    that's an incorrect statement. you can push even if you know it's not available. what does it hurt?

    anyways he's lucky he got that fight. uncle bob preferred foreman i think.

      Am happy for him that he got the fight but its not a coincidence that he pulled out of his fight, Am sure Arum pulled him out knowing they were not ready to pair Pacquiao/Mayweather together.

        don't know about that.

        when did he pull out?

        before or after schaeffer refused to go to dallas? i'm big on the dallas conspiracy.

        either way , i doubt arum pulled him out specifically for that.

        arum didn't want clottey initially. he wanted foreman. clottey came about because pacquiao didn't want to fight foreman and/or at 154.

        maybe clottey's manager did in hope/just in case.

          who was CLottey to fight before the Pac fight was proposed?

            Yeah that is a good point tbh....i was wondering also why Team pac did not accept the 14 day window deal...i was dissapointed by this because i wanted to see pac fight and i was hoping beat floyd jr..anyways Green K for you.

              Neither guy ducked. They both made outlandish demands. Each guy had a right to tell the other to fuck off. PBF needed Pac more than vice versa, so he gave in. Pac didn't need him, so he told him to go screw.

                i know he was suppose to fight quintana on the williams-pavlik undercard but when that got cancelled so did clottey-quintana.

                i don't know who clottey was gonna fight after that though.

                    i don't think that's what ray is talking about though is it?

                    clottey-quintana got cancelled because when pavlik pulled out (pavlik was top rank) top rank had no date on hbo.

                    martinez and williams are not top rank fighters. that's why clottey's fight got cancelled.
