Even though they gave the gift decision to Cotto, I think Clottey poses a serious threat to any WW.

Are you serious? He's highly regarded and has lost his two biggest fights (Cotto and Margarito). More people scored it for Cotto than Clottey (I scored it for Clottey), so... I can't call the decision a gift.

He also has a loss to Baldomir.

His best win is Judah.

People regard him highly solely based on potential... it's hard to say he's underrated.

I've always felt bad for Cory Spinks. He doesn't have a crowd pleasing style, and it's tough to always be associated with your former HW Champ dad (who beat Ali), and ATG LHW uncle.

He is underrated due to his style9boring) but he is/was very good.

Funny enough now that he is past his nest he is entertaining and gets fans to like him.

Just loved how he made that StLouis crowd like him after coming back from a bad start with Latimore.

I remember the ridiculous crowd that turned out in St. Louis for the Judah fight. Not many guys in the sport were ever that loved in their home city where they could carry a high dollar gate like that. The Nelly rap to the ring was one of the best intros ever.

I agree, as a pure boxer, Spinks is very under rated

True, I actually enjoyed that fight. I liked Judah-Spinks II too.

He's always been a difficult to fight. No one becomes the best at welterweight without any talent or skill. And at higher weights, he represented himself well.

Yeah that ring entrance he had with Zab the second time wa OUTRAGEOUS.20k people singing and chanting for him while Nelly does a live 4-5 min rap.

About the higher weights I actually thought he could have gotten the decision with Taylor at MW in a fight he took on 2 months notice.
