Clottey vs Alvarez, I can smell it already.

[LeadUppercut]

By Mike Coppinger - Former welterweight champion Joshua Clottey has been incognito ever since his uninspiring effort against Manny Pacquiao in March 2010.

Rumors of his prolonged hiatus from the squared-circle ranged from being content with his hefty purse from the “Pacman” bout to not having the desire to train any longer.

For the first time since his loss to Pacquiao, Clottey spoke at length, breaking his silence of over 16 months, stating “I just wasn’t ready to answer questions before.”

Clottey, who was schedule to return in March versus Calvin Green before pulling out with a wrist injury, maintains he simply was taking some time off, waiting for the right fight to come along.

“I can fight at any time,” Clottey exclaimed. “My lawyer has been talking to Top Rank about me getting back in the ring, because you see I’m sick and tired of people calling me asking me, ‘When are you going to fight, when are you not going to fight?’ My fans worry about me, when I’m going to return to the ring… and I’m going to return to the ring.” [Click Here To Read More]

" uninspiring effort " ?

That was gentle.

LMAO at Bob Arum, wringing the life out of his " investments "

I couldnt care less if I never saw Clottey fight again.

it was one fight.

he was a force in the ww division before pac, just in case you didn't know.

i for one am looking forward to his return

the crowd won the fight for Cotto. Its a shame that Clottey has been defined by 1 fight. Even then Pacman landed very few clean shots. Pacman only won on work rate and we all know what he is on..

It's not only about the Pacquiao fight, Clottey's will to win is weak, watch the Cotto and Margarito fights, those fights were his for the taking.

what's so funny?

he gave the top ww a tough match at a time the ww was possibly the deepest division.

people are too fixated with the ***** he pulled in the pac fight.

For one he was never a force in the WW division, I do admit that he was a solid win for Pacquiao, I said this right after Manny defeated him, even though stylistically Clottey never matched up well with Pacquiao. My thing is, it wasn't only one fight like most are saying, watch the Cotto and Margarito fight.

be that as it may, he can still shake up the jr. middleweight. he'd still give the top guys a tough match imo

He has the skill set to make serious noise at 154, but like always I expect him to fall short, this coming from someone who used to be a fan of Clottey

I don't get why you laugh at the thought of him being a force at welterweight if you think he has the skillset to do good at 154.

He had a close match with Marg, an EXTREMELY close match with Cotto and he put a whoopin on Zab Judah. Seemed like a serious contender to me.
