    Personally really glad, loved his style. Was disappointing v Pacman but was a true world class fighter, hasn't took much punishment so could be a force at 154.

    Dude has a horrible style. Hiding behind his gloves all fight.

    I used to like Clottey...but it's been a few years and he's 36 I think? I'm hoping he can do it but I doubt it...

    You're only saying his style 'horrible' because he turtled in one fight. His is an effective and thoroughly watchable style. I hugely look forward to seeing more from him!

    Yeah he only had that negative style in one fight againts the drug abuser pac man. I think clottey could of won that fight but let his own head beat him to be honest.

    Id love to one day see Rabchenko v Clottey would be a war!

    People forget that alot of people thought Clottey beat a Peak Miguel Cotto,

    He's a gate keeper at best!

    September he's looking at a return under a new promoter. Nice to see top rank dumped him after milking him vs Pacquiao. His style means he might be able to box a little older than most at the weight as his reflexes aren't massively needed.

    He stunk the house out against the drug cheat, but he deserves another chance, and like you say his style is good that he can fight on as he ages

    A lot will depend on what hes been doing between the pacman stinker and now

    Hes gonna make another run, and hopefully he does not get bull**** decisions this time around. He is the man and should do well. Who is he fighting?

    Wtf are you talking about? Its called defense, and Joshua is a master at it. He also has a hell of a left hook that he frequently doubles/triples up on. Nobody wants any of that.
