He's already proven he's better than Margarito (when he has both of his hands, anyway).
I wouldn't go that far. First off, broken hands are part of the sport. And it was just the first 4 or so rounds and Margarito is a slow starter. Now I am big on Clottey, I like the guy a lot and predicted him to beat Marg but had he not broken his hands, he might have won but he wouldn't have run away with anything. Margarito is a very good fighter. I would like to see a rematch as it wasn't just close, it was a good action packed bout.
Maybe I went slightly too far. Still, I've never seen anything that's impressed me out of Margarito, or that's made me think he's "very good." Very slow, maybe. Very overrated in terms of power, for sure. And those first four rounds -- while they were just the first four rounds -- were not close. Clottey totally outclassed Margorito until he broke his hand.
