I've yet to read of anyone other than Margarito (and now Gamo, I guess) actually claiming that Margarito won. The fight was close (sort of; I had it 116-112, which seems to be the most common score out there among boxing journalists), but the result was not controversial. This was not like Hatton-Collazo where there was actually a dispute as to the result and it seemed as if the challenger perhaps should not have become the champ.

I said before this fight that Margarito ought to give Clottey a rematch. I think that fight is far more ripe and deserving of a rematch than this one. Many people, me included, think Clottey would have won if he hadn't injured his hands.

And Gamo, come on--the MAB/Pac comparison is inapt. MAB/Pac I was years ago, and MAB beat Morales and Juarez in between. If Margarito goes and beats Cintron or Cotto and a couple years down the road comes looking for a rematch with Williams, then by all means he should get it. But not now--in a division with this much talent I have no interest in seeing an immediate rematch. Immediate rematches are only worthwhile where (a) the first fight was very good (i.e., worth watching again), AND (b) one of the following: (i) there are no other good fights to be made at the weight class (see, e.g., R. Marquez v. I. Vasquez II), (ii) the result was controversial (see, e.g., Mayweather v. Castillo II or Taylor v. Hopkins II; this also should have happened for Hatton/Collazo), or (iii) the fight could have gone the other way but was changed due to some freak headbutt or injury, etc. (arguably R. Marquez v. I. Vasquez, Pac v. EM II, Clottey v. Margarito).
