pacquiao was hittable, but what happens after that???

[Pacquiao'd]

If Clottey would have opened up more I'm sure Pac/Roach would adjust to include more movement and countering. They know that if Pac stayed flat footed and kept on the attack Clottey wouldn't come out of that shell. If he didn it would have been a better fight but I think he'd have gotten KO'ed. Almost every time he opened up and landed on Pac, Pac retaliated with effective hits that found Clottey's chin.

manny didnt adjust one time in that fight, he couldnt find a way to break clotteys defense so wrong

You may wondered why Clottey did not open up? He was in the ring with Pac. You think he knows better than us in that situation? Yes of course and he already said the reason. Pac is just damn too fast.

PAC, I believe, didn't even bring his A-game to that fight. Clottey did get some good shots on him but he was standing in there, pretty much, daring Clottey to fight him. He even Ate a couple punches just to lure Clottey out of his shell. I think If Clottey opened up, Pac wouldn't have been as easy to hit.

I don't have a problem with Pac daring an opponent to fight him, but when little guys start eating punches as a lure against increasingly bigger guys - that's a recipe to get KTFO.

Pac needs to cut that **** out because if he does it against Mosley or Mayweather he'll be on an express elevator to the canvas.

he hits his opponent back?

[KittenFlaps]

Clottey doesn't punch. That's his main problem. Pac and Roach are top tier guys, they are fully aware of what Clottey is and isn't comfortable doing. Manny was out there hitting a heavy bag for 7 rounds or so before the heavybag hit back.

Every time Clottey started swinging Pac opened up on the head. If Clottey came out swinging early not only would he be completely out of his own game, he would probably be stopped as that's the type of fight Pac wins in the first 6 rounds.

i do agree with the reporters about the fact that manny was there for clottey to hit him if only clottey took the chance, but what would actually happen if clottey even attempted to launch an attack against the pacman, in order to do that means getting out of his defensive shell....

would it change the complexion of the fight that night?

what's your thoughts on this guys???

first it will be more exciting ...

imagine PAC-Clottey Round 11 for 12 rounds .... okey I dont think Clottey will last 12 rounds of that ...

if clottey stayed with those uppercuts on the inside and shoot that str8 right regularly it would have been totally diffrent, pac seemed almost hopeless against that uppercut. 4 some1 with as much speed as manny he shouldnt get hit with a triple uppercut. this is a problem and mosley would expose that in a brutal way.

i don't think you have watched pac enough to tell that he is staying there purposely to get hit and encouraging clottey to open up, let him throw punches at him. it will be a different story if he is fighting mosley or mayweather.
