Do you feel bad for Clottey?

[ICB]

Yes in a way because he will be avoided again for quite sometime IMO, which he doesn't deserve because he did fight his heart out, as for the fight itself ? not at all as i've said time and time again, i question Joshua Clottey's mentality i really do.

Oumafan you have gave the exact examples i have been saying for weeks, he gave away a win against Carlos Baldomir, he lost heart quickly on only an injured hand against Antonio Margarito.

And he almost got himself DQ'ed against Richard Gutierrez, and as you said he made it tougher than it should of been.

I think Joshua Clottey just falls short of being elite, for all the examples above.

He had Miguel Cotto in trouble and the fight was his, yet he totally let his foot off the gas. And was outboxed in the last 2 rounds, he has no one but himself to blame for not pressing the action when he should have.

He wouldn't have won a decision anyway. Even after dominating Cotto the first 9 rounds he was already so behind that he needed a knockout to win. You can't blame Clottey for that

Can't blame Joshua Clottey for that ? the way your making it sound, is that Joshua Clottey knew the exact scorecards during the fight.

Joshua Clottey gave the fight away in the last 2 roudns end of, forgetting what the 2 judges had it.

Joshua Clottey let his foot off the gas and he should of pressed the advantage he had.

I never at any point see Joshua Clottey "dominating" Miguel Cotto. I see him take tactical advantage between the 7th and 9th rounds. By landing good right hands and right uppercuts.

The 10th round was debatable and in the last two rounds for whatever reason, he took his foot off the gas and was outboxed end of.
