    Clottey cant even stay healthy man. He is like boxing's version of Deion Branch. Hands, shoulders, rotator cuffs bla bla......Clottey will not beat the elite ( Margo, PW, SSM ) clottey is just a sturdy solid guy with a good chin. but his offence isnt dynamic nor is he fully committed offensively to be a great. He is kind of a journey as far as styles and mentality.

      He actually did call out Clottey and Clottey wanted to do it but there was some conflict with HBO 'cause they didn't want to spend money on the fight.

        Shoulders and rotator cuffs? If Clottey is just a solid fighter with a good chin then what the **** is Margarito and Williams? He is a better inside fighter and more crafty than both of them. I think his low work rate is his only liability and he becomes too defensive.

          Clottey has the traits of a journeyman, PERIOD. good chin, good defense, who doesnt pull the trigger and like good journeymen, when he lose a fight, he almost won. Clottey will one day be a perfect gatekeeper/stepping stone.


          and i like the guy, just doesnt have the championship stuff on offence.

            and even at 154lbs he should be calling out forrest and get a shot at
            the WBC....williams is after margarito's left nut again
            I think you've been M.I.A.

            Clottey called out PWill. PWill responded. No one has heard from Clottey since.

              Clottey cant even stay healthy man. He is like boxing's version of Deion Branch. Hands, shoulders, rotator cuffs bla bla

              He has hand problems but many guys have before and many still do now.

                Plain and simple I just think people would wrather not fight clottey after the first 6 rounds performance against margo.. then that hand injury happened.

                I think people stay away from clottey until he gets old.. which is a shame.. and I don't remember Pwill calling him out.. maybe they did.. but i don't remember myself..

                  Williams was pissed because Clottey's manager simply said Clottey will fight him, and Berto proclaimed himself the best Welterweight. Williams said something along the lines that he would knock Clottey back to Ghana

                    That's an interesting question. Clottey has a title now and I've yet to hear his name mentioned in any fight.

                    Judah lost and he's already back to getting big fights. This business is ridiculous sometimes.

                      I don't really think anyone is ducking, money and promotion is the problem. A lot of people don't take that into account.
