why did clottey refuse to let his hands go??

[htown00]

Because, he is not a risk taker and couldn't handle Pac speed and angles.

Clottey fought like Clottey...

We'll probably never know for sure.

Maybe his gloves were stuffed so heavy with the money he was bribed with that he couldn't throw. Just one theory.

[Junito-Rulez]

He was scared of Pac's power. Knowing that Pac had the kind of speed to land unseen punches on you; Clottey didn't want to take the risk of getting caught. Clottey's handspeed is good, he could have given MUCH more trouble to Pacquiao but it'd have been very risky. Cotto took the risk and got knocked down two times in the process.

The real reason is that Clottey absolutely didn't want to look bad and "lose like the others". When i heard him saying that in the interviews, i knew what was gonna happen.

Because it was a fixed fight, Clottey was paid to lose

I thought Lenny told it all: He didn't want to get KO'd to prove Roach wrong.

[j.one]

He did what he was told by the boss.

That is because Pac is not a true WW.
