Did Pacquiao get exposed in the Clottey fight?

[Gorilla Dogs]

Everyone knows Clottey doesnt throw much punches but even he busted up Pacquiao with the little punishment he threw out there


Imagine what a Mayweather or Mosley, a guy with quick hands would do to Pac

Well,as far as Clottey "exposing him",I thought that he needed to up the work-rate.He did show that Pac is still susceptible to a right hand (which is odd,considering that Manny hasn't fought a right hand dominant fighter,Marquez, before this for 5 fights!!!) and has poor defense.

Even after all these years,he is still a sucker for the straight right,I doubt Manny finds a solution. Morales had his success,as did Marquez,and Floyd is faster and all around better/more versatile than both of them.

I don't think you can say he got exposed by Clottey. Maybe by Marquez but not Clottey.

[Picazo]

the term "exposed" is thrown out there a little too much dont you think. clottey did nothing but survive in that fight.

The plan was clearly to throw to stop Clottey from opening up, even at the expense of taking shots.

So no, as Roach doesn't let Pac fight that way against a different style of fighter.

Im talkin bout Pac bein exposed cuz of being BUSTED UP by Clottey

[davidoff]

But you're saying busted up with "little punishment". They were hard counters from a Clottey with weight behind him.

How would a pot-shotting armadillo expose a boxer striving to get some openings which will obviously yield a result of the offensive fighter getting hit?
