i wanna see more of this guy. Seems like a good fighter. thoughts? I know he lost to Marg after he hurt his hand but i never saw the fight. Rematch warranted? Fighting through injury is a necessary quality imo
He's highly talented. I thought he was dominating Marg until he hurt his hand and that's when the fight changed completely. But before that, he was giving Marg a boxing lesson.
Clottey has good speed, decent power, and a respectable defense. He fights very well out of the African high guard. Clottey is a good puncher, not great. His physical strength is more impressive than his power. Had he stayed injury free against Margarito, the WBO belt would have been his. Overall, I think he's a legitimate top 10 welterweight who could beat some big names. I definitely wouldn't pick him over Mayweather or Cotto though.
I agree, this guy is a good, exciting fighter to watch and I would like to see more of him. He does have good skills, the only knock I would give him is his stamina issues. He tends to go on the defensive during the second half of his fights while fighting impressively during the first half. It's hard to believe this guy has stamina problems considering he used to run 12 miles a day. If he can correct his stamina problem, I could see him being a Champion at Welterweight. He was very impressive during the first 4 rounds in the Margarito fight, but really just stopped throwing punches after breaking his hand.
I think Clottey is VERY underrated. He has very good handspeed, Solid chin, Very good Defense, Good power, and is a big strong welterweight. I'd like to see him fight Cotto.. I think he'd give Cotto tons of trouble and I dont believe Cotto would be able to break him down. It would be a great fight.. There is a reason alot of top fighters are ducking him.
