He actually had a chance against Cotto, and he didn't have to move up a division. why should he move up to 154 and take an ass whoopin' if he isn't even going to be well paid?
But he got lesser money fighting Cotto. In which means 650k would be Clottey highest payday in his career. <<<<<<So how is not well paid? 650k? Judah took 150k vs Spinks rematch and look what happen in that fight.
All I can say is that if I were handling Clottey I would not let him take another loss right now, and at 154 a loss is damn near inevitable.
I don't think it would be a very good fight at all, Clottey likes to cover up, rather than countering. So Williams would be punching on him all night
Wasn't Clottey going to fight Quintana at 154 on the same night? Clottey has been calling out Williams and now he has his chance. Unless he's trying to make a few more bucks by playing hard to get he needs to sign for this fight now.
