He ain't got any really big wins, but he's got the skills to threaten any WW. If he had a higher workrate/more stamina he'd really be lethal. I wanna see him face SSM. I'd pick Shane but give Clottey a good chance.
I don't really understand why he fights this way either. The guy loves to run..like 7 plus miles per day but in the ring, he seems to tire out. This is his only weakness- speed, defense, and combination punching are all excellent. He could beat any WW but he seems to come up short. Definitely one of the most skilled!!
Clottey is the unsung champ at 147,outside of the Punisher,Clottey has the talent to beat Cotto or Mosley and definately beat Berto!!!I've got Clottey beating Cotto in june,because I think he is tougher,has a better jab,better defense!!If Clottey worked on being a little more offensive,he would own 147,hands down!!!
He is solid fighter with decent pop and a high guard, no outstanding weaknesses or strengths. I would call him well-rounded. The only problem is when he puts his hands up tight like that Cotto is gonna sweep a left hook just behind his elbow.
hes a solid fighter,nothing spectacular about him and i dont find him great 2 watch either but he would give anyone in the division a tough night although i think cotto will win a UD
He is good, well rounded, I think Cotto is a better all around fighter. But Clottey isn't far behind, he needs a fight so he can show people what he can do.
he's a good fighter, no one can tek his pounches
Like I said earlier, he is a solid welterweight. I think he is good enough to give all the top welterweights trouble, but I don't think he will necessarily beat all of them.
Clottey best win past his prime and losing streak Zub Judah
So we really dont know how good he is...well i dont.
In all actually his best win is a lost to margarito.
so we will find out june 13th how good clottey really is..
No one paid, Zabby just got beat up again. How much did Zabby pay when he low blowed the shit out of Mayweather?
joshua clottey is good enough to had given antonio margarito a very tough fight and force zab judah to run back to junior welter weight division and good enough to raise hell against shane mosley or paul williams in the ring:boxing:
Clottey is a solid welter. Not sure if he's great because he hasn't gotten any big shots yet. However, he's good defensively and a good body puncher as well.
and thats what gives him a good chance against any welterweight out there

i agree, clottey deserves a big fight already.
Ask him how much he paid the judges and doctor to get the Judah W.

I think he's got potential, but he's living off of like 4 competitive rounds with Margarito.
His style will make anyone look nowhere near as good as they are with that high guard. I just think he needs to get his workrate up. With these top welters, if you don't throw you will lose rounds. Guys like Williams,Cotto,Tony, and Shane, if you let them dictate the pace of the fight you're in trouble.
He's got a bunch of tools, he's just gotta put it all together IMO.
