      I think he has decent power but his lack of volume limits him a bit. He IS huge for a welter, I mean the dude is built like a tank. His speed is very underrated as has been stated and I think he does not use his legs too much when he punches. He throws waist and arm punches using mainly his upper body to derive power. If he set on his punches and got his weight in behind him, he would be a KO monster. Sacrifices power for speed...very underrated guy overall I think.

        My reasoning for this is that his speed is underrated. His hands are very very fast. And he's also a very sharp puncher. He's caught people with big time punches that were sharp and fast. Punches that you don't see coming, and he still can't really hurt guys.

        His speed is incredibly underrated. As far as I'm concerned, he's got faster hands than the current version of Shane Mosley.
        Very little power my ass, watch the Margarito fight. He was hitting Margarito with some HUGE shots. Anyone else would have KTFO.

            Decent puncher, he can hurt you, but he doesn't seem to be a really strong finisher.

              say what you want about clottey but i think he beats every1 in the division except mayweather..

              I thought he eeked out a 1 point decision win over cotto..
              Nobody gives this guy a chance, and every1 is quick to ride him off.. all the Ls on his record have ?? all over them.. i dunno what happened in the marg fight, after the 5th something happened.. he was killing margarito. im not ****riding. i just feel that every1 just rides in off like hes a gate keeper. hes a good solid fighter

                He's a great defensive fighter that lacks that extra push to put out the best fighters.

                  I say he has some power. When he fought Corrales, he let his hands go more and showed some power. That version of Clottey would give Pac some trouble.
