Why was Clottey ever considered a top ww??he never beat anyone

:good

 

Back to thread topic, Clottey was never ranked above #6 at WW.

 

He was regarded highly during that era due to lack of opponents in my opinion

 

Absolutely! I agree.:good He was still never above #6 as rated by Ring or ESPN. Aside from the sanctioning bodies, nobody has ever had him above #6.

 

The **** are you talking about? Ortiz was a NOBODY in 2008. Then he got ***** slapped by Maidana in 2009. You're delusional if you think Ortiz was ever a bigger threat. Ortiz is as overrated as they come.

I can't believe people are still hype this glass heart fool. Clottey would kick the **** out of Ortiz if they get in the ring.

 

You already know what its about when it comes to the *****s they will build up any of Floyds opponents as if Floyd is fighting a prime Tyson.

 

excellent post. i thought he beat margarito. at least deserved a draw . but it was the margarito show that night . lining up for a match with cotto.

 

:deal

 

yes:thinkperhaps

 

No it was not the Margarito show to set up the Cotto fight, Margarito fought Williams next... Then Johnson then Cintron....

In no way could you score Margarito Clottey a draw

 

Would Clottey ever had a chance to outbox Floyd? No. Would Ortiz? No.

What about a puncher's chance? Ortiz- yes. Clottey- no.

 

atsch

 

180 lb Clottey couldn't even stop shot to hell Corrales 2 weights above Corrales' best weight :nut

 

So the **** what... I aint talking about who Clottey can stop and who he cant stop...

I am talkin about this "Punchers chance" you give Ortiz, the mother ****er walked into the fight a known quitter, weather he has power or not, against Floyd you have to be able to land for that power to mean ****.

and with a soft heart like Ortiz it was a matter of time before he quit, like I said in a different thread, during the May Ortiz fight I was furious at Floyd for that cheap ****, thought Ortiz had a case to headbutt him due to the elbows.

after seeing Ortiz blatantly foul Lopez several times in their fight its obvious when Victor Ortiz is in a fight, his heart caves he looks for a way out and sometimes guys like that foul their way out......

in other words Victor Ortiz had power sure but lacked the skill to make it a factor, he is a tuff fighter sure, but if you hang in there long enough you will make him look for a way out.

Floyd knew this thats why he took the fight....
