Clottey is a damn respectable dude. I like him

He's a class act. Great attitude, He definitely deserves the fight and the rewards of it.

Joshua Clottey: That is something that was surprising. We saw that Cotto's punches couldn't hurt him (Manny) so he left himself wide open and took his punches. [Click Here To Read More]

He's wrong about that. Pacquiao said afterwards that Cotto's punches did hurt him a lot, but that he was able to hide it at the time.

whats key is what Brother ****m said, which is dont treat pac like hes some little guy, because hes not. so long as he keeps that mentality, hell have a shot at having the right gameplan, which is what cottos team foolishly didint anticipate.

I thought Cotto's "plan A" was fine - he did very well in the first three rounds, and hurt Pac several times, although at the time Pac managed to hide the fact that he was hurt. But where team Cotto went wrong was that they had no "plan B"; and after the second knock-down, Cotto simply had no idea what to do.

cotto underestimated pac's speed, power, and durability. thats what killed him. brotha nazeem got everything right on the button regarding pacquiao. he is a big dude.

Clottey seems like a nice guy but there's no way he could win. Too slow. Manny's going to box circles around him.

He matched speed with Judah easily.

Cotto thought he could muscle pac around and manhandle him, had he kept on the move, stayed with his jab and continued to use the ring, he would have fared better, but cotto didint do that, he decided to plant his feet in trade which is what pac wanted and he got stopped.

cottos plan A is what got him ****ed up to begin with, they constantly talked about being "bigger".
