Comments Thread For: Canelo Doesn't Consider Clottey Fight To Be 'Easy'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – Boxing fans aren’t exactly excited about the Canelo Alvarez-Joshua Clottey fight.

Alvarez still doesn’t consider their Dec. 6 meeting at Alamodome in San Antonio anything resembling a soft touch. He considers Clottey’s unanimous-decision defeat of Australia’s Anthony Mundine (46-6, 27 KOs) on April 9 near Mundine’s hometown as evidence Clottey (38-4, 22 KOs), who’ll turn 37 on Oct. 6, still can compete at a high level.

This is a good opponent. Never been Ko'd, strong resume. (Trout, Mayweather, Angulo, Lara, Clottey, Cotto likely next). Not his biggest fan but must give props where it's due, he's getting it in...

[parrish duke]

So basically he will not be matched tough in the begining to protect their investment. .. My beloved sport is so falling off...

****ty fight, there is no reason why he shouldn't be fighting Andrade.

[TommyToughNuts]

yeah way to sell the fight you fake Mexican

He did just fight the top 2 fighters in the division in 2 of his last 3 fights (Mayweather & Lara).

A stay busy fight before he takes on Cotto a couple of months later and on 'free' HBO. I don't see why people are crying and moaning about this.

Trout, Mayweather, Angulo, Lara, next year Cotto.

I want the people that are crying about this to post a fighter that has recently made a run like the one Canelo is making.

You're my boy, but you ain't fooling no one. Clottey brings nothing to the table to trouble you. You will pick him apart with counter combos for as long as the fight lasts.

****ty ass fight as far as competitiveness goes.

It will be cool to watch Canelo unload his offensive arsenal on the punching bag, Clottey.

I agree with you Death Adder...Who else has made a run like that recently...solid fight.

Even Carl Froch had a Yusuf Mack mixed in with all the good fights. People need to chill, no fighter can fight a great opponent every time out. If Alvarez takes another disappointing fight after Clottey, then people should start voicing frustration.
