    Any thoughts on a good next step for Clottey? Anybody hear any news on him?

    I always thought Clottey was a Solid B+ fighter, and he's been horribly inactive lately and would like to see him get back in the mix instead of just waiting for paydays.

    Clottey vs Berto anyone?

    Whoever he fights, he better make sure to take an anti-diarrheal before fighting :lol:

    Who would want to fight Clottey? He has no fans meaning he brings in no money, and his style is hard to look great against even when you win.

    B+ is an understatement. dude's chin is ridiculous. i'm a pac fan, but he didn't show up for the pac fight. he was far too complacent. my little cousins birthday party had less smiles than the weigh in did.

    Maybe he could fight someone like Randall Bailey, who I'm sure would look at a Clottey fight a "chance" to get some more notoriety in the ring if he won.

    I actually think that could be an interesting eliminator :think.

    Before you even mentioned it I thought Berto-Clottey. Good fight. No way Bradley would risk going in there with Clottey, Clottey beats him.

    It's the truth. Clottey isn't an easy fight, and no one wants to watch him fight, so what is the gain? Sure he isn't a bad win to have on your resume, but you have to bring more to the table than that.

    I really, really hope he fights Berto next. That's an extremely winnable fight for him.

    I hope nothing...he is not very good, and IMO was only hyped up because he was a handpicked Pac opponent...he has never done anything significant except nearly beat a one-eyed cotto and complain about being robbed...i guess i will give him a bit of credit for the zab victory.

    He don't deserve a big(ish) fight after his last performance.
