So, where are all the people that repeatedly said more clinching wouldn't have helped

    Back when Cotto/Margarito was still fresh a lot of us Cotto fans mentioned that had Cotto held more often as opposed to simply going in and out he may have done better. We also brought this up when talks of a rematch came about.

    Even Margarito himself specifically mentioned tonight that Mosley's ability to get him in the clinch and keep him there after landing his own blows made a MAJOR difference.

    Mosley and Cotto are vastly different fights. With Nazim in Mosley's corner, there was no question about Mosley having the proper strategy.

    My point is people were knocking clinching as a strategy against Margarito.
