Why was Clottey ever considered a top ww??he never beat anyone

you probably never seen his fight against Cotto if you think Cotto ran a train on him. He didn't. Neither did Margo.

I think too many people just look at boxrec and then talk ****.

 

I spent my lunch break today watching him dismantle Castillo, and he beat Cotto and didn't get the nod.

 

When he beat Cotto he was the top WW after Floyd.

 

I thought Clottey was fortunate to get the nod over Judah, and he was soundly beaten by Cotto IMO, Margarito broke his hand did he not ??

I never liked the way Clottey wouldnt engage an opponent enough to get the job done, he could of battered Cotto and Judah but just chose to tuck up and throw the odd back hand whilst walking forward, frustrating fighter to watch Clottey because he was a monster of a WW, if he just upped his output by 20-30% he would of been a real hand full, it was like there was an unwillingness to ever actually get into a good tear up

 

I have a little bit of news for you

He never beat Cotto

 

you right, I'm a little preoccupied right now man my bad :rofl

 

he didnt beat cotto close fight he didnt throw enough and the knockdown cost him

 

Everyone who watched the fight knows that Clottey beat the dog **** off of Cotto and Cotto got the win because ARum wanted to setup a Cotto/Manny fight.

 

Clottey was actually working Margarito over through five rounds, before injuring his hand punching one of Margarito's brick loaded gloves.

 

What a typical shitty answer

Cotto boxed his fight off the back foot and quite frankly Clottey just didnt do enough, Cotto = cleaner effective punching the whole fight and could of himself forced a stoppage in 6 or was it 8 ?? cant remember, but i remember Clottey being overwhelmed and very nearly being halted
