Clottey says he's weight drained at 147

[BillyBoxing]

Joshua "the excuses granmaster" Clottey.

I broke my hands,
I get robbed,
I'm ducked,
I don't want to fight Williams at 154 it's too much to gain in 7 weeks but I did trouble to make 147 all my career???

Clottey is already making excuses,what a looser.

He's going to get koed and then say Manny is on peds and he was drained.I BET.

[Rickety Cricket]

so move up then

[AssasinKing]

De La Hoya - First time making 147 in almost 8 years vs. Pacquiao
Hatton - Balloons to 200 pounds in between fights
Cotto - Had to weigh in at 145 pounds to defend his WW/147 pound title
Clottey - Blames his low KO percentage on struggling to make 147

De La Hoya - (fair enough, way past it, since 10 years ago)
Hatton - Ballons up to 200 pounds yet was undefeated for his whole career, and was still undefeated at light welterweight when he faught pac
Cotto - Weighs in at 146 for 3-4 of all his last fights (even once i think 145 and 3/4), now he has 3 months to lose 1 pound of his body fat (and he does have body fat) and hes weight drained? fk off lol
Clottey - Hard fighter, never been KO'd, solid chin, gave cotto a hard time (still lost in my opinion) but again, another HUGE welterweight

Stop picking and choosing what you say and what you dont say

Would the fight have been made so quick if Clottey was not with Top Rank and/or not about to receive the biggest pay day? He and no one else doing the negotiations care about weight problem at that point.

What weight problem though, if he was struggling to make weight then he would have moved up long ago, he didn't because he isn't weight drained. He only ever fought at 154 once.
You don't consistently fight below your weight class for years without moving up.
How many times have you heard him complaining about struggling to make 147 before, my guess would be none

Its a bit like cotto calling himself weight drained at 147, makes no sense whatsoever

Nope makes no sense, but he would have taken the fight regardless of the supposedly weight problem...

[DE100]

Well good luck to him lol

[flexxx145]

LOL Clottey is an idiot! Too late to make excuses now! Nobody forced you to stay at WW. Take your beating like a man!

[SusieQ.]

he says making weight is the toughest part about bein a boxer. he really struggles to reach 147 that is true..

[AddiX]

Makes sense, I believe what hes saying, but it's his choice to stay at Welter. Maybe he makes a move up after the Pac fight.

I think most fans in general underestimate how hard it is to make weight. These guys are clinically anorexic for days before the fight.

[Jim Jeffries]

So on the one hand, he'll be a little weight drained

but on the other hand, he'll be fookin massive.

Though it's usually better to wait till after the fight to start with the excuses.
