top guy humble but with an entertaining style when a war of words took place. That press conference with Antonio Tarver when Tarver banged the table and got up and Clinton told him "you wanna learn some manners pal" is still one of my favourites . I wish i could find it on youtube. Classy boxer too with some real talent. Took on the very best a match with Froch would have been really entertaining

I sparred quite alot with Clinton up to his winning his 1st title vs Baker(at 10 days notice) and upto that fight he was good tho not great but the confidence that win gave him sent him to another level. A very,very tough man who was schooled well as a child and improved with every fight till his last.
manno....did u box pro?....what's your name?
