    your right bro, PAC gave clottey chances so he get some solid shot in...

    I believe clottey's game plan was to get Manny tired out but it did not work, round 9 or 10 where Joshua made his moved and increased his activity PAC answered him punch per punch...

      Cotto didn't get exposed against Clottey but Pacquiao did? Message board logic.

        Right mate!

        You know how Buboy screamed all fight long: "....yan sige, sontokin mo sa baleeeekaaaat!!!..."

        I just don't see this fight exposing anything but Clottey just pussied out, and got a huge payday.

          He won 11 out of 12 ounds and purposely took punishment near the end to entertain the crrowd. So he got hit with some clean punches. It's a fight. Clottey is world class.

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

              And Clottey was barely fighting and had diarreah.

                LOL at people using the Clottey fight to breakdown Pacquiao!

                  You don't get it, yeah..imagine if a guy like Clottey opened up that night? There goes his defense. Everytime you punch you are open yourself.

                  Mosley would get stopped in 6, Mayweather....i'm not sure - he's got quicker feet than Clottey and quicker hands but he's definently not as strong.

                  Cotto tried opening up twice and got dropped, almost koed in the 4th.

                  I do agree that there are some things in the Clottey fight that showed Pacquiaos weakness. That's his defense. Pacquiao never get's hurt but he loses pts and could get cut if he eats to many punches being careless.

                  I also think that Clottey's defense that night was better than Mayweathers. Reason being: he was there to survive, there was next to 0 openings the way Clottey was fighting. Mayweather was tagged in his last fight, but his defense is more scientific, not as bullet proof but it allows Mayweather to counter punch back - which could be good...and bad.

                    I don't know how winning 120-108, 119-109 twice is being exposed in any way, shape, or form.
