Don't get in the ring and play the cat and mouse game you played with the Pac Man. I Mayweather gives you the nod to challenge him.

Mayweather wouldn't agree for you to fight him.
He is a corporation, and he is his own CEO.

Clottey, all roads lead to mayweather at this pointm..slow forget about fighting Floyd. U can fight cotto and avenge ur loss. U can fight maidana, Martinez, camelo, Bradley, kid chocolate quillin, ceasar Chavez jr, lara,.sturm, Darren barker, golovkin. My advice to you..find the weakest boxer on this list with a huge fan base n whip them. Boxing is politics nowadays. Bradley vs pacman was another kanwe fight to set up.for the 3rd fight.

Which promoter in the US is going to give this man that chance? I can't think of any serious promoter. Josh, forget about any bi $$$ fight in the US after your shameful encounter with Pac. Try the small boxers and forget the big ones. They will not want to fight you. You are simply not a serious boxer. Retire honourably to Bukom and teach the up and coming young ones bravery in boxing. Ok? Good luck.

Clottey can slug it out with floyyd in nthe ring.it will be a good fight, but floyyd will simply dance around and use his reflexes, counter punch to outbox Clottey. In the end, Clottey will simply lose a decision. So why don't you go and fight ppl whom you can look or beat outright?. If Hopkins can be beat,.so can floyyd. Floyd showed against canelo that his right hand is suspect. He is also reluctant going for the right uppercut. A fewmore fights will further expose Floyd.

See the dividends your stupidity is paying.
In my personal assessment you are one of the top pound-for-pound boxers in the world.
You had a lifetime opportunity to catapult your career to new heights , when you fought Pacquiao but you screwed up bigtime.
Whether it was a fixed match or you just went in for the paycheck because it was your largest purse ever or for whatever it was, you disappointed your fans, your country, the boxing community, the cable networks, and you took a big blow to your career. - GARGANTUAN MISTAKE

After the fight, this is what was written on one website "boxingscene" :

" HBO, the giant TV cable network and a partner of boxing promoter Bob Arum, will no longer tap the services of Joshua Clottey, the unimpressive challenger from Ghana who escaped a knockout loss to defending champion Manny Pacquiao in their recent title fight at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Covering his face from bell to bell and seldom throwing his reputed knockout punches, Clottey lasted the distance, leaving Pacquiao with a lopsided-albeit dull-12-round unanimous decision in retaining his World Boxing Organization welterweight title before a crowd of 50,994, recorded as the biggest boxing crowd in the United States in 17 years. "He (Clottey) was satisfied with going the distance with Manny Pacquiao," said a visibly disgusted Freddie Roach, Pacquiao's American trainer. "And he did. But HBO will never use him again." "They told me that if you fight for a world title, you don't go on a survival mode. You try to win the title because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." "Clottey will never get another title shot in his life," added Roach, a four-time Trainer of the Year. Many sports fans shared Roach's anger.

They felt Clottey, who has never been knocked out in more than 50 fights, was simply afraid of suffering his first KO loss against Pacquiao. "That's why Clottey came into the fight with that kind of defensive strategy," the fans explained. "At least Clottey succeeded, escaping a similar disaster that had earlier befallen David Diaz, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto-all of whom lost by stoppage to the Filipino boxing idol." Against the heavily favored Filipino champion, the challenger from Ghana was clearly outboxed: Pacquiao threw 1,231 punches to Clottey's 399, connecting on 232 power blows to the Ghanaian's 82. "It looked like Pacquiao was simply sparring," the aficionados noted, adding "that while Pacquiao was delivering the blows in reckless abandon, Clottey-who was expected to be the more aggressive being the challenger-was merely receiving them." "For sure, it was not Pacquiao's best fight," said another boxing diehard from my hometown in Marilao, Bulacan. But despite all these critical comments, Pacquiao, who is due to arrive on Monday from the US, would be getting a guaranteed purse of $12 million apart from the pay-per-view income and gate receipts. Clottey was assured of $1.5 million-his biggest paycheck ever as a boxer"

Hopes, Clottey gets a second chance to redeem himself on a major platform. We all make mistakes and most times we get a second chance.
