    Dam right, he hasn't! Since the Corrales fight he's looked pretty shabby. Compared to his fight against Margarito he has looked like poo actually.

    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

    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.........

    Certainly not Joshua Clottey's best performance but he won the fight 5-4 on my card and the cut was caused by a left uppercut not a headbutt another BS moment in Zab Judah's colorful career.....

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

    Clottey isn't a star. He's a solid, tough, abraham-type fighter. But unlike Abraham he lacks one punch ko power.

    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)
