Poll to come.
He gets a C from me because hes average. He has no heart, no balls, no drive, and most of all hes scared to get hit which is what loses all his fights because he can have a fight in reach and bitch up and let it slip.
He has great technique. The only WW that is more technically sound today is Mayweather. He does almost everything beautifully, but only lacks intangibles.
A level skills, D level intangibles. Asstonishing how great he could be, but I consider him to be a B+ level fighter because of his stupidity, and lack of wanting to win.
You are too hard on Clottey.
He's a B level fighter right now. C level fighters are guys like Nate Campbell and Paulie. Clottey lacks the determination to be great in the sport of boxing. He would be a way better boxer if he had the drive to be one of the greats in his division because it seems like he's ok with being the fighter he is today.
damn but Campbell beat the man at 135 Clottey hasnt beat anyone
What is Clottey biggest win??
A lost to Cotto, lost to Pacquiao, lost to Margarito, lost to Bladomir, or a win vs Judah?
Exactly.
His best win is vs. a shot Judah and a shot Corralles at a weight he didnt belong at yet somehow hes a great fighter because he was ranked Top 5 at WW.
Yet many other times the rankings are called bullshit...lol. Shits funny.
No, P-Will is a stylistaclly nightmare for Clottey
He can do every thing right just lacks intangibles like you mentioned.... Is funny people want to call him a shit fighter now.
But, if Floyd would of Clottey before Pac did. They would of big him up like they did with Ndou, Mitchell, Judah, Baldomir... Is just ridiculous the nuthugging and hating that goes on these boards.

Josh is a good fghter but he doesn't do anything in the late rounds. Rounds 1-9 he is b/b+ fighter but the late rounds he seems to be a c-/d fighter that struggles.
LOL Burner.
Clottey covered up like an Armadillo in that Pac fight the whole time, what do you expect?
lmao.....
Thats the thing though he was afraid of feeling Pacs power. He felt in his body and idnt want to take them to the face.
So he has to go all out because he has got a decent chin? While he knows he can't knock out his opponents?
No you go all out when you are getting your ass beat. You dont just stand there scared to open up without throwing punches.
Look at Paulie he cant crack worht shit and he brought it to Khan as much as he could before being TKO'd. Thats the difference Paulie has Grapefruits in his pants and Clottey has M&M's.
Clottey may lack elite power. But he has a pretty god chin.
That wasnt cracked by punchers like Pacquiao, Cotto, Judah and Margario.
So he has to go all out because he has got a decent chin? While he knows he can't knock out his opponents?
scared to get hit?
yet your favorite fighter is floyd who said there's nothing cool about getting hit.
what do you give floyd, dirrell, or ward? all fighters who literally run & hug in order not to get hit.
at least clottey doesnt run or clinch in order not to get hit. he blocks punches like a real man.
Yeah because blocking punches for a whole 12 round against Pacquiao without a real attempt to throw punches sounds like Mayweather yeah? He was so determined to prove Roach's comment about Pacquiao knocking him out that he went into turtle mode for 12 rounds without even trying to win the fight. So it's cool to get hit all of a sudden? Yeah I'm sure boxers like getting their face smashed in. It's obvious your a casual boxing fan.
Don't know. Abraham has the power Clottey hasn't, if he goes all out and attack he will get knocked out. So i understand his way of fighting

Nope..........
AA attacks when he needs to. When AA realized he wasnt leaving Detroit the winner unless he KO'd Dirrell he attacked him.
He didnt stand there and cover up like a bitch with the fight in the balance.
Dont compare that Coward Clottey to a mans man like Abe.

Is ARthur Abraham scared to get hit too then?

I guess you skipped the part when I said when a fight is held in the balance and is up for grabs due to Clottey being scared of getting hit he LOSES the fight.
Now how in Gods name does that compare to Mayweather? This thread is not about Floyd lets leave him out of one thread if possible.
