Joshua Clottey - I salute you

clottey landed some bombs but didnt double up on his hooks.. i mean, cmon.. pac gave him few opportunities to land some shots.. clottey just didnt throw enough..

peekaboo clottey who going to pay you to fight again? friday night fights maybe...leave it all in the ring or take a dam walk!

Don't listen to the haters, you went 12 rounds versus Pac Man which is more than most have done. In fact you're the first man to do so since 2007; three years ago. Let the haters hate. Styles make fights, you gave it your all and you were never once seriously troubled but you got beat by the world's best P4P boxer. No shame in that at all. When everyone @ 147 can go 12 rounds with Pac Man then imo people can criticize Clottey. my 2 cents :boxing: Its easy to go 12 rounds if you dont try and punch him

I hope i never have to watch Clottey again. And i hope he never gets a World title fight again either. Retire Clottey, and let the fighters who want to fight, fight. :boxing:

Come on man 126lbers have gone 12 rounds with Manny. BTW Mannys last 12 round fight was March, 2008 against JMM.

Arum could of put a punching bag in there and it would of done the same.

Yes but his whole gameplan was survival. He never even tried to win it. i agree clotteys shell=cotto's running. same shit except cotto tried to fight early, clottey never really tried.

but he did show up guys. Defence in stself is an artform and I doubt many others could survive Manny's assaults while playing defence. Clottey is lucky that he is one of the toughest MOFO's out there and his style is all defence. I wanted to bet that Pac wins by UD because Clottey is just so tough. You don't fight Margarito with two broken hands (Or one) without having heart. He's a nice guy, really nice and I hope he gets a few big pay days, but his tactic was always going to lose him the fight, however I personally don't think an offensive Clottey would be as effective.

what a snoozefest but hey i got thats the best clottey could do. its either he respects pac too much or he's scared as sh!t!

ah come on he went 12 because he had his hands glued to his face FOR THE WHOLE FIGHT it was ridiculous manny did well not to lose composure clottey went down in my estimation that was his big chance he will never get that chance again to perform on that stage and he basically said to himself im not getting ko infront of 50,000 people which is cool but honestly i respect Cotto MUCH more for at least trying to fight his fight against pac might not have been the smartest move but at least he didn't fight like a coward trying to survive

I have to admit Clottey's defense held up much better than I thought it would.

He did what he could. His style wasn't gonna change all of a sudden. Problem was that whenever he hit Pacquiao he would get hit 4-5 times, from EXCEPTIONAL fast combinations... Pacquaio seemed very small compared to Clottey though, I don't think he should fight a bigger fighter.

it takes a general to salute a soldier.....and if you lil' dudes wanna complain go hit another thread....this thread is to salute the proud Ghanaian and not bash him ok......earn some stripes and some stars then come back here and salute the fukkin' man ok?!? I SALUTE YOU JOSHUA CLOTTEY!!!! :cool2:

that was the most boring pac fight i've seen thanks to ****ing clottey! you must not have seen pac-barrera 2. Pacquiao came in out of shape from partying too much and Barrera was satisfied with inflicting headbutts and elbows more than punching.

but he did show up guys. Defence in stself is an artform and I doubt many others could survive Manny's assaults while playing defence. I do have to agree with this statement

Yes but his whole gameplan was survival. He never even tried to win it. That's why Im pissed i ordered the fight, and people on here dont seem to realize that Clottey wasnt in it to win it, you cant explain anything to these wannabes/newbs/biased posters though... Clottey was in it to win it maybe the first few rounds, and after a while he realized he was down on the cards, and pretty much stopped trying to win and just make it 12 rounds like he's Rocky Balboa and he'll make millions of dollars and be popular because he went the distance with the champion... Sorry Joshua, this isnt a movie and it's not the 1970's anymore, people know the champion, not the chump who got punished by him the whole fight.

but he did show up guys. Defence in stself is an artform and I doubt many others could survive Manny's assaults while playing defence.

Yes but his whole gameplan was survival. He never even tried to win it. sounds like a personal problem. Pac showed up. Not his fault clottey didnt.
