    Judah claims that he should have been ahead, the DQ stoppage kind of stopped the fight as it was heating up (or rather as Clottey was heating up), and some fans feel that this fight was close (not personally). Seeing as how Clottey couldn't get Margarito, Cintron or Williams to fight him, and Berto is not looking in his direction, how many people would like to see this rematch come off and see Clottey get the TKO that the fight was headed for?

    Should Clottey dump Arum? I mean this is really nothing short of terrible that one of the best WW's is being shelved for no reason.

    I really don't know where Clottey goes from here. I would love to see him in with the upper echelon welters but I just don't see any of them taking Clottey on in the next 6 months. Even if he changes promoters I don't see him getting any big fights. Arum tried to get him in with Cintron to no avail. Maybe if Judah wants to fight again that would be Clottey's best option at this point but I for one would not be excited to see a rematch.

    Judah is really in denial...I've recently watched that fight (3 days ago to be exact) and I remember Clottey finding his home with that right hand lead...Judah said that cut was caused by a cut...The replay clearly showed that a tight, well placed uppercut cause that cut to leak.

    Its kinda sad to see my guy Clottey being pushed back like this. You're right...I dont see who will he fight...I would love to see him fight Cotto, if Arum would let him!

    For a better career move, Clottey needs to leave Top Rank and sign with Golden Boy, Clottey is probably near or in his prime and Arum is ****ing him badly. Clottey is the guy that many dont want to fight because of the risk\reward ratio. Kinda feel sorry for him because I know he has the skill to become a Star or at least a household name!

    Clottey needs to do something!

    I dont wanna see this rematch. This is like cheating. Clottey coming in at 171 vs 147 lb Judah!

    Hell no. A rematch between the two would be pointless for both Zab and Clottey. Clottey is a defensive fighter that was just to big and I hear Zab may be fighting Quintana and the winner of that fight gets Berto, and Zab is also targeting Urango. Clottey won there first fight but Zab still gets more oppertunities for bigger and better things. Clottey is just a guy with a belt that's it.

    I know, but the fact that he has entered the ring that heavy, its a possibility that he can enter the ring that heavy again. And then what will the smart fans say when they announce the unofficial weights?

    "Awwww man, Clottey came in at 171 again, and against Judah. Judah is about to get f_cked up, I shoulda never bought this fight."

    No WW comes under 160 now and wins a fight.They all do it.Zab just doesn't belong there anymore.And it's not only the weight that beat him.He always find sa way to lose.

    A lot of people expected Clottey to easily win that fight..And when he came into the ring as a middleweight and Judah was barely even over the welter limit, its seemed like a foregone conclusion.

    But gotta give Zab props for that effort, he kept that fight pretty damn close until the end, catching Josh with some great left hands throughout the fight and outjabbing him for the most part. It was a better fight than most expected.
    I dont think Zab will chase a rematch with Clottey however because he knows where it was heading in the end..Clottey's size and skill was starting to take its toll, I think Zab would be foolish to go after a second dose of that.

    Clottey should pursue a fight with Berto, cuz Cotto will probably fight Mosley or Margarito again, and Berto needs a fight too....
