    And yes. I would have preferred him to engage. He HAD to take risks, he's a good defensive fighter, we knew this. But he just stayed in his shell.

    Who gives a **** if you're coming forward if you're not throwing punches. Hell, Cotto in retreat mode was throwing more punches than Clottey was coming forward.

    I know you don't like Cotto, but Cotto put up FARRRRRRR better of an effort. I don't see how it's debatable. Cotto, for 5 rounds, was very much in the fight. Clottey at no point was remotely in the fight, I don't care if he didn't get stopped or didn't run. I'd rather have some success and be in the fight at one point than do what Clottey did.

    He didn't come to win. When you come in, see that what you wanted to do is not working, you gotta mix it up. He didn't have any interest in that. He refused to take a risk when he KNEW he was getting shut out....and he did get shut out.
    People like Vab view me as a big Cotto detractor like Street Bully, but fair is fair. This post pretty much explains why Cotto put up a better fight than Clottey did. But that's not saying much because Barrera and JMM put up better fights against Pac in the rematches than Clottey and Cotto did.

He feeds off countering when an opponent stops, but thats a little difficult when one guy is throwing 20 shots at a time.

      But savor why do you say pathetic attempt? Clottey stood infornt of him the WHOLE time, and walked him down. Would it have been less pathetic if he were to run away due to having no defensive skil to block shots with lafter the 4th round and get get beaten up while running and throwing even less than he did in the later rounds?

      It was almost a shut out, but Clottey fought like he lways does.
      it was a pathetic showing. he didn't try to win a single round. his trainer said to him "give yourself a chance" and he shook his head several times... he was SCARED of pacquiao since the beginning of the fight

        Street, come on man! That was an awful showing of Clottey. "At least he didn't run", dude, sticking your hands to your head and not fighting is worse than running! Secondly, it wasn't almost a shut out.........it was a shut out. Clottey didn't do anything, sickening. Anyways, I think Lamps was more angry, just like everyone else, that Clottey just showed up for a pay check and had zero intentions of actually trying to win the fight. He likes Pac, but I think it was more out of frustration that he was saying all that stuff.

          I get what your saying, but Clottey threw his usual output, and would land when he threw. He lost, but I would much rather prefer wating someone at least give an opponent something to hit rather than run. Also Also so far who hasn't realized that they lost and accepted defeat against pacquiao since Marquez? Morales did twice, Barerra did, Oscar did, Hatton got ktfo before he could, Cotto did, and while Clottey tried, his style was for Pacquiao turtle shell low output high accuracy fighters always lose to insanely high work rate fighters. It was like Williams vs Wright, but not as bad...

              I dunno, I guess he was being pretty biased, but Clottey didn't do much, so w.e.

              He did sound angry at Clottey, though. They were pretty hard on him last night, but he didn't take any risks and he needed to.
              I went to the fight bro, it was a great experience I had fun. The atmosphere was crazy bro. So I didn't hear the commentary. But, being in that stadium it was somethig else. From every fan I talked to they enjoyed the fight. But, I have to watch it on tv just to see why all the negativity is going around.

              But, that **** **** clip had me dying... **** ****

                I don't think it was 12-0. I personally had it 11-1, but thats neither here nor there still basically a shut out. the Top Rank commentary was much better though. One could argue Clottey won round 7 as well.

                Anyways exactly what i though would happen played out. A WW versio of Wiliams vs Wright. I don't et why people are surprised Anyone could take one look at the styles and see this.

                  I thought it was worse than Williams/Wright....Winky was trying way more then Clottey.

                  Like I said in a post to someone else...Clottey's trainer was telling him over and over again that he was losing every round and needed to let his hands go.

                  Clottey was more than aware that he was getting shut out from the 1st round on....and did NOTHING to change up what he was doing. That clearly says to me that he was content with going the distance. Usually when you're losing every round, and aware of it, at some point there is a sense of urgency. There was none with Clottey. It was a pitiful performance and he should ashamed of himself.

                  Clottey will never be on HBO again....believe that.

                    I disagree. Fighters at 147 can take his shots for a while, whereas those guys were getting dropped with single shots. If you ask me its just that P4P those guys were better than his 140 and 147 opposition.

                      Cotto did run towards the end of the fight but he pretty much did what Clottey did, except Clottey did it the whole fight! Clottey would shell, pick a punch and Cotto in the last 4 rounds would back pedal, pick a punch. Only difference was Miguel made the first 4 rounds very competitive and tried to win, while Clottey didn't try to win a single round. One guy showed heart, like he always does and went toe to toe until he took a great shot in the forth, while Clottey showed he never has the drive to be great. And some people wonder why Miguel has a loyal fan base and Clottey doesn't have anything. It's all about the heart baby!
