    Did Joshua Clottey retire?

    Despite the crappy showing against Pacquiao I think he's a waste of talent. He had one more fight in 2011 and has since disapeared. Anybody have any recent info on him?

    He didn't have a crappy showing, he always fights like that covers up waits for the guy to stop punching or get tired and than attacks, but pacman didn;t stop punching or get tired so he didn't get chances to open up much.

    \Top Rank let him go from his contract and he signed with Star Promotions and will fight again in the fall at 154-160 pounds.

        That's good to hear, thanks. He hasn't taken much punishment so it will be interesting if he could still make a splash in the sport.

          The guy is built like a tank, his comeback fight after Pacquiao he knocked the guy out hard and was never heard from again.

          He will give anyone trouble his style is hard to look good against since he doesn't give you any openings unless he throws something.

            I thought he still looked sharp in that 2011 fight, but now another 2yrs. Well, he's got good fundamentals so he might have something left. Further down the twitter feed he mentions Willie Nelson as a potential opponent. Even without seeing him in 2yrs, I'd lean toward Clottey in that one (minus a robbery)

                Clottey-Bailey. Make this high-octane classic in the making.

                  Clottey was a beast before the Pacquiao fight. I think Pacquiao did something to him that scarred him in boxing.

                  And anyone who says Clottey is all defense and can't punch, watch him in the Diego Corrales fight.

                    Clottey got swamped by Pacquiao. He doesn't know how to fight that. I saw that coming a mile away. Clottey needs to know where he's going before he goes and with Pacquiao it was impossible. A stylistic nightmare. Watch Clottey against Margarito, Cotto and Judah and you see he's a class boxer. He was also suffering with a lot of injury problems when trying to come back I think. He would make interesting fights with guys like Trout, Canelo, Lara and Vanes if he got them.
