    I was disappointed he did not throw more. Having said that for all who are bitching about his strategy all you need to do is listen to the interviews before the fight. He on numerous occasions said his aim was to not lose like the others and give Manny a hard time. I rem getting pissed of when i watched the interview.

      Steward mentioned it in the 11th round when clottey had his moments and pac would put it him on taking it right back. When pac gets hit he comes back at you right away, he gets pissed while Clottey just doesn't have that he is way too passive doesn't have the warriors mentality.

        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?

          I agree, Joshua Clottey could have won, (not would have won, COULD have won) had he thrown more, he was more accurate, and it was clear that he was able to absorb Pacquiao's punches, when he felt those uppercuts pushing Pacquiao's head back, he should of followed up, pushed Pacquiao a little bit, because Pacquiao cant punch when his feet are settled on the ground. Clottey has the tools, he didn't impliment them. I will still be a Clottey fan and I thought he might have one @ least 2 rounds. He needs a trainer to build confidence in his offense.

            I rewatched the fight today...........Clottey took a BIG beating to the gut......he got crushed downstairs like no ones business. Pac was busting the lower abdomen area up severely.

                clottey deserves the heat he's getting. he just had the BIGGEST fight of his career and he pissed it all away. we knew clottey was gonna be clottey but when you're on the big stage, you have have to show that you want victory. he didn't show that on saturday. he should have taken more risks, especially when it was becoming obvious that the fight was headed towards a shutout. he fought to survive instead of fighting to win during a championship fight and that's just a disgrace to the sport.
