If the fight is made I am going with Clottey. Eventually the judges are gonna have to stop giving Canelo those gift decisions

Depending upon which Clottey shows up, possible cherry-pick gone bad situation.

But probably not, imo.

If he has a peak performance left in him, Clottey may be competitive, but failing that, Canelo gets the better of him fairly easily.

More than likely Clottey shows up, shells up and collects the paycheck.

I wouldn't want to ppv that...

If that applies to everyone it should apply to you also.

How in the hell does it apply to me? I should of changed it to nuthugger/fanatics then. I don't approve of any of their milking ways. Them fighting now is what I want.

Edison Reynoso, manager of Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs), confirms that former champion Joshua Clottey (38-4, 22KOs) is the current frontrunner for his boxer's next fight, which may take place on December 6th at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Reynoso says there could be a conflict with the date, so nothing is set in stone and it could move to another location and a date in late November. Clottey is coming off a dominating decision victory over former champion Anthony Mundine.

Of course he is. As usual, Alvarez is going to fight a former champion who is waaaaaaaay past his prime, is washed up and who has already been beaten by current champions he is supposedly going to face in the future. First Baldomir, then Mosley and now Clottey. I guess these fights give Alvarez confidence by beating has-beens worse than Mayweather and Cotto did when they beat these opponents beat when they were in their prime. Following the Clottey fight, Alvarez will likely engage in a life and death struggle with Chop Chop Corley or Zab Judah. Who knows? Alvarez may next move up to 160 and try to coax Marvin Hagler or Tommy Hearns out of retirement.

Clottey has not been relevant since what 5 years ago? And this is a good fight? I don't get it but ok. Why not just fight a cab driver from Mexico for a tune up?

Fighting faded former champions who pose little threat to you is the new version of the Mexican cab driver.

War Canelo!!

Thought Lara was gonna destroy him though?

[Showtime..]

I'll bet my bank, profile pic AND my Forever-Bute sig that Clottey would beat Canelo (also considering Clottey would get robbed, it would be a hallow win for me).

This all if the fight gets made.

[STEELHEAD]

He wanted an opponent who would come to fight... yet he is considering Joshua Grand Shell Clottey? I truly don't get it.

Kirkland is the logical choice. If he is as good as he says he is, he will be able to counter Kirkland coming in and get an impressive stoppage.

he wants an opponent that has no power to hurt him.
