    No sense in ducking Pacquiao-Mayweather

    The lopsided result didn’t seem to faze Clottey, though. Post-fight he stood carefree in the ring, smiling for pictures and waving to ringside fans.

    Clottey didn’t come to fight. He came to cash his check and go home, spending 12 rounds covering up as Pacquiao wailed on him.

    “There was no way Clottey was going to beat this guy, even if he took off his gloves and fought him bare-fisted,” Bob Arum, the fight’s promoter, acknowledged.

    “Manny fought a good fight,” Roach said, as frustrated as anyone. “He pitched a shutout against a middleweight. But that middleweight should’ve used his [expletive] power.”



    Read the whole thing.

    Interesting article.

        You think a fighter who loss like that would be crushed and a bit embarrassed.

        Where was the guy who was so emotional after the Cotto fight?

            Can't argue with that point.

            I wish Ricky could have lasted a little longer against Manny.

            At least we know he would have kept trying to win late in the fight.

              “He needed more time,” Roach said. “One fight back and you’re returning against [Pacquiao]? He found out Manny doesn’t like blood drawn and [made it an issue].


              Same old Roach, wasn't he the one who admitted that he needed more time?

                  That's because Floyd "the villain" is asking for it. If Pacquiao was the one asking for that type of testing, everyone would support him on it. I hate the media, and that's why i want Floyd to win if he ever fight Pacquiao. Of course i would love to see Pacquiao beat Floyd as well, Floyd isn't a likable person, but we don't know the real Floyd, we don't know any Athletes or Celebrities for that matter. What i'm trying to say is, Floyd can never win against the media, he will always lose.
