On the other hand he leaves himself open to the body with that high guard and bodyshots can hurt just as much(thats how Margarito wore him down), he has and seems always will have stamina issues,he has difficulty making weight,and with his style,against a guy with more power,he could get beaten up.

Also,he has at best, a decent work rate. Felix Flores was outworking and outhustling him at times and Margarito did the same too. Don't get me wrong,he's a great fighter,very solid and tough but I'd favour PW,Kermit,Cotto etc over him. Clottey does not have enough power to bang with someone like Kermit or Cotto but he does not have the work rate to beat a Williams.He'd give them all tough fights though.
Fair enough Gamo and to an extent I agree....I am not trying to say he is the future ruler of the division but IMO I can see him holding a strap in the future.....It is a style makes fights situation....
Thats why I said IMO he would have a hard time with Williams due to reach mostly because we all know williams does not have KO power in that big frame of his...But I think Cintron would look past him and end up getting caught sleeping....Not guarenteed but I can see it happening....

If Clottey could fight at 154 comfortably he would have a much better shot
