Well-didn't Clottey just have a loss????? As for others-they weren't far removed from serious beatings and fought with difference and less confidence.Marquee names do not equate to prime ability...
Clottey will not be a tough fight-it is an easy fight.EASY fight. You are correct-Clottey is NOT a walk in the park-because you can break a sweat with walking-this will be an easy fight.

with your logic anyone that loses is past prime. look at everyone pac has fought he has dominated all of them except for marquez, does that make them all bums and past prime.its still an accomplishment that he can move from featherweight and dominate.

they were prime. pac beats fighters so bad that fans like you claim they are shot when they are not. cotto looked good for the first 5 rounds, he wasn't shot. hatton looked good against malignaggi and considering what paulie has done recently you have to say hatton was prime. pac is just offensively minded and ferocious, he will make a lot of good fighters look worse than they are.

What fight were you watching???? Cotto looked decent in round 1-after that he had gotten knocked down a few times. I thought he was more effective boxing than fighting,but still not winning when he was!
C'mon-don't use Paulie "feather-duster fists" Malignaggi as someone who equates to a prime Hatton.Hatton's era ended after he got ktfo against Floyd- Hatton looked like a turd in the fight after that against an older Lazcano!

i disagree with you i think they were prime. pacs always given the worst beatings of fighters careers but it does not equate them being past prime. look at the career worst beatings by pac. barrera,morales,hatton,oscar,cotto. just give credit to pac style, they were not all past prime. he moved up 2-3 weights which made them even more impressive.

[damned1974]

those fights went ahead though. pac just reached welter hardly enough time to face everyone, but i honestly believe he would have faced mosley after cotto if floyd never returned with his drama. pac said he would face margarito after marg beat cotto, everyone thought he was insane. roach said they were willing to fight williams at 147.

How the hell is Manny going to fight Williams, Margarito (both over 6 foot tall)etc-if he won't fight Yuri Foreman (half an inch taller than Oscar at 5 foot 11) because of his height???????? Come on man,start making sense.

It is no so much that Clottey lost, its that he lost to a guy that Manny just dominated. What is there to prove fighting Clottey? Why settle for a fight against a B level welterweight?

Gosh-don't list those fighters as a legitimate source of top,prime fighters again-I'll piss myself! I'm serious man-Oscar,Morales,Cotto-in their primes???? I'm gone!

i said they wern't all past prime. morales and oscar were but the rest were not.

[boxingfan76]

It don`t matter cause Oscar was still weight drained.They should have let Oscar come in at 150 and the Roid user could come in at what ever weight he wants.

screw the weight drain oscar was 10 years past his prime, theres no way pac woulda done shiaaat to a prime oscar not shiaaat!!!

So your saying the Oscar Floyd SD with was 9 years past his prime too? Just making sure your consistant.
