    Clottey vs Cintron make it happen.

    Clottey vs Cintron would make a lot of sense.....

    and i think Clottey will do fine at 154, hes out of his league at 160.

    But at 154 i see him pretty much being the same position he is at 147, a solid contender who will give almost anyone trouble and hang with them throughout but wont win any big fights or beat any top fighters there.

    Clottey is a strong guy, I can see him successfully moving up. Although a fight with P-will wouldn't be such a good idea unless he starts letting his hands go

    The only contender Clottey might beat.

    I think Clottey would mess Paul up. He's got above average speed and is a really solid guy on the inside. He can fight moving backwards and has a nice short sneaky right.. The dude was landing 4 left hook combinations on Margarito, whose defense is on Paul's level. Plus if he's not running marathons before fights to make weight, he probably won't gas as quickly anyway.

    Williams would embarrass Clottey, IMO

    Horrible match up for Clottey.


    Clottey vs Angulo
    Clottey vs Cintron


    Two winnable fights for Clottey at 154.... and fights id actually be interested in seeing as well.

    Clottey is a midget for MW standards.

    Yeah he is. They lie about his height. Cotto was taller than him. I think they market Clottey as "big" because he comes in around 160 pounds on fight nite.

    Who cares what this guy does? He fought disgracefully in that in-house "fight" versus Pacquiao. :dead
