Margarito was lucky Clottey broke his hand in the fourth round and pac was lucky clottey had diarrhea. A healthy destroys both.
:lol1::lol1:
I forgot he said that!
Mundine's own estimation of his talents may greatly exceed his actual abilities but Mundine is still a pretty good fighter, probably top 20 junior middleweight at present. So Clottey's performance was certainly a win that pushes him quite close to another title fight. I was surprised just how sharp Clottey was, he looked as good as he ever was and he was always a world class fighter. Clottey's stock unfortunately dropped because of how easily Pacquiao defeated him, everyone blaming his motivation rather than that Pacquiao's style was all wrong for him.
Some of these comments are way over the top. Clottey beat mundine FFS. Then half of you wanna put him with canelo, or floyd? Seems like any1 wins a fight at 154 the immediate response is " he should fight canelo or floyd "
Just settle it down a touch. Clottey even said himself he'd want a couple more fights to see how he went b4 even mentioning bigger names. By beating mundine doesn't prove anything just yet. Clottey has been in the ring with top dogs b4 and knows what it takes. If mundine had of been a challenge, power, footwork, speed and clottey still won then he could go 4 big names but he knew himself mundine wasn't anywhere near the level the big boys r at. That's how he controlled the fight so well.
Mundine couldn't answer him back with anything. No power what so ever, no footwork, terrible defence (trying to shoulder roll)
Mundine is terrible once a bit of pressure is applied. Even Garth Wood applied pressure and got a ko after a handful of pro fights.
That's my 2 cents worth anyway!
this is why floyd ducked clottey. clottey knows how to destroy the shoulder roll. you won't see floyd at 152/154 anymore now that clottey is back.

i don't. certainly not now without another series of wins. all he did was beat up tony mundine. it's not like he's done anything else since sticking his head in the sand against manny pacquiao.
I agree with you as i never said he should get a shot right up next. Its that this was not a bad start towards that direction and if he gets another one or two good wins id like to seem him in title contention at 154lbs.
Solid win for Clottey. I wanna see him in title contention at 154.

Clottey walked through dude like nothing.....suprised he didn't catch an assault charge for giving Mundine the business like that.....Clottey looked like Kirkland in there lol.....maybe they should fight next :boxing:
I don't like Mundine but he was showing weight drained symptoms in there....but at this point I'll take a Clottey win anyway I can get it (pause)
Mundine is done. I guess the weight drop just killed him at nearly 40, because while he's never had a great chin, he's never had a bad chin either, and he's taken much bigger shots than basically all the ones Clottey dropped him with. It was very surprising. I'm still amazed that he's even trying to get down to the weight. Makes no sense, and very time he's done it he's looked weak, slow and very vulnerable.
Anyway, whatever.
Clottey is back finally. Maybe we'll see him take/get some big fights at 154 and even go for a title. He's still got something left. Let's just hope this time his weight makes for better fights instead of just shelling up and conserving energy.
Floyd will never fight clottey. Floyd is too scared to fight Joshua. Cotto, PAC, marg fought clottey. Lil miss Floyd will never ever fight the cajones to fight clottey. Never. Ever.
