I've heard you make this comment a couple of times... And it got me thinking.... Normallly, I believe I'd agree with ya, obviously a guy who makes his name off a loss generally shows something, but not enough to win in that instance... That's where Id disagree with regards to Clottey... He hasn't really lost in the same sense that would establish that opinion for me... I mean he was way ahead against Baldomir, and got DQ'ed... Fair enough, but that's certainly not a result which you should base his chances in other fights on imo. I do realize that he used his head and all, but he hasn't really shown that tendancy since, that I know of, and even in that fight it was only out of frustration towards the end. Then against Margarito he did hurt his hand, after imo showing clear supremacy over the first 4.5 rnds. What is that supposed to happen again, he can't be given that benefit of the doubt? I'm just not sure he can't still be a solid contender... I can understand ppl who say he doesn't quite have the mentality, but that's why I want to see him fight the best, he'll make for a hell of a matchup with any of the top WW's and we'll see where he's really at.
