CLOTTEY IS OVERRATED!
Seriously, what has he done? He went a few good rounds with Marg before he hurt his hand, so what??? He beat Corrales, I'll give him that but he was coming off back to back losses. What else? Zab Judah??? Give me a break. I'm not trying to say Clottey is a bad fighter or anything, but for some reason he seems to have an invincible aura around here that he has not yet earned.
Did have a fight on the cards with Kermin Cintron in which he was going to defend his IBF WW title, no Tv networks seemed to be interested, and then Cintron would take bigger money to move up and face interim WBC JR-M champion Sergio Gabriel Martinez.
Its a really shame on Clottey, is he a good fighter who's very underrated and is just not getting his chance.
He has a record of 38 fights 35 wins 1NC and 2 losess but, he really sole is loss is to Antonio Margarito-2006-12-02, in which he was dominating the first 4, until his hand broke. He is the current IBF WW champion, he is willing to fight anyone at WW, and is pretty excitng aswell and holds wins over fomer world champions and excting Tv fighters etc Diego Corrales, Zab Judah. But TV networks continue to show no interest.
Not right and such a shame. Hopefully Bob Arum and get him back on HBO, and get him to make some title defences and get a unifaction fight on with one of the other champions at WW.
I'm not sure if anybody right now can beat Clottey,But if I had 2 pick it would have to be Mosley,Cotto.
i'm convinced those are the only 2... and i wouldnt bet on either
Cotto could, Margo could again if he keeps the workrate, Shane could, he's good but not invinsible and since he's not as famous judges aren't more inclined in favoring him in scorecards.
yeah judges hate his guts... except shane, maybe cotto, marg wants no part even w/loaded gloves...
