Its not every day that a fighter fights against a man that sets a record for punch output. When that happens, a defensive fighter is probably gonna set a record for blocking. Clottey is what he is and went up against a machine that was KO everyone else. At at the end of the fight he lost, but Manny looked more beat up than he did at the end of the fight. Instead of looking like Cotto, Oscar, Hatton, Diaz which is KOed and mangled. Clottey has my respect, he's just not on that animal Manny Pac's level. Like so many others. He did what he could and fought a smarter fight than the other guys who got mangled, not knowing there limitations.
Clottey is taking to much heat.

I agree, but I think what annoys people is that he could have won. Everytime he landed it was accurate and he snapped Pacquiao's head back. -

This is the best way to describe it. Clottey brought this to himself. The nerve he had to tell his trainer he wanted to last 12 rounds to prove to Roach that Pacquiao couldn't knock him out. He was only there for that and a paycheck. He deserves all the heat he's getting and does not deserve to be in another PPV main event.Comment

Clottey played himself by letting this little fake ass Bruce Lee wannabe tee off on him all night. He is the BIGGER man in that ring and their is NO glory in playing Winky Wright to a little flyweight on steroids. No glory.
Mosley would have never allowed this to happen to him. Clottey needs to retire. When you can't beat the best, what point is it in beating the rest? Is the goal not to be champ?Last edited by Erico; 03-16-2010, 08:48 PM.Comment

I agree, he blocked sure but he did not get his face rearranged in the process. He was the first to make it the distance with Pac in 5 fights. Clottey could have opened up more and would have been ko'd for his efforts, more fan friendly yes but not friendly to his face. I don't think people stop to realize the significance of 10 punch combos and the power that Pac has on them.Its not every day that a fighter fights against a man that sets a record for punch output.
