    Mayweather vs. Clottey please.

    What's up boxing peeps, my first post here! Looking forward to debating, arguing, trolling, and talking boxing with ya'll. PEACE!

    So Floyd has 4 fights left and i'm hoping that Clottey gets a chance. Yup, Clottey. Yeah he's not marketable to the masses, (which I think is this boxing generation's lame excuse for not picking an opponent in addition to having losses), but I think he'd present a good challenge to Floyd.

    Clottey has a strong defence (as displayed with the fight with Pacquiao), decent boxing skills, well conditioned, solid punching power, and has a chin IMO (all of which were shown in his fights with Margarito and Cotto) that can withstand Floyd's power shots. Yes, I do realize that he lost to all 3 mentioned above but for me he lost to them, not to Floyd.

    Clottey vs. Margarito:
    Clottey vs. Cotto:

    Dang, can't post the links 'cause i'm a newbie here.

    What do you guys think?

    I wasn't even aware Clottey still fights.

    You should throw this fantasy in the Bin from here because if there was such a possibility of something having less than 0% of happening, this would be it.

        lol yes! Would love to see Clottey shell up and throw zero punches for 12 rounds while Floyd runs around the ring.

                That's one possibility of the how the fight might play out, but I was thinking that Clottey wouldn't be so concerned about Floyd's power shots and would open up more. But yeah, he does have that annoying tendency. I'm thinking any fight where Floyd is really challenged is an entertaining fight, and so far I haven't been entertained since Floyd fought against ODLH, Judah, and JLC.

                    Diarreah-free Clottey destroy Mayweather. /jk

                    Honestly, I would favor a close to prime Clottey to beat everyone in Mayweather's resume in recent years. Am I nuts?
