I also agree that he is more of a volumne puncher than a power puncher, but he does still have above average power. I am no rabid Margarito fan, not at all. But the man was coming off of a 10 month lay off, and before that went less than a round in the ring, he had ring rust, he faced a very good fighter who had just beaten Duran's boy Guitterez, and was beating Baldomir till he got DQ'd. Give Margarito some damn credit, its easy to say crap like Clottey would have beaten him if not for the finger, but I don't think its true.
Agree to disagree about what would have happened had Clottey not been injured, but CC for this post.
