Joshua Clottey, former WBA Welterweight champion has announced that his next opponent is American 'Sugar' Shane Mosley, the current WBA Welterweight Super Champion, in November.
According to Clottey, all is set for the November showdown.
“I have started serious training and promise to become a world champion again,” he said in plain words at the offices of the Minister of Youth and Sports, Hon Abdul Rashid Pelpuo, yesterday.
Clottey mounts the ring against the Pomona - California boxer, after bowing to Miguel Cotto in America, a few months ago.
SSM was #4 behind Marg, Pwill, and Cotto at the time of his fight wit Marg I think. Pwill didn't have nothin to do wit it cuz it couldn't have been for the Ring belt anyway.
What I meant to say was that Cotto vs Margarito wasn't for the ring belt because Williams had a win over Margz. Also when Cotto lost to Margarito I am sure they dropped him a notch on the list. It was.
1. Margarito.
2. Williams.
3. Mosley
4. Cotto.
5. Clottey
WW bis fukked up. Everyone has a win over some1 else. Last time it was P Will who held things up since he had a win over Margarito, but usually is a fighter is fighting schedualed for a fight they make it linear. Only reason the linear strap wasn't awarded during Cotto Margarito, and Mosley Margarito was because Paul was waiting around. We will see. I hope they make it for the linear strap though since Cotto Won't be able to fight until spring 2010.
Yea, it is annoying. I'm pretty confident that the lineal title won't be on the line.
BUT, I honestly feel like if Cotto beats Pac, he'll fight Mosley again before he fights Floyd. Arum is just gonna fukk up a fight with Floyd with any of his fighters. So hopefully we get WW sorted by next spring.
I'm down for a bet. It definitely won't be. Not when the #2 WW has a win over #1, and more importantly, is in the biggest fight of the year. They won't do that, it would have made more sense to make Margo/Mosley, but that didn't make sense either.
If P Will wasn't around they probably would have. But you are right. It probably will not be for the ring belt, unless Cotto loses to pacquiao beforehand of course.

Nah it won't. For the same reason it wasn't for Mosley/Margo....Cotto has a head to head win over Mosley.

I'm willing to bet you it will. Mosley is part of GoldenBoy who owns Ring. Also if Mosley for some reason is #4 P4P for one victory after not being there and Cotto dropped 2 spots, I think so.
Number 1 WW against number 3. Linear title will probably be on the line.
Anyways it is the best fight that can happen at MW now.
They wouldn't make it for the Ring belt cuz Cotto got a win on SSM and is ranked #2. That's why I want SSM-Cotto 2, but fukk it. While Pac-Cotto is goin down, SSM-Clottey is fire. I hope this is true.

I don't think Clottey ever held the WBA welterweight belt, so I'm more inclined to assume that it's fake.
He had the IBF belt and he said he promised to be a world champ again....
I really hope this is true.
Interestin. SSM was screamin bout Pac at 140 a few days ago. I wanna see what he got to say about this. If it's goin down, sweet. Berto woulda been easier for him, but I'd rather see Clottey get anotha title shot.
