    After Saturday's Fight...

    After Cotto vs Clottey it made it clear that Clottey deserves more big fights... he was neglected for ages and finally got his chance and gave Cotto a very hard fight... I hope Top Rank don't push him to one side again and leave him in the shadow.

    Seriously, Clottey is easily one of the hungriest guys in the sport right now... the guy deserves more big fights... and I think it should be a sure thing for Arum to take his time out to make them for him instead of neglecting him.

    Do you guys think he deserves more big fights and do you think he is one of the hungriest guy out there?

      Yeah, the guy has skills... doesn't deserve to be an outcast his whole career, Arum would be ****** not to give him some good fights... he is a skilled fighter and could earn him a lot of money.

      I hope we see Clottey vs Williams as well, I would like to see Cotto vs Clottey 2 but it looks like he is going after Pacquiao... which nobody can blame him for cause it would be the biggest payday of his career.

        Yeah he does. I felt bad for him coming not gettting the nod. I thought he won the fight and so did the Cotto fans watching the fight with me. I hope he fight Paul Williams. A fight with Quintana wouldn't be bad either.

          I personally thought that Clottey did enough to earn a draw if not the win but with the location and date situation severely favoring Cotto, he should have pressed for all 12 rds to be sure.

          Clotte is beast as I said to those who weren't familiar with him prior to the Cotto fight. I hope he gets all the big fights he wants in the future, he is a stand up guy as well.

            Yeah... I knew he was a good fighter but didn't see enough of him to say anything, after Saturday I have become a fan of both fighters for sure. I will probably add them to my favorite fighters list in my sig soon.

            Oh yeah did anybody see the post fight press conference when someone asked Cotto who was next and said "we want to see more fights!" and he said "Yeah well I need a little bit of rest first!" and everyone laughed.

            I have never seen a joking side of Cotto before so it came across as a shock.

                Yes, Clottey definately deserves big fights.

                Paul Williams WILL accept his challange. I dont know why Clottey wants to lose so badly though. I understand being hungry and wanting fights but a definately loss is just crazy. You earn respect but you dont get where you want to be for losing. PWill is basically an elite speed Margarito.... how can you win?

                    At least he will get the respect of wanting to fight everyone, like DLH did...
