Clottey's attitude is what is wrong with boxers today

As for Clottey, last seen well over a year ago in a lopsided loss to Manny Pacquiao, Scolpino states that networks are interested, but that the money has to be right.

“We’re just waiting for a big fight,” said Scolpino. “Nothing on schedule right now. We had the [Kermit] Cintron fight (before he ultimately fought Carlos Molina), but not enough money.”

Scolpino expects the rugged Clottey to be back in action soon, though.

“Hopefully we get something in this year, hopefully by the end of the year he gets a fight,” said Scolpino. “Definitely, he’s got big fights in him. I would like to see him come back and fight Cotto-Margarito winner. That would be something. Let him fight Cotto again.”

No one is clamoring to see Clottey fight.

Dont write him off because he lost to Pac, write him off because that performance vs Pac is classic Clottey. Thats why he lost to Cotto. Inactivity, not enough punches thrown. He's not elite. He'll be stepping stone material.

Mike Jones vs Clottey would be a good fight to make.

I don't get the hate for the Pac fight, Manny is a little ball of energy who never stops punching, of course Clottey would be stuck behind his guard the majority of the time.

clottey's performance against cotto was subpar to say the least. Cotto was cut and could have taken the easy way out and gotten the victory. he fought, and struggled. Then late in the fight, clottey backed off and Cotto did enough to take the fight on the offiicial scorecards.

Depends on what we're talking about as far as elite. He's at elite at being the Human-Turtle. He's elite at throwing least amount of punches in a round. He's elite at making exscuses for a loss.

he could have just mailed it in early and gotten the win. Gotta give the man credit for being a fighter and not taking the easy win via technical decision.
Pretty much Cotto was there for the taking. He started doing that back pedal he does when he gets in trouble but Clottey turned into a tortoise.
