I Haven't Read Anything About Clottey And I Believe He's A Threat Why Is He Active I'd Love To See Him Against Berto, Cotto,or Mosley He's No Walk In The Park.

Clottey will be tough for anyone. He is tough and strong and is a pressure fighter.

Im sure a lot of people will disaree with me, but I think Clottey is the most complete fighter in the welterweight division. Id favor him over Cotto and Mosley, though they would be close fights. Most overlooked fighter in boxing imo.

How is he more complete than Cotto, Mosley, Mayweather?
I think he's overrated if anything, he doesn't have a lot of power, he isn't super fast, he squares up a lot. I like that he keeps his hands up, and that he is accurate, but I think he would be in against too much fire power agianst Cotto, MOsley, and even Berto.
He didn't even mention Mayweather, remember the guy who's retired??
I think Clottey could be dangerous to all those guys but he's in the position of being the high-risk low reward fight in the division & none of these guys seem to bothered about unifying the belts. I don't think Clottey is amazing at any one particular thing, but he is very good at everything IMO, a well-rounded fighter. Can't see Mosley or Cotto giving him time of day, & I think Berto's handlers will recognize him as too dangerous a risk. If Margarito fights in Mexico, it might be worth Clottey going there to get revenge & possibly raise his profile.
Honestly the way it is in boxing today you have to sell yourself and make noise and call people out. It can be done with respect and class but he hasn't been putting out that extra efford to get the publics attention and he's holding a belt.
Like I said, its not the popular opinion, but time will tell...Mayweather is not worth mention as hes retired and not relevent in the division anymore. I think Clotty has a better defence than Mosley. Hes not as fast but hes solid in every departement. He has a better chin than Cotto and just as much dtermination. Im not saying hes better than him or Mosley. Just more consistant and complete all around. Hes obviously not as big a name, but he is as big a talent imo.

Clottey reminds alot of Quartey except for that shotgun jab. But all around I think his skills are probably better than Ike's were. Now that would be a great fight. I give him a good chance but I do think the division's elite are still much better than him. I believe if you feed him to Mosley,Cotto or even Margarito again he will lose.
I will go a step further and actually say Clottey is avoided...Not feared mind you because I don't believe in that nonsense once fighters get to the elite level but I mean out right avoided...The guy can punch, he has very good defence...his chin is durable as they come...Plus Clottey has balls...Bad combo for anyone..
Now that of course does not mean I think he is the best fighter at 147 nor do I think he would beat everyone else...Just that when push comes to shove guys will be more then willing to go another route rather then his
