    Exactly! He even admitted that this is his real first loss.

He doesn't let his hands go (even when cotto was hurt and back pedalling he didn't), He doesn't have world class power(3 KO's in his last 15 fights and 1 KO in his last 10 fights), and he's a stationary fighter so how could this not be a dominant fight?
      Coz i doubted Clottey before when he fought Judah. I was rooting for Judah in that fight coz Clottey was acting ****y. But he just made Judah quit. Also, he was snapping Judah's head with that lead right. this fight just made me realize that Pac would have an easy work on Mayweather. he will hit Mayweather hard and often.

          I saw a 9-3, 8-4 type of victory for Pac going into this fight. I thought Clottey might shine here and there, this being the biggest fight of his career, but I was wrong.

            Thats true and you can't take that away from him but Clottey was tailor-made for pac because of what pac can do. It was not pac's fault that the fight went the way it did but it was pac's fault in a sense that he chose this fight. Nobody was calling him to fight clottey. Clottey is a B-class WW with no belts and he's tailor made for him. The fight should not have been made and if it were to be made than it shouldn't have been PPV.

              I'm not really suprised by the outcome, more or less dissapointed in Clottey. I wanted to see a good fight (luckily I streamed it and didnt spend $50). It amazed me how Clottey is in the biggest fight of his life and he didnt bring anything to the table. It seemed like he was more concerned with surviving the 12 rounds than actually winning the fight. Oh well, back to HBO fights vs B class fighters for Clottey I guess. He had his chance and did nothing with it.

                No He will not. Here's why... Mayweather's reflex's, movement, hand speed, accuracy, and just overall skill are 10x better than clottey... its not even a comparison. Its easy to punch around a shell defense when the guy is just standing right in front of you and not throwing back lol... especially for a guy like pac who doesn't just punch himself out.

                  since the pac vs may fight didn't pull thru, the WBO's number 1 contender is joshua clottey....so u can't blame the dude for wanting to fight clottey lol

                  another thing...clottey's been in there with some top welterweights, and u can't say dude clearly lost in any of them, especially the margarito and cotto fight (oh, what about margarito? isn't clottey "tailor made" against him lol?)

                  clottey would present problems for a lot of the top welterweights, he's never been hurt, and pac showed way better defense than i thought he would (watch tapes of clottey against any southpaw, he dominates and picks them apart)...

                  so in a sense, im not shocked by the outcome because i've always told these hype beasts of pac and mma fans that i just don't know how pac is gonna KO clottey, but i'm am very impressed from pacs much improved defense, his ability to break clottey's guard as the fight went on, and most importantly, that sickening work rate lol..

                  just appreciate that performance

                    I appreciate the performance but like I said it was a stay busy fight and a fight that means nothing and if you were paying attention you would have known that the fight would go this way. That is all i'm saying. I can however be mad at him for wanting to fight him because the mayweather fight was only a couple blood tests away from happening. I think this was a good stay busy performance and you guys should not be surprised by what happened last night.
