    Andreas Kotelnik uses it, though he's under rated offensively.

    Clottely uses the style well, but its his "character flaws" which cost him fights.

    Forgot about him. Nice one
     
  4. Option 3: Clottey ate some bad banku (goat) stew before the match and had diarrhea

    Ricky Burns used it against Katsidis when he was on the ropes if I remember correctly. Was very effective because he has long arms and it covered his body too.

    I agree completely.

    Gotta' love big George, but he got incredibly lucky.

    good point
    Pac-Clottley is a strange fight, but Clottley always seems to mess up big fights.

    Have you read Atlas's autobiography? In it he states that a lot of trainers refused to work with Moorer because he made it a point of doing exactly the opposite of what the trainer wanted, and look how that turned out. I knew from the Holyfield-Moorer fight, that Moorer was not going to be anything special at hw.

    Khan made great use of it in his fight vs Kotelnik.

    Tho Wright was well past his best days I think even a peak Winky would struggle big time with Williams. Any doubters just watch the Soliman fight. Soliman a volume puncher not nearly half as good as Williams a stylistic nightmare for Wright.

    I think Clottey is great. He's a very quick counter puncher with decent pop. His flaw is his competitiveness. He just doesn't really seem to care that much.

    The first 6 sounds of Margarito-Clottey are classic IMO.

    Lara uses it at times.
