It boggles my mind that EVERY other fighter who claims a hand injury it's just seen as an excuse, Collazo against Mosely, Cintron against Felciano, Kessler against Calzaghe etc but such is the hatred for Margarito that when a guy claims to have hurt his hand against him then it means that Tony was for certain going to lose that fight.

Clottey is a front runner, he started well but when Margarito turned up the heat he wilted.

And FYI Margarito had an ACTUAL REAL injury documented BEFORE the fight.

But he took the fight anyway and beat Clottey's a**.
You know, you might be right about Clottey in that regard... Front Runner. Maybe.
Iv heard he comes down from some riddiculous weight like 175 or somethng (any truth in that ) maybe its a stamina thing that saw him fade a tad.

Im waffalling on but its because i really like Clottey as a fighter but i just know im overratting him some how...

I think you might just have an sly answer there. I mean, do we really know if he fucked up his hand in the Margarito fight?

~EDITED~

Anyway, back on subject. Im not a Margarito fan and i dont find him particularly pleasing to watch but his merits are evident. Antonio Margarito is clearly a top 5 WW
