WHO WOULD HAVE WON IF CLOTTEY DIDNT BREAK HIS FINGER?

clottey

[boozeboxer]

First of all Sal I haven't watched the fight. But from the phone calls I have gotten that if Marg had been hurt then the outcome would of have for sure been opposite. IF IF IF
Injuries are part of a boxer, and the boxer who fights through it or doesn't get injured is superior to those who do.
I;m not taking anything away from Clottey but people who say, "Clottey would have won had he not hurt himself..." That statement is inherently against Clottey I think. No one get upset.
I feel bad for Clottey as people are going to avoid him now as he is exposed as beign fast as hell and skilled, while being relatively unknown with no belts to bring to the table.

[Bookkeeper]

Those are some good points, injury is apart of the game although unfortunate. But to answer Sal's question it's no reason to believe that Margarito would have won that fight, and it's no reason to believe he would be able to compete with Miguel Cotto, PBF, or even a small Ricky Hatton

clottey

If it makes you feel any better I also voted CLottey.....






Hope this helps..

Margarito would have gotten a SD regardless whether Clottey had been hurt. Did you see those score cards??

[BrooklyniteQueen]

Those scorecard that was ridiculous was 119-109 for Margarito

[ArawakWarria]

I think Clottey would have definitely won, and what was said about fighting through an injury is all the difference in the fight. Clottey seemed to be asking his corner to stop at the end of two or more rounds.

Compare that to Lacy, who had to be asked by his trainer how his arm was doing... that is why I will give a guy like Lacy the benefit of the doubt.

Margarito needs some DRAGO steroids to get his slow ass going again!

10/10 100% so far said that clottey wouldve won

I'm glad Clottey kept fighting that 9th round is candidate for round of the year to me.

But apparently Clottey hurt his right hand too


But I voted Clottey

Margarito lost every round until Clottey got hurt. He remained totally open, remained slower than Clottey, and even remained less hard-hitting than Clottey after Clottey got hurt. I have no doubt Clottey would have won had he not gotten injured--probably by KO.

[OumaFan]

Impossible to say really, its not like its that unusual for Margarito to get better as a bout goes on, he's not the fastest starter, he just gradually comes on.

[ArawakWarria]

Did anyone else notice that all of the feature fighters from last night will be off for some extended time because of injuries

Margarito--wrist & cut
Clottey--fingers on both hands
Winky--cut
Quartey--retire!


imo, Quintana needs to take an extended rest from the whooping he took, and

COTTO emerges unscathed...

I would pay to see him against Floyd.

Arum wouldn't

there was only one ludacris scorecard, clottey only won maybe one round after he hurt his hand, and john stewart keeps it real and the third judge had it the same as him

[boozeboxer]

Sorry mate. I was refering to that even if Clottey won that it would be a SD. Not that he couldn't win on points.
