Mosley is out, who's next for Margarito?

[-Antonio-]

So because Shane said he wanted to fight Margarito, it was a done deal? I didnt know that. Last I read Shane wasn't even in Arum's plans.

you must have ignored the fact that clottey was winning every round until he injured his hand

Clottey did well until the hand injury, I give him that. But I'm not entirely sure it was Clottey's amazing ability, or Margarito's notoriously slow starts. Probably a little of both.

Still, no way he takes 1st place over a Williams match. They're #1 and #2 depending on which one you rank first.

All bull**** aside (I've been taking the piss a lot tonight). Why do people want a Margarito/Clottey rematch? I thought Margarito clearly won that fight. I'd rather see a rematch with Williams or Cotto.

It's mainly because of the question of whether Clottey could have won had he not hurt his hands.

I thought so. Clottey is good, don't get me wrong. But I think the result would've been the same hand injury or no hand injury. A rematch now would only be easier for Marg IMO because he's doing his best to get off to faster starts.

5? man your on crack, why do you ignore the fact that Margarito came in injured to the fight?

off a long layoff too, that doesnt change the fact he lost the 5 rounds. an in-fight injury has more impact then a lingering on you know u have.

Hard to say, Clottey became much more conservative after hurting his hands, allowing Margarito to take control of the fight. I think if they fought now and both were 100% healthy, it'd be a pretty close fight, a good one as well.

Could be. To tell you the truth I don't follow Clottey much. I saw the Margarito and Judah fights, that was it. I just don't care to see him fight, not sure why.

I still think Williams should be the top choice though, though Marg's fight in January '09 is likely to be a tuneup.
