But Clottey is a good fighter in his own right and should have a victory over Baldomir and possibly Margarito. But Clottey is a bit of a front runner while Margarito is a slow starter.

But to get back to the original question, if he can get back in the big fight scene, we should expect a lot from Clottey. Very versatile. An imposing fighter with quick hands and a tight defense, he can let rip with lead left hooks top to bottom. Or he can fall behind his guard and play the role of selective counter puncher. Not the best of fighters from the outside and doesn't have the best of jabs and doesn't really have 1 punch power but he's a boxer who will give anyone troubles.
CC #167 amat. I think I tend toward hyperbole when criticizing Margarito -- I overcompensate a bit in the face of so many people buying into Bob Arum's bogeyman narrative.

I definitely agree on Clottey too, and he should get a match-making boost once he KOs Chico next week.
