That's kinda what prompted me to make this thread, I figure the only "big" fight I could imagine him possibly getting would be against Berto. I don't think any other top name would fight him. Maybe Paul Williams would.

oh ok well if anybody deserves a Warm Up fight it is Clottey, his last 3 fights was against: Judah, Cotto and Pacman

Berto by robbery just like against Collazo. Clottey would win in the fans eyes but Berto would steal it.

Clottey has what it takes to win, just needs to be a little more offensive, but he has a habit of slacking off in the latter rounds and has a low punch output. I don't think Berto can really hurt Clottey but he could steal rounds with a flurry of punches in certain rounds.

Either way Berto needs to prove himself against real 147 contenders not people moving up from 140 and Clottey would be a good test.

So you're right Bully... Bscene is a good place for hardcore boxing fans to decide who won.

Berto might actually win, Clottey will fight a close fight. He might be too reclusive in the late rounds as almost always, and we know Berto can fight hard in the late rounds. Clottey has the tools, but he will probably lose a close decision.

If he can learn from his mistakes against Margarito and Cotto, he might be able to pull out a win, but I don't see it happening. I bet Berto will get busted up physically though

Nah...

It doesn't matter.

Clottey lost the fight, close but clearly.

As I was LOOKING for a way to say Clottey won..

But he didn't.

He lost.

And that's the end of it.

Berto and Clottey get in that ring.

Clottey loses.

You can analyze it all you want, and say this guy beat that guy.. or this guy had close fights but LOST THEM ALL and so on and so forth.

It won't matter.

Clottey loses.

No way in hell did Clottey lose clearly. that's like saying Berto beat Collazo clearly. Its a matter of opinion, but thats what it is, an opinion. You can agree or disagree with mine. I think Clottey beat Cotto and would favor him over Berto, since the Cotto of 2009 was an elite fighter.

I'll take the guy who has had razor thin decision losses over elites before I take the guy who has unispiring wins over washed up lgithweights and razor thin wins over gatekeepers.
