Margarito v Clottey confirmed for December 2.

[shza]

just to be dropped again, all of the following would beat Judah

Collazo
Quintana
Margarito
Cotto
Hatton

Definitely disagree on Hatton. But the main point here is that Clottey isn't on that list. And that's who Margarito's fighting. Clottey's a step up for Margarito, but he's not that great. He looked like shit in his last fight.

You just say that because you dislike Hatton's style I respect your opion and Clottey did not look good at all but when has Zab ever looked good? Spinks 2 and........Pineda?Tszyu?Spinks1?Mayweather? Fact is he has had many shots at the big time and failed.

Haha. CC Gamo. True that I dislike Hatton's style. But-- I also think that, while Zab has some trouble with come-forward brawlers, as you point out, Hatton has serious trouble with slick, skilled boxers, especially southpaws (see, e.g., Collazo). So I don't know--maybe they'd both just look terrible and it would end in a movie-style double kayo (a result I wouldn't mind seeing). But I'd give Zab the edge if he was at all focused. He's way too fast for Hatton (not that it helped him against the even slower Baldomir). Anyway, I'm no fan of Zab and am not here to defend him. True that he's been given more chances than most and failed more than half the time. He actually did look pretty good against Mayweather though, which most fighters don't.

I just want to see Margarito vs. Williams. I will concede that I think Clottey could be the tougher opponent (Williams too green, not enough defense), but I think Margarito-Williams would be a total burner definitely ending in a KO, and would do more to amp up Margarito's rep.
