    Simply stated as the styles and attributes of welterweight contender Joshua Clottey. I hear that some say that if defeats Zab Judah on Saturday night to become the IBF welterweight champion, he is an excellent physical matchup against Antonio Margarito. Why is that? Some say he will not be undersized as Cotto nor oversized as Williams.

    Yes, Clottey is a strong Welter that has the style to trouble Margo or any of the big boys. We'll see how he does against Zab, and if he's going to be a player or not.

    Against Margo he was definetely ahead until his hand screwed up and he lost his head.

    He has surprisingly fast hands and good strength.

    I tip him to beat Judah. I doubt Margo will fight him again, money is too small.

    Clottey would give problems to any WW right now. Would be interesting if he wins, he could fight Paul for a unification match while Marg takes a money fight, and the winner gets to fight Marg for the undisputed title.
