I wont say he is breaking down. But he is getting very close to retirement. Not only he is an excellent boxer, but he is also an example to follow. From homeless in NYC to World champion. That is enough to respect the man. He is an excellent family man too. But he is 34y/o. Finito retired at that age. Boxers don't last too long at small weights. Ivan is small even for 105lbs. The only reason he is fighting at 108 and even considering 112 is to make as much money as possible before retiring. Even if that cost him his "0".
Claderon is a great skillful boxer, like you guys said. If he was a bigger man, like a welterweight or something, he would've been a great f*cking fighter and fighting elite fighters. Too bad for him that he was small and didn't have the chance to really shine.
great fighter and a class act, I sat in front of him at cotto vs. clottey. He must've signed autographs and took pictures for like 20 minutes straight while the main event was going on and didnt complain at all. But I agree he is starting to show wear.
