People need to get something straight about that fight: Clottey is a frontrunner, and he did what frontrunners do. Margarito is a 12 round fighter, and he beat Clottey's ass. Clottey is not some top secret world beater, hes a good fighter with some very obvious mental weaknesses. Oh yeah, and he didnt brake his hand. Think of Zab Judah pre Cotto.
Anyway I agree with the thread starter to an extent. Although he had only lost close fights to huge guys in recent years, he was pretty clearly defeated by Santos and Williams. That said, people didnt think anyone could knock him out, and on that level he was exposed. Although I think the Cotto fight really might have had something to do with that.
