Floyd vs Clottey

[Juggernaut]

This is a guy who lost to Antonio Margarito, one of the champions with the most innacurate and erratic punches, not to mention SLOW. OK he broke his hand, but that does not justify getting hit. If Tony was hitting him, imagine what the most accurate puncher in the game Floyd would do. You haters are just ridiculous.

You're using logic when in sports there is no such thing. Just because Fighter A beat Fighter B and Fighter B beat Fighter C, then does that means Fighter A would beat Fighter C? I'm going to use the most overused statement in combat sports and that is "Styles Makes Fights." Also it's not like Clottey is going to prepare for Mayweather the same way he prepared for Margarito or Corales.

You can't use the exact physical state of a boxer from past fights and imagine him in the ring with PBF, because they won't be in that exact physical and mental state. It's like the difference of preparing for a spelling test and preparing for an SAT. Just because you didn't prepare well and did bad on the spelling test doesn't mean you're gonna ultimately do bad on the SATs (unless you're completely ******) as long as you prepare well enough.

I love Clottey but Floyd dominates this fight. I think the exact opposite of you guys. I think his style is made for Floyd. He doesnt punch that much and if your punching then he goes into a shell. Clottey's power is overrated on this board. He's strong but his power isnt that major because he doesnt throw straight punches and he slaps all the time. It took him forever to KO a Chico who was washed up, way too small for that division, and Clottey was like a Super Middleweight. On the other hand Floyd KO a prime Chico who was better then Clottey and did it quicker while Chico was 10x bigger then Floyd.

Clottey's D is good but its not great. Chico still hammered him a bunch of times and so did Margarito. He has a Winky D except the guard is more open and he has less experince. A sharp shooter like Floyd will penetrate that all day. If the other 2 guys can hit him a bunch then so can Floyd. Clottey also hasnt proven that he can be trusted. Down the stretch Floyd would dominate that fight. I think Floyd has some close rounds early but easily wins like 9-3 or 10-2. Also, dont forget that Floyd will probally be a full blown WW for the 1st time in his career. He should be filled in by now. He's still not going to be huge but he'll be very strong and solid at that weight

I know you can't do that. Oscar beat Mayorga, who beat Forrest, who beat Shane, but Shane beat Oscar, so I know it doesn't work that way. If I had said "because Tony beat Clottey, and Floyd would beat Tony, then Floyd beats Clottey" then you'd be right. But I said specifically WHY Floyd would beat him - Floyd is the most accurate puncher in the game, and Clottey got tagged by a very innacurate puncher, and lost the fight. So I'm not just going on names, I'm explaining why if he lost to one style he will be even more suceptible to another one.

Also it's not like Clottey is going to prepare for Mayweather the same way he prepared for Margarito or Corales.

Give me a break, all fighters train hard for every fight. In those two cases, they were the biggest fights of Clottey's career, so I bet he trained especially hard. If by "not going to prepare the same way" you mean that he will spar with faster opponents and concentrate more on being ready for Floyd's style, then you may have a point, but each fighter has a very specific style, and it is VERY difficult to make extreme changes to it from one fight to another. In order to beat Floyd, an EXTREME altering of style would be needed from Clottey, and a few months of training will NOT give him that.

Floyd by wide UD. It's just un ****ing believable everyone picks any opponent against floyd, Margarito, Hatton, DLH, Baldomir, Gatti, Judah, Corrales...the list goes on, Clottey is a good fighter and underrated too, but he would fighters that did'nt have defense and were very slow therefore he looked faster near them, Floyd is quicker both with his hands and feet, Floyd by UD, Clottey wins maximum 3 rounds.

everyone always picks the next man to beat the best until they get
beat and everyone remembers why he was the next man.

floyd is a way better boxer and faster quicker boxer than
clotty. i like clotty but he wont beat floyd

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Matches Floyd's power?? Clottey has WAAAY more power than Floyd, and packs a much bigger punch. I wouldnt be suprised if Clotty stops Floyd in that fight.

Clottey stops Floyd? LMAO.
Clottey couldn't stop Corrales. Floyd has better chin than Corrales. Floyd has infinitely better defense than Corrales.

Yeah...OK.


Here is the proper pick for any Mayweather fight: Floyd by decision.

Here is the proper pick for PBF-Hatton: Floyd by TKO 9.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

i wondered the same....i think clottey is faster and has if not more, matches flloyds power! !

Yes. Clottey is much faster than Floyd. OK.

[tito yuca]

Amazing how people can be SO GODDAMN ******

[Xcel]

Some of you all are really trippin. Clottey needs you to stay in front of him to be effective. Do you really think Floyd will stay put and let him fire off. Floyd takes this by TKO in 8

i like clottey's style of fighting. he is tough, he has a good chin, he is fast, and has good defense. he is underrated like no other fighter. he is a good fighter, no doubt. with this being noted, no disrespect to joshua, floyd beats him in dominating fashion. i'd be surprised if clottey own 1 round against floyd. clottey is good at what he does, but his style is bad for him when fighting floyd. floyd woul dtag him up all night. floyd by wide ud or even ko within 10 rounds.

and i agree with tito yuca and others. you guys try to find anybody to beat floyd. it looks and sounds possible to you people until the fight actually happens, then you wake up and come back to reality as usual. all you guys do is hate on mayweather jr. then you use words like gayweather and nuthugger in your posts, only further showing your hatred towards him as well as taking substance away from your arguments. so, keep up with the name calling, because it makes your points useless, because you're not making respectable arguments, just biased bull****.

then someone posts that you shouldn't judge a person's last performance to their future performance. this is true, but majority of you on here do just that in many of your posts.
