Maybe I should have said lazy instead of "like poo." Clottey sure looked lazy in the Flores fight.
I like the guy. I'm just nervous about tonight.
He's so boring, take the Alvarez fight, he had a guy who could do nothing against him but he just cruised along, doing just enough. He's good but he's up there with Zahir Raheem in terms of boring for me.
I will be a lifelong Judah fan if he wins tonight. Same for Kirilov against Darchinyan.
Thinking about Clottey just drives home just how stacked the 147-pound division is. Head and shoulders above any other division.
Judah is way more skilled IMO. Neither of these guys are real hard hitter so I thhink we are in for a close decision. I'm going with Zab because he is a step faster and more natural at the weight, I think clottey has been draining himself lately down from around 170 lately so that may be why he's looked sluggish late. Stamina will play a big factor in this one.
Judah career is against the wall. He loses and he's done. He won't let it happen. Judah by UD
I want to pick Zab to win this fight, I really do. He's the man with the skills after all. But it's Zab in a big fight. You just know he's going to find a way to lose. Clottey is no Margarito, but Zab is no Cotto. I'm going to wait till they get in the ring before I decide which guy I'm going to cheer for.
If Clottey beats judah (Im hoping he doesnt) then he should be a good addition to the eliet at 147 and could get in some good match ups with margs berto or PW for a unification. He seems good enough to be a top guy so hopeflly if he wins tonight hell get in some good fights
I think Clottey is overrated. I don´t know for sure but I think so. I mean what has he actually done, except lose to Margarito and beat a spent Corrales? I think Clottey will be looked back on as a tough contender who wasn´t good enough to win a title. Like a Ben Tackie. But I´m wrong more often than I would like, so we´ll see tonight
On the other hand, Zab Judah was overrated for so long, that he has now become underrated. I think all 5 guys that beat him were better than Clottey and he did well in most of those losses. I got Zab.
Berto v. Clottey? That would be a good matchup.
Just as predicted... Great defense, Great Counterpunching and fast Combos, broke Judah down... Clottey is easily top 3 Welter in the world and would love to see a rematch with Margarito....
Ladies and gents Joshua Clottey has arrived and deservedly so:cool:
Head bunts. Gotta love Zab's mastery of English.
I didn't think Joshua Clottey looked that sharp he looked lazy at times and didn't put his combinations together as good as he can do.........Quote:

He arrived. But it looks like he arrived in a Honda. Instead of a limo. He looked alright. He was just stronger than Judah.Quote:

That makes him unmarketable...to fighters and to the public. He won the fight but Judah probably still has more options of what to do next then Clottey does.
I think you might be right there. Clottey can only really look forward to his next fight. Judah on the other hand can do that, PLUS consider retirement. haha (sorry...not a judah fan)Quote:
