I would give anything right now to see Floyd fight Clottey. I think that would be such a awesome fight. Floyd vs Cotto or Margarito are good fights in terms of the names but the fight itself would probably be very boring as they are so big that Floyd would be moving alot and I dont see the other guys landing alot of clean shots on Floyd. Clottey is a big strong WW but unlike some of the others, he doesnt overpower you with the strength so I dont think Floyd would mind that fight as much. He also doesnt have extreme power.
I always say that I would love to see Floyd go down to 140 to fight guys like Holt & Torres because you could see him use his full Offense instead of being on his heels like he has to be at WW. Against Clottey I think you could see alot of that despite his size, since Clottey is not big or strong enough to overpower him like a Margarito or Cotto might could. I could see both guys throwing a ton of punches in that fight with such a high level of skill. It would be awesome to see these guys throw there skillful shots on there opponents skillful Defense. Thats my personal best fight in boxing in terms of skill, great offense, and great defense.
Let me also say that I am praying for Pac to beat Oscar. I think that would bring Floyd back for a big money fight with Pac. Then I could see Floyd going for Mosley, then Clottey, and maybe Berto if he's good by then. Then if Floyd has gained some weight by time those fights are finished and the years he's been at WW, I then think you could see a fight with a guy like Margarito. Let me ask 2 questions. How much credit would you give Floyd for beating Pac & Clottey or Pac & Mosley or Pac, Mosley, and Clottey? The 2nd question is who do you think would win between Floyd & Clottey? I love Clottey also and I just think there styles matchup so well together for a great skillful fight
a better fight would be amir khan vs mike tyson
but floyd ( as much as a hate the cunt ) would win by UD due to the simple fact that his boxing skills are far superior to clotteys clumbsy style. Hes got his straight right going for him, but thats about all.
You dont think clottey would over power mayweather? Of course he would. It would be another boring fight with mayweathers punch hold tactics or as some people like to call it "his boxing masterpiece". What other option does PBFM have against Clottey? toe to toe? nah
nah, I dont see that. Clottey is big & strong but he's still 90% a boxer and mostly a counter puncher. Its not like a Cotto or Margarito who just have alot of brute strength and put alot of physical pressure on you. He also has a good punch but not a devestating punch so I dont see Floyd being so defensive against him. I think he would definatly spend a good amount of time going toe to toe with Clottey and even when he boxes, he will be right there most of the time. He wouldnt move like he would against a Margarito or Cotto. I also dont feel you on the holding stuff. He doesnt hold that much, if it all
Clottey is very good, but Floyd is great. I don't see how Clotteey could deal with Floyd's speed, defense, condition and smartness.
The fight that I want to see is Mijares v.s. Montiel or Donaire.
According to the poll results, Floyd would coast to a majority decision.
I'm guessing Clottey would make it a closer fight than that, since he can box pretty good, and would have an incentive to prove he belongs in the top ten, but covers up a lot waiting for his opponent to stop firing shots so he can get a few in of his own.
Floyd would keep him busy all night. :boxing:
3 fights I'd pay for
1) Margarito vs. Floyd
2) Margarito vs. DeLa Hoya
3) Margarito vs Williams
we just need floyd to come back and fight some of the people he hasn't in the WW division its that simple the only problem is that Floyd has been spoilt by these big money paydays and in his mind he is the greatest ever so why fight for only 8million when he can make 20million its just said cause there is so many people that would make for great fights with floyd
i also wouldn't mind seeing
Floyd vs Mayorga if he beats mosley i think it would be an interesting fight

I just love watching Clottey fight. I love his style so much and I would also like to see Floyd fight someone where his strength & size isnt a "huge" deal and he's a righty. Floyd fought a guy like Zab but he still couldnt show everything because its harder against a Southpaw. If he fought Mosley or Clottey though then I think those would be super fights where Floyd could show his Offense but would also be facing some super strong skilled fihgters
I'd pay to see Wladimir-Haye, but only after Haye fought a few other heavyweights like Fres Oquendo or John Ruiz to really measure what he's about as a heavyweight.
