Why does Joshua Clottey recover so quickly from injuries?

Floyd easily beats Margo, but this fight is not going to happen.

I'd love to see Clotty get another shot. I'd pick Clottey in the rematch.

 

A fight with Floyd would certainly be more desirable. Unfortunately, he's retired and has no interest in fighting Margo.

 

Lucky for Floyd, he has people like you who stand up for him and say he would win, so he doesn't appear as scared as he really is.

Either way, he owes it to Margarito whether he would win easily or not.

 

Nah, you just don't understand boxing. Clottey is a 6 round fighter. If he can win the first 6 rounds and maybe take a round or two in the second half the fight, he can win against Margo.

If he can't, he won't.

Clottey is tough, but Margo is tougher. Margo already beat Clottey, and if Clottey was so sure of himself he would have called Margo out for a re-match.

All they said to eachother is that they both felt like rocks. I don't give a **** that you think Clottey can beat him, but stop making excuses. Clottey and Margo both had injuries, but Margo was the harder man.

If you wanna say Clottey will beat him in the re-match that's fine, but see a replay of the first fight with Clottey, the musclebound fighter, going strong in the first few rounds and that gassing out late when Margarito takes over.

This time though, unlike last time when Margarito was banging up Clottey in the corner for about a minute, Clottey might not survive.

I'm assuming you haven't watched much Clottey because the guy has a tendency to gas out in his fights.

 

So, you watched him fight Corrales, a former lightweight go against Clottey when Clottey weighed 170, and Corrales stupidly went right at him because that the only way he knows how to fight, and everything he threw at Clottey did no damage at all.

What about his fight before that against Fernandez or whatever the **** his name is. Clottey looked like pure ****. Clottey is a good fighter, but he fades.

Either way, you can pick him over Margo if you want, but I pick Margo.

 

clottey lost to carlos Tata baldomir :rofl

 

Not to mention that MD over Gutierrez. I think he needs to give him a rematch now that he is a great paper title holder.

 

Clottey didn't stop punching. I guess he had a swollen hand. He was simply outworked. I get swollen hands when I fight too.

 

I'm just wondering, why is clottey's claim of injuring his hand is well accepted as an excuse for his performance against margarito while cintron's same claim of an injured hand against feliciano (and the 1st margarito fight) aren't. why the double standard?

 

Back to the topic of this thread, here's the obvious reason Josh Clottey recovers so quickly from his injuries: he doesn't. The guy is consistently avoided and rarely lands big fights, he can't afford to let any opportunity slip while he heals. Everyone would rather beat up on clowns like Judah rather than fight a real champion like Clottey for less money, he has no choice but to be available anytime anywhere and provide no excuses to the other fighter's camp. If Clottey admitted he was hurt, Arum would offer Clottey the fight in a heartbeat knowing Clottey would have to reject b/c of his injury. This way they can lay claim to having offered Clottey the fight, and pursue an easier fight for more money. This satisfies the promoters, the camps, and the media.

 

I assume you fight 12 rounds against world-class competition? Ya, way to compare your barn gym sparring to the fighting the best welterweight in the world.
