    Yeah, he's a bit of a wuss. He wanted to quit because he kept mentioning it to his trainer but his team wouldn't let him so he had no choice. He's similar to Judah in many ways including being a frontrunner and gassing down the stretch plus doesn't like high paced pressure.

    Clottey was fighting Corrales a little over 3 months later and couldn't even stop him weighing near 170.

      I didn't know it was a bruised knuckle, yeah you can definitely punch it off. Not sure what happened, but Margarito won, and it's on to Zab.

        Clottey was fighting Corrales a little more over 3 months later and couldn't even stop him weighing near 170.
        The Doctor asked him if he wanted to quit and he shook his head no. Anyone taking twelve rounds with Margarito toe to toe is by no means a wuss.

          Clottey is not a wuss at all. It's just that a lot of people thought that he would've beat if not stopped Tony if his hand was alright. Clottey is dirty though. I'll probably cheer for Clottey still.

            Yeah he tried to head butt the **** out of Margarito, he reminds me of Holyfield coming in with his head.

              He wouldn't stop him if Tony just stood there all night and chances are his hands would go first. 17 of Clottey's 20 stoppages were against the worst opponents you could imagine. I'm talking about guys who never fought a pro match before or have terrible losing records.

                lol I just noticed that, it doesn't look to good on him. Margarito felt those punches though, you can tell because he smiles and shakes his head up and down at you.

                  Santos and Clottey and Williams built up quite a reputation by fighting Tony. I guess everybody who goes rounds with Tony does.

                    We will see how that fight goes if Clottey beats Judah. This is another bout that needs to happen to end speculation.

                      Hey if you look at the location, many of those guys are out of Ghana. There are probably better guys there, but he probably fought them to get his career started.
