    Best for Clottey after November/December Tuneup?

    Those of you who forgot about Joshua Clottey - Don't! He recently twittered that he's fighting a tune up fight as close as November or December and that he's possibly going for the Cotto-Margarito winner in what appears to be a great rematch at 154. Whilst he succumbed to a UD loss to Margarito (not sure if he had loaded gloves there or what, probably not) some would say that he won the Cotto fight. It'll make for an interesting fight I think - Clottey has also expressed interest in Martinez (who I actually think he would beat at 154) and Saul Alvarez in which he twittered in respect of the latter, "if Golden Boy allow it". I think Clottey takes out Saul Alvarez quite easily to be honest.

    So - what's best for Clottey at this point after his Tuneup fight? Although the Cotto-Margarito winner looks good, I think Clottey needs to fight someone good to deserve that fight. The only other possible candidate that I've got is Shane Mosley.

        Asides from the Pacquiao fight, he's still very much game I think. He hasn't really taken a good beating yet and his loss to Pacquiao doesn't really question his abilities but rather his heart. I think he's learnt now to throw.

            As pathetic as he was vs Pacquiao he should get another chance.

                  I'd like to see him and Canelo fight actually. It'd be a big step up for Canelo, and I believe it's a winnable fight for Clottey.

                    Cotto, Mosley, or possibly Alvarez would be a good move for Clottey (I don't see either of them, except for Mosley, facing him though).

                    Clottey would be a tough fight for pretty much any opponent at 154 and 160, but he doesn't bring enough to the table for them to face him. The only HBO or Showtime figther that I could see him facing is Paul Williams and P-Will would dominate him.
