    That's all he does on his fb. Some guy had me :rofl:rofl the other week he was trashtalking him telling him he's a bum for being lazy against Cotto and only has himself to blame. Clottey takes it well though.

    I'm glad i added him :lol:

    Josh is a waster. He's a decent fighter but he never appears outwardly to REALLY want to win. He has good skills but he just gets lazy and complacent in there. It's not as if he's physically exhausted, its upstairs he has a serious problem getting over the finishing line.

    He will always find a way to lose, he shouldn't get any more chances unless he works his way up. I'd rather Shane fought Berto, so we can see what Berto is made of.

    He's what as known as a victim. He loves to make out he's the victim of injustice or bad luck. He's has his set way and isn't willing to change it and i haven't once seen Joshua say after the Cotto fight that he will step up his work rate. He just blames everyone else. His Fb status are over dramatic. But i do like seeing what he has to say he is entertaining i give him that.

    Personally, I think it would be a good fight (I am a fan of both), although its not exactly the money spinner fight that Mosley is looking at or the high profile opponent he is seeking though is it? Clottey will have to get himself into mandatory positions for the big fights, he is a high risk, low reward fighter.

    Clottey and Mosley is a decent fight.

    It should be left here because Mosley was identified by Sky Sports as a potential future opponent for Amir Khan :deal

    Shane would slap him around like a ***** (a la Margarito).

    Clottey is too slow and rigid to do anything about it.

    Shane needs to fight though before he's too old, why's he taking so long to make a fight??

    It's just a payday, after Cotto beat him using one eye and constantly switching southpaw - he's not exactly great value.

    Given how awkward he is, no-one of Shane's calibre will take take a huge risk for little money. Clottey needed to win v Cotto and he twatted around - he will need to win two or three fights and work his way back up to warrant a fight with Mosley/Cotto/Pacquiao again.

    I can see Margarito being his next big opportunity to shine when the drug cheat gets back from his ban, and similarly needs a big fight.
