What the HELL was Clottey doing?

I don't believe Clottey was gonna get Cotto. He was gunnin for Cintron before, then after the Alvarez fight it became official he was IBF mandatory. Any talk of Clottey v Cotto never made it to serious negotiation.

Double post

He was saying that to keep Clottey happy. No way he was going to give Cotto that tough a fight to tune up for Margarito. It's not like Gomez was a last minute replacement. :biggthump

What are you talking about Arum was talking about Cotto/Clottey ever since November 11th. He was saying that to keep Clottey happy. No way he was going to give Cotto that tough a fight to tune up for Margarito. It's not like Gomez was a last minute replacement.

laaaaaaank?

That is pure fiction. Gomez was handpicked by Arum for Cotto and Clottey was never even a consideration. Cintron wanted no part of Clottey and chose to fight Margarito instead. What are you talking about Arum was talking about Cotto/Clottey ever since November 11th.

He was SUPPOSED to be fighting Cotto in late March but he choses to face Cintron instead. Tehn, when he is interviewed BEFORE the April 12th bout he says he would rather face Cotto? WTF? Gomez would have never been in the picture if this was the case. That is pure fiction. Gomez was handpicked by Arum for Cotto and Clottey was never even a consideration.
