Joshua Clottey is undoubtedly the most OVERRATED boxer on these forums

[rj_ct]

i actually agree with the OP. i'm not sure where or when it started, but people on here hold clottey in a very high regard. i really don't know why. what specifically do you guys think clottey has that makes him an "avoided," "feared," or "underrated" fighter?

he's a good fighter and he's tough, but nothing more than that in my opinion.

Wow, I actually agree with Flawless.

Notice he said on this board, not to the general public. On this board Clottey lives off of his loss to Margarito. All I hear is "Oh Clottey was killing Margarito until he broke his hand." First, he bruised his pinky, second, even he didn't use it as an excuse.

I think Clottey can be very good, and I don't think it's his fault that he hasn't had the opportunity to prove that. But the fact of the matter is that he hasn't proved ****. His best win was over a shot Judah. Who else has he beat?

Again, not saying he can't beat the other WW's, I think he would give anyone trouble. But too many people on here are saying "Oh, I think Clottey's the best WW" when the only time we saw him against an elite WW he gassed and got beat.

Thank you.................................

He hurt his hand but he didn't break it.


* Clottey later admitted his hand was not broken as initially reported.

agreed he is not overrated. He is heavily OVERRATED

Hes HIGHLY UNDERRATED.... what the hell are you talking about

[MANGLER]

He retired and is already forgotten

Let's keep it that way

Flawless, I know you of all cats didn't just say that **** homey.

Hes HIGHLY UNDERRATED.... what the hell are you talking about

What has done that REALLY impressed you??

His amazing win over Judah
Or him showing his heart against Margarito

[Pullcounter]

that and hi s destruction of Corrales was cool too. I ain't saying I htink he is world beater, but he deserves hi shot. or atleast some activity and Arum is all to blame for that.

[THE REED]

just because he hasnt been able to get bigger fights with bigger names does not mean hes overrated

[Pullcounter]

He got it against Margaito and what did he do. Stopped throwing because of a sore tooth. A real hungry fighter would not have stopped throwing. You have fighters like Taylor would give it all just for a win

lets say he did fail big time against margarito... does that mean he should never get another chance???
