A complete and utter joke.
I never want to see him get a big fight again. Everytime he threw he landed. Then he just didnt throw back. Hes trash.
No heart.
No balls.
No smarts.
Just a big ass punching bag. That was an embarrassment. Hell Pac showed up, where was Clottey?
Clottey did what he had to do.
he clearly didnt have the stamina to match Pacquiao punch for punch...but who does?
he had to keep his guard tight.
Clottey kept coming at Pacquiao and never stopped moving forward. If anything he is a fukking warrior...he didnt run from anything. He stood there and took it.
your not making sense burner come on man
WTF are u on?
THat is not a warrior?
He came forward cause he was gettign hit in his arms
Pac punches had no effect on him
it was the speed.
Clottey has no balls to take a chance
he is a c level fighter
He got the best of the few exchanges he had
he had manny looking like a bobble head
but he was too scared to pull the trigger
Man I wish Mosley would get his shot against pac so people can see how its done
he would knock manny the hell out
Hitting the glove-guard and hoping for a lucky-punch is no big achievement either.
Clottey felt the power when Pacquiao landed on his body and knew he would be in trouble if they landed on his chin, so he refused to open up and was fine with losing a decision rather then getting knocked out.
Burner may sound harsh here but he is right. If Clottey still has a supporter or two after that fight, I'll be surprised. What he did last Saturday was Anti-Boxing. He went into the ring with one strategy, not to win, but to last 12 rounds and not get knocked out. Him and Kevin Johnson aren't much apart.

Agreed, worthless piece of shit, can't understand why people even rated him top 10 Welter even less top 5 is borderline insanity to me. I hope this guy never gets a shot again or be put into another HBO fight, he's a disgrace to the sport.
Clottey got respect for finishing the fight even though he was there for a check. He had in his head that he was going to prevent getting KO'd and that's what he did. I think Manny had more respect for him than other fighters. Manny was tagging his ass...trying to get him out of there ASAP.
I am not suprised by this at all.
I have been saying for months that Clottey presents absolutely nothing that can trouble Manny, and I was as right as can be.
I disagree with this. He showed cowardice. He was scared of Pac.
Fighters who go into a boxing fight who are afraid and want to safely make it till the end of the fight are not warriors. He showed good D. That's about it.
He showed the heart of a lion he did what no other fighter can do at this present time and thats go 12 rounds with manny pacquiao. I'd like to see if floyd could stand up to that punishment - i doubt he could. Clottey's defense was amazing - he blocked almost every shot manny threw. Did u see his face at the end - not a mark. Did u see manny's - exactly. People who say he should have opened up and attacked more know nothing manny would have eaten him. The fact he didnt have his own trainer all camp and he fought the best boxer arguably ever to live he did his best which was great. Im mannys biggest fan and im not even african or black but im very proud of Joshua - he's a winner in my eyes he showed the whole world the toughness of a real man.

Manny's workrate was amazing! Clottey knew he'd get KO'd if he went for it. Plus,Joshua has never had a high workrate. I had Pac winning a UD but not a damn near shutout. Extra defensive boxers with low volume punching should be very worried of Manny. Not many guys in any weight class can throw over 1200 punches. Manny was amazing. I give Clottey credit for surviving some of those body shots.
No if he fights toe to toe he'll get KTFO..
No offense but Margarito and Cotto struggled to death.. Judah got his ass whooped and Clottey was dominating Baldomir before the DQ..
Pacquiao is just amazing and makes him look like a bum.
Co-****ing sign. Thats just shows how great pac is, he could make those elite fighters of the division look like a bum.
They should make Clottey Marg II. I dunno why they never brought that fight up again. Makes sense to me. I don't think Marg deserves a shot at pac. Atleast not right now.
Clottey is not a disgrace.
Joshua tried, but he simply couldn't cope with Pacquiao's speed. Pacquiao was throwing punches from all different angles, changing the angles too fast to enable Clottey to adjust, throwing four or five punch combinations.
It wasn't so much as case of Clottey fighting poorly as Pacquiao fighting extremely well.
I agree, so many people are having a pop at Clottey for not performing, but they fail to realise that Pac was just too good.
How can Clottey have no stamina?
He did more in the later rounds then he did in the first 6 & then they lacked anything that would deplete stamina greatly.
Exaclty which means he wasnt tired he was just scared.
