I'm not sold on Clottey.

He was a good fighter.A little too stationary and predictable, didn't transition from offense and defense all that fluidly, didn't have the best stamina, but he was a tough nights work for guys that fought in the pocket with him.Could counter fairly well and threw some really crisp, sharp combinations.
And yes, I also thought he beat Cotto (as did many others at the time).His performance against Pacquiao was an embarrassment and did a lot to damage his reputation.Prior to that he was generally respected as a good, top ten contender in the division.Comment

Clottey was sold as a slick elite black fighter. I still can't believe that the fight actually got made, regardless of them both being Top Rank.Comment

The best things Clottey did was beat Judah coming off several big fight losses, beat Corrales when Corrales was done, and gave Cotto/Margarito tough fights. He was a solid fighter, a good Top 10 win for Manny.
But some would have you believe Clottey was some beast, simply because he's the last time Pacquiao fought a Top 10 opponent at 147.
The same people who say Clottey is a beast, are crapping on Guerrero as a Floyd opponent.Comment
