Why Nobody Talking About Clottey?

He should step the **** up, ever since he lost to margarito he keeps fighting crappy competition against fighters who shouldn't even be in the same damn ring as him. He didn't even get his ass kicked by margarito, he just lost that fight. So, whats up with the step down like fights like these? Fighting a fighter who lost to the guy that was nearly ko'd by clottey... Wow, how impressive will it be if clottey ko's the journey man he fights tonight?

You have to understand clottey or most fighters don't choose their opponents. for you to say all that crap is rediculous and you need to get more informed. Arum sets up all his fights and has taken a couple big fights from him including a championship fight arum promised him and was the mandatory for but arum put clottey aside for cotto vs margarito. It's not clotteys fault at all.

No fanbase to speak of? I disagree with that. Stylistically, he's not the greatest but hardcore boxing fans recognize his skill and I think root for him. He's pretty well respected imo. Unfortunately, he was never on a reality television program.

Yep, no fanbase to speak of. I'm not dis*****g his obvious skills, but boxers would starve if they had to depend on hardcore fans. If Clottey wasn't with Arum he wouldn't even get on Versus and would be grasping for lower paying spots on ESPN or Telefutura. Getting a title shot this year would be a huge opportunity for him, even if it's against an unknown opponent.

Clottey doesn't help his situation by not attending fights or seeming interested in any other fight for that matter. When he's not in the ring, he disconnects from boxing.

Good point. Clottey should be making himself a presence at every important welterweight fight that he can get to. Is he living in Las Vegas now? If he is there is no excuse for not being at the big fights there.
