Look at how easy Pacquiao gets hit...

[Allucard]

Do you think they will want to fight Margarito next? Lets remember Margarito is even a bigger WW than Clottey is, he's very durable like Clottey and throws allot of punches. Wraps or not, Margarito never makes it an easy fight for any opponent. If Floyd vs Pacquiao doesn't happen next for Pacquiao he might as well retire or go back to 140 imo. Margarito may not win but every time Pacquiao fights he gets hit more and more... Greedy Arum doesn't care for Pacquiao, i've said it first!

I think Pac was intentionally doing it on purpose. Even a repeated 3 uppercuts in a row.
reason? make fight more intereting. Clottey wasnt doing much but turtle shell for 95%.

If Pac fights Margs next then **** Pac. Margs doesn't deserve a pay day.

Heh, Pacquiao only really got hit when he started imitating Clottey's peek-a-boo style to get Clottey to open up.

He also fought a lot more flat-footed because he really didn't have to bounce in and out, Clottey was standing there in his shell doing absolutely nothing.

doesnt mean much, i think he got a bit overconfident at times, maybe a bit sloppy. in addition to that hes always been there to be hit so whats your point?

just to get things clear u think margarito is a hard fight for pacquiao?

margarito is tailor made for pac. if i could create a fighter made for pac it might end up exactly like margarito exceot no mullet to supoort his head when he crashes to the canvas.

straight forward, flat footed, low boxing IQ, heavybag style defense etc.. he would make pac break a sweat since he wouldnt go quick, but theres no way in hell he presents any problems for pacquiao.

I think if PBF beats Mosley it will be interesting if the PBF vs Pac fight will happen? I think the next best opponent will be either Bradley or Valero perhaps at 140.

Its obvious that pac can be countered as the two marquez fights displayed but the issue is whether the fighter is willing to take some heat in order to give heat? It seems that Pac will continue to fight only Top Rank fighters to keep the money in th3 78 year old Bob Arum's hands.

this is simply nitpicking and fault-fnding. sure, pac got hit by some shots just like he got hit in the cotto fight. but he took them all well and hit clottey with much more punches thus the very lopsided decision. pac clearly staggered clottey with a right hook and a vicious body combo early in the fight. that's probably why clottey put those "earmuffs" on for the entire fight as he felt pac's strong punches early.

clottey also had a badly bruised right cheekbone. but it didn't look too bad since he is so dark-skinned unlike pac. and clottey now is probably feeling the effects of those 100+ body punches landed by pac which by itself equaled clottey's total punches landed for that fight.

they expect Pacquiao to never get hit.

that's what they expect of a small, little man who was cutting down a tree that wouldn't fall.

They'd hate him too if he didnt get hit, theyd say he's still on steroids if he knocked out clottey.

whatever he does, theyd hate him...its all haterade these days.

clottey landed some good counters, but i think pac "ate" a lot of shots just to attempt to lure clottey into opening up.

[PensionKiller]

For me, Pac was coasting and squaring up to get Clottey to hit. Once he did hit, then Pac would come back.

Whether he will try and stand in front like that in a close fight, I doubt, but Pac has never been a defensive fighter.
