I honestly thought Clottey was robbed in that fight. Cotto had some dirty tactics in that fight. Body slamming Clottey and everything. I think Clottey is that good. Cotto was somewhat ruined by the Margarito fight... His career is far from over though.
I agree that Clottey won the fight and you can see the exact same thing that Cotto did against Pac in the Clottey fight. He was getting beaten up, he started trying to do his bad version of defensive boxing and looked lost.
Pac just took better advantage of it than Clottey did. Not that I think it was Cotto that won the fight or he should have because he didn't and shouldn't have won it. Clottey did win it, but still, I don't agree with the rest of your post. It was reasonably close but stilla clear win for Clottey in my opinion.
Oh well, the more popular fighter with the more money invested in him, or with a huge money fight like Pac in front of him, will always win a decision like that.
The one thing this fight does show admittedly is that every time Cotto steps in with a tough fighter that can take his shots and come back with his own he is going to gas out, get beaten up and then just try to get through the fight by moving backward. It's been the way things have run for him since the Marg fight. Each big fight since then has had the same formula that the Marg fight did. Do well early, get hit too much, get hurt, get tired, stop fighting and then start trying to box badly and moving too much.
So Pacquiao got busted up and bruised because of his genetics? It had nothing to do with his horrible defense?
Why didn't Clottey at least get a scratch.
Of course Clottey's defense is better than Pacquiao's. That was it but take nothing away from Pacquiao man, he did his thing and Cotto was still the champ. Pacquiao of all fighters deserve full credit, he's not evil, ****y or anything other than great great fighter.
Discrediting him only makes you look bad and the rest of the Floyd Mayweather fans.
Why was Pacquiao's face so busted up and swollen, yet Clottey didn't even have a single scratch?
Why did a former 106 lber have the guts to fight the hardest punching welterweight at 145?
Why did an unbeaten fighter declare himself the "best of all time" without having the balls to prove it against the best in his division? Why did he opt to fight a man two divisions below?
