A large amount of fighters in or around the 154-pound section are going to want a shot at the man who happens victorious between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito when the above rematch on December 3. And Joshua Clottey, that has fought both in the past and made his ring come back on November 19 in Houston, desires his hat thrown in. From Ryan Burton:
"I hurt my hand in the Margarito fight. A lot of people thought that I beat Cotto. That was a close fight. I would like the chance to fight either of those guys again," Clottey told Boxingscene.com.
Clottey (36-4, 21 KO) did give a fine accounting of himself against Cotto in 2009, and against Margarito in 2007. The biggest problem moving forward that Joshua Clottey will probably face is that he has the status -- which might or might not still be true, we'll find out -- of overvaluing himself. Specially in this world of ours where Clottey laid an egg on pay-per-view against Manny Pacquiao in March 2010, Clottey just isn't a fighter that networks are dying to use TV. He's excellent, but he's not exciting, he's not well-liked, and he has no impact on TV ratings.
In his return fight against Calvin Green last Saturday evening, he was aggressive, took power over the battle, and halted an overmatched foe in two. Fighting just over 154 pounds, Clottey seemed who is fit, and at 34, he has not taken a great deal of damage over his career. He could be a challenger once more, but he might need to prove himself once more.
