so we didn't think Margs won by 4 points on 2 cards and 11 on another lol. I'd look to see if I can get a Shane or Mayorga fight too if I had a choice to fight Williams or Clottey.
