    He never made it above #6 officially. He was never a top 3 or 4 or anything like that.

    I never understood why he was considered a top welterweight either. The man's fighting ability has always been limited and frustrating to watch. Even in his fight with Corrales(RIP), he had someone way past his best, fighting out of his weight class and ready to go yet he didn't bite. He would throw a few punches then stop, that's what he did against Cotto when he almost had him out on his feet. I remember hearing Kellerman calling Clottey an "elite" fighter long ago as he was mentioned which was hilarious.

    You in love with Margarito or something ? Seems like every one of your posts is pro margarito... The fact that you call him hall of fame worthy says tons about your credibility...

    This is the same bull**** excuse used every time by you nuthuggers who justify his ducking.
    Why didnt Floyd demand Corrales to take a drug test who at the time appeared to be a much bigger threat? why all the sudden the idea of Manny pushes him in a direction to make such an idiotic request especially when this is the biggest pay check out there for you?

    Reality is he never wanted the fight, you hid behind his testing bull****, look how many has stepped up and fought Manny with out testing.... and if its really about cleaning up the sport why is he signing known cheaters and sparring with known cheaters?

    Hey man, in 2008 I have asked the same question here but team Slickness made him out as if he were the **** all because he looked good getting his ass beat at the hands of Margarito.

    in addition they always say well had he not broke his hand he would have won that fight, Yet ignore the fact that Clottey later said that his hand was never broken that he had a bruised knuckle that was said during his pre fight interview on Showtime for the Clottey Corrales fight.

    They hyped him up Not me, though he is a solid fighter and was in the top 5....

    After Floyd was ****ing retired. How dumb are you?

    So Mayweather is a psychic now and can predict the future and all of the fighter's fights that hang in the balance, so he retired months earlier? :patsch

    Seriously, say that meaningfully to yourself outloud and see how ridiculous your little conspiracy sounds.

    its not a conspiracy everybody knows he ducked Pac everybody knows he has ducked the top fighters at welter thats why he retired, he calls it retirement but in reality he stepped back let all the real fighters do the work and he came back the moment there was one standing, and who had been through a **** load of punishment over the years.

    It was never retirement it was saying your retired to duck the threats that were there at the time

    You give tacos where they're due at taco bell, nothing else really. How would anyone normal vote HOF for an unknown(remember the purpose of the HOF?) who made a career calling out smaller opponents, loading up his gloves and losing.

    The drug testing start doesn't matter. It should be something that is agreed to by any athlete without any negotiations. It does nothing to harm anyone. Doesn't matter that he didn't ask for the testing.

    Floyd already made a career high 45 million with Cotto. He did not need Manny to make that career high. Meantime, Manny only has a career high of $25.5 million with Marquez 3.

    The "reason" does not matter either. Cleaning up the sport is irrelevant. The point is, the test does not hurt anyone and Manny turned it down.:hi:

    Clottey was factually never in the top 5...he was 6 not 5 man. Know what your talking about before you post. You sure post stuff that isn't true a lot. ****in republican's do that **** when there on stage. They say untrue **** to try and make themselves look better and then get called out on it later on, just as I am calling you out on your false information.

    Clottey was an overrated hypejob all from giving another overrated hypejob, and cheater, Margarito, a decent fight before his lack of heart failed him.

    Factually, it was a retirement. Nothing there to suggest anything else. He would have taken on Oscar the 2nd time as he was the biggest payday. So did Shane duck Floyd at the lower weights, so he could fight Oscar who was the bigger payday...??? I don't think he did. And again, Floyd factually said he was retired from Dec 07 until about May 09.

    Please stop coming at posters with your bull**** and 0 sources to back anything up. You just spit **** out and you don't even know what your talking about.:patsch
