    I have to agree. Clottey could have found a way to win that fight. To me, it almost looked like that fight was fixed. Clottey could not miss Margarito and then all of a sudden he basically stopped working. Fighters break their hands all the time. But it's rare to see a guy go into a shell the way Clottey did that night.

      You guys are quickly becoming my best friends lol, Clottey is so overrated in my opinion, he lost against Tony and against Baldomir, green or not, and his biggest win was against a blown up Diego Corrales

        Yeah Clottey is a little over-rated, but it seems like anyone who is decent and has trouble getting fight is over-rated these days. Like if someone turns down a fight with a top 10 contender that automatically counts as a win over the guy who turned down the fight.

        Both Clottey and Collazo need to show something. Whoever wins that fight is still viable at 147, but it's time to stop just calling 147 the best division and to start weeding out the pretenders from the real contenders. Cintron is down. The loser of Clottey-Collazo will be down. Then we'll see what happens from there. As much as I love Zab if he can't beat Mosley then he's more of a second tier contender than a true challenger for the real crown.

          I still think Cintron is a top contender while i view Collazo and Clottey as lower tier Contenders although i think Collazo is a bit underrated. I say Clottey is overrated cuz u got people who think he cud beat damn Oscar De La Hoya

            None of them have beaten anybody. Even Cintron, who has he beaten who's in the top 10? And is the top 10 at 147 really as strong as people say it is? You have a lot of fighters who are pretty good, but only a handful of them have good resumes. I think it's fair to say the loser of Clottey-Collazo is outside or that Cintron really needs to show something very soon. He's gotten BLOWNOUT by Margarito twice now. And his best win is probably against David Estrada or Hicklet Lau. That's very close to Henry Bruseles territory.
