Margarito fought Clottey as a voluntary title defence. He did not HAVE to fight him and even in winning,didn't gain anything,so no,I don't think there will be a Tony v Clottey 2. And Margarito went INTO the fight with a sprained ankle and fractured wrist,hence the arm punches(Tony never throws that many arm punches usually). Tony still won,that's all that matters.
Clottey is a good fighter but a step below elite in my opinion.He has ALOT of skill but he has too many weaknesses to be elite such as poor stamina,slapping punches,can be outworked etc. A good fighter nontheless.
Williams and Collazo turned down fights with him. Williams was a business decision,what would he gain from beating Clottey?Collazo on the other hand,I believe ducked Clottey. There was a purse bid for the fight,Clottey's side didn't turn up,then in an interview over at boxing talk,Collazo said there was nothing to gain in fighting lClottey but then called out Golden Johnson(WTF?!)
So,NO,I don't think he's the "most feared ww" in any way,shape or form.
