    :lol: ...seriously, any word on his next fight? Just crickets.

    Absolutely. He's getting old, too.

    I think after that disgrace against PAC arum blackmailed and said you're never getting another fight to clottey
    I would do same!!! Clottey doesn't deserve to be in ring again.

    How about Andrey Kotelnik after schooling Alexander??

    How about Yuriy Romanov??? Undefeated prospect??

    Nazim Richardson's Son Rock Allen looked a real hot prospect, still undefeated but no action since 2009, ( i gather a car accident contributed to the disappearance ? )

    Clottey took his Pacman money and bought a big compound in Africa where he probably has about 10 wives.

    I heard a rumor with Clottey (again don't know how much of this is true)


    But day of the Pac bout or right before the bout, he demanded more money to step in the ring, from what he was guaranteed, or he would claim injury and walk off.


    Arum, and his team obliged him but he realized that it was a bad move in the end and gave Pac a half hearted performance so Pac saves face, and is still Golden Child.

    But the damage had been done, and TR was mad. Clottey went back home to a slue of issues family problems and such with brother and dad. (What has kept him from boxing some more.)

    Came back, finally, got a fight as undercard, and claimed to be trying to work himself up for a title shot.
    Again just what I heard.

    The thing is that on Wiki it says he has confirmed retirement but according to Sports newspapers and publications in Ghana is he actively training to preparing himself to work his way up the ABC belt rankings in to a title shot. They even publish pictures of him working out and training out there. With his trainer (the one who could not get a Visa to come and training him for the Pac fight)

    Why would you think that???
    He put on a great fight!! Exciting!! I'd think they want to bring him back.

    Maybe don king. But not tv networks.

    Kotelnik retired after being frozen out by Don King.

    Romanov is no longer undefeated, he lost in his comeback:

    I read he was considered as Willie Nelson's opponent next week, but LDB was not so hot on it.

    He'll never fight again, google it. His injuries were severe, though not as bad as PWill. But he seems to be taking it not as well.
