    I see he hasn't fought since his fight with Manny.

    He has a rep for being boring but personally I enjoy watching him fight, he's a good technician as is a world level boxer.

    I enjoyed watching him box. Became underrated after the Pacquiao bout, should have bounced back really.

    Underrated how? Everyone knows what Clottey has accomplished (three career W's over Judah, Corrales, Shamone Alvarez, the close L's to Cotto and Margarito, plus the bogus late DQ to Baldomir).

    He was the #5-6 ranked welter going into the Pac fight.

    He's 34 years old.

    18 months inactive.

    Riding a two fight losing streak.

    Threw less than 200 punches against Pac.

    Based on that, I would have to say we never see him ranked or in a meaningful fight ever again.

    Same ****, he was moving up to 154 and was preparing for a fight but fell down and broke his ankle and he's not been heard of since.

    He has been hidden after that fixed fight for Arum. As long as he is signed to Rot Stank? No Clottey.

    Arum doesn't want him interviewed and asked questions. He knows that as a fighter, eventually Clottey's ego will get the better of him and he will say Manny is a simple chump.

    Look up some of Clottey's interviews in Ghana post fight. He is almost sick with remorse for what he did. A man truly beaten doesn't have those sorts of demons, unless he is nuts like Toney. Clottey isn't nuts. He is however $3 million dollars richer.
