    Clottey has never been caught cheating. Had Margo not got caught cheating then I'd say him based on his style more-so than the belts he's won.

    Clearly Clottey.

    Should and would have beaten both Margo and Cotto, but for injury and **** tactics respectively.

    Margarito already tapped that ass which answers the question as directly as can be.

    Margarito.

    Clottey will always be limited by his stamina and ring IQ in tough times. Clottey might have all the tools but they aren't much help if he can't apply them for 12 rounds. Margarito can do a lot with his limited tools. Margarito beat Clottey and destroyed Cotto, on that grounds it is difficult to make a case for Clottey.

    Margo maybe Cotto NOT NEVER!! Hellz No!! Cotto will win in a rematch easier. Don't overlook the cut above Cotto's eyebrow. There's one thing Clottey is missing and that is the killer instinct Cotto and Margo both have it. I scored Clottey Margo 6-6 and Clottey Cotto 6-6 with Cotto winning due to the knockdown. Before you start thinking I am either fighters fan my Favorite boxer is RJJ I do respect Cotto and Clottey very much, don't care to much for Margo.

    you can make an argument about their technical skills, but overall as a fighter, clottey just doesn't have that "umph" that drives a fighter over the edge.....

    and you fools that say clottey was whooping margo easy need to go back and watch the fight, it was 2-2 after four and then the body punching started taking it's course on clottey's body and he decided to shell up.....

    and why do you guys keep saying he broke his hand, clottey said in his next fight that he just had a sore ****en knuckle BOO HOOO, "i'm a boxer with sore knuckles cry me a ****en river"....STFU with that ****, margo sprained his wrist, showed it after the fight and if you guys remember, he went into that fight with his leg hurt :deal

    Your crazy, clottey was dominating Margrito the first 4 rounds. And it would of continueed if the hand didn't break. Try fighting with a broke hand, you ain't gonna be scoring anything from the pain.
