    I'm referring to Clottey plenty fights. He's an F'ing mental midget. No mental midget will beat Floyd.
    Say we got the clottey that fought Margo corrales cotto and Judah still think its a walk in the park

      Yes because in the bold is where the mentally weak Clottey comes in.

        You can move your arms to cover up and stop a jab to the body

          The coo fight was a close fight that coulda went either way and the Margo fight was close and tbh I don't rember to much except for him looking pretty good in the fight but still losing but I was like 14 or sum when I watched it
          But th best parts of those fights you don't think would make any problems

            I dont think Clottey is a "mental midget". Hes just lazy and naturally defensive. I dunno, I think he could give Mayweather a decent fight but it'd be painful to watch.

              Size and strength don't matter here. Clottey does not have the boxing skill or intelligence to compete with Floyd. In the first couple of rounds he might be more agressive than he was in the Pac fight, but after getting caught hard with counters and not being able to catch Floyd at all he'd go right back into that shell. Incredibly boring fight, incredibly easy UD win for Floyd.

                I think y'all are looking at clotteys weakest points I'm looking at the best parts of him and seeing if he that would cause a problem for Floyd I guess that what I'm trying to ask

                  this but i think floyd would find some subtle adjustments to make that would ensure he won the rounds.


                  i think he'd double up on the jab and time him with right hands if he tried to counter

                  he'd have him needing to take a dump again.


                  clottey's chin and size and style would obviously keep him from getting badly hurt

                  ortiz is a big guy
                  josh clottey is huge. about as big as a WW can get in terms of his physical strength and his muscles.
                  but he's not a big puncher


                  floyd wouldnt have any problems with him

                    Clottey doesn't use much lateral movements. He wouldn't have enough time to react and try to block it since his high guard would prevent him to not have clear vision. It's not that easy to time Floyd's jab to the body, and it works fluidly better against orthodox boxers. Eventually, Clottey would open up his guard.

                      When does clottey really box he just kinda comes out and goes back in a shell it's not always easy to. Counter untimed stuff
