Clottey lost to former linear WW champion Carlos Tata Baldomir the same guy who Floyd shut out to win the linear WW title. Which puts a rest to all hater BS that Mayweather has never fought a real WW. But now all of sudden him fighting Pac is the biggest thing since Ali/Frazier. I swear these haters will try to push anything of on the public to discredit Floyd Money Mayweather.
Anybody who is not disappointed by Pacs refusal to accept random drug testing & make the biggest fight in history but will praise this guy for fighting a guy like Joshua Clottey is not a fan of boxing. They are a fan or a hater of a certain boxer. And it is fans like these that are ruining the sport.
Clottey is good, but the pacman fans are making him out to be a superstar
so when there idol beats him they can swallow up that win and say it was great
No one is making him out to be this 'superstar'. However, they are saying he's a top 5 in the WW division. Which is completely true.
Seriously, stop exaggerating.

i guess mayweather is not elite either cause they fight the same type of opponents.
You'd be lying if you said Mayweather didn't fight a prime Corrales or Judah.
That shit is so sad it isn't even funny.
Why are you even saying that win for Baldomir was even the least bit credible? Clottey was dominating him the whole fight. Clottey was, and still is the better fighter over Carlos, no question. Shit, so you think Montell Griffins win over Roy Jones was an achievement? Get fvcking real...
Clottey's not a crap fighter but he is not an elite either. He may have fought notable people, but he didn't win against them either.
His best wins are against a Corrales whom his best days were well behind him, and a Judah who's been on the decline.
That's why he is average.

More power to you then bro. I would just like to know what's average about him?

About a year or two ago I saw Baldomir get his ass handed to him by a bum in Solo Boxeo. The commentators were even laughing calling him an embarrasment
mayweather beat him up so badly he's now shot! that's why he lost 3 in a row after losing to floyd. well 1 was a majority decision win over a journeyman but he robbed him.
it's almost as if him being the lineal champ was a combination of sheer luck and judah being terrible. oh look judah loses all his fights against decent fighters and baldomir can't win a fight to save his life against anyone else. surprise!
I did. I believe that the DQ was uncalled for. Clottey would have won the fight but to say that it was 1 sided is not true.
You're right. It was two sided and one of the sides was clearly losing.
can you say lineal WW champion and undefeated in 10 years when he fought Floyd?
No, but you can say unbeaten in 8 years with two draws and a dubious DQ win.
Baldomir got sonned and won by DQ.
Have you ever watched Baldo-Clottey?
Clottey handled his ass.
The loss was disputed and had nothing to do with Baldomir being the better fighter.
I was gunna post that, pretty much word for word. :lol1:
