clottey aint going back to 147. But he could break top 5 of 154.
I think he beats angulo and he has a really good shot of beating trout. He can get his name in the mix again.
Clottey vs Brook @ 147 if Clottey can still make weight.. Clottey would take Jr to school.
This thread is retarded.
Clottey was never that special a fighter in his prime, but he's gonna school top welterweights now?
If u think kell brook would beat clottey...u dont know clottey...even though i dought he can make ww he is a very experienced fighter and he looked very sharp last time out...brook faught porter well clottey is a very technically sound fighter even out of the turtle guard
There you go again. Saying you saw the fight and then saying something contradictory to that claim right after.
How is anything I said not a fact? Is Clottey not 36 years old (just shy of 37)? Has he fought more than 4 times between 2010 and today?
Just because your interpretation of his win over a frankly sh! t fighter in Anthony Mundine means you think he could beat Kell Brook doesn't make anything I said less of a fact.
You saw the fight yet you don't see that Clottey is better now than he was before the Pacquiao loss.
Fighting Anthony Mundine and fighting Manny Pacquiao are two very different things. Additionally if he fought Brook he would have to come down to 147.
How many times have you seen fighters do that successfully in the latter stages of their career? Lalonde, Roy Jones, Chris Byrd, Dawson (against Ward), Cotto (against Pac), Morales after fighting Zaheer at lightweight and dropping back to super feather. It can only be detrimental to Clottey.
Kell Brook has had 10 years of not fighting anyone decent.
Difference is Clottey has fought 4 times in the last 4 years and is approaching 40 years old.
Clottey 5 years ago would have given Brook a terrific fight, no way in hell he does anything that close up shop in that shell defense today. Clottey was struggling to make weight 5 years ago, he is a very big Jr. Middleweight look at how dropping weight and making catchweights affects young, prime-ish fighters. How is that not going to affect a 37 year old Clottey even worse?
Do you not have eyes? Watch the fight. Pacquiao is the only guy the Clottey has lost to. He was beating Baldomir before the DQ and he was beating Margarito before he broke both this hands.
I saw the Mundine fight, Mundine was most successful at 168 what did you think was going to happen when he dropped to 154?!
He was knocked out by bloody Sven Ottke and Garth Wood! Mundine is also 39 years old. Your acting like Clottey had some world class win under his belt. Mundine has never at any point in his career been anything other than a fringe level opponent with an alphabet title.
God no he wouldn't. Clottey is 37 hasn't made welterweight in 4 years, has had 3 fights since he fought Pacquiao in 2010 and he was already a low volume fighter. Imagine a 37 year old Clottey trying to make 147 after essentially a 3 year layoff from fighting anyone decent. He would throw about 2 punches a round.
Clottey 5 years ago might have done well against Brook, but he gets easily beaten today.
Kell Brook has had 10 years of not fighting anyone decent.
Clottey would destroy Kell Brook.
