The reason Clottey didn't throw many punches vs Pacquiao

[fabie]

I know I've read somewhere wherein Clottey admitted that he had diarrhea just before the fight....he probably would have opened up more and challenge Pacquiao IF his claim is true.

But regardless, I can't see how he would have challenge Pacquiao wherein Pac was all over him, in all angles and at all times.

You gotta be very gullible to think Arum did not give Clottey a back room deal , Arum would not allow his own fighters to beat his cash cow , no way on this earth did Clottey try to win the fight , how do you stop a racehorse from winning , pull him up , Clottey was pulled up from trying , and Margo will be the same , there is just too much money to be had with Floyd to get Pac beat by one of Arums own fighters !!

every time clottey fired he connected so he stopped punching cuz he got paid to loose why?cuz clottey is not a big name like pac,boxing would suck if clottey won, boxing would be over no more record ppv. see now pac nor mayweather will loose they will pay their oponents to loose until they fight each other so they can make record ppv buys..example

floyd vs marquez.. marquez smaller weak chin and floyd even came over the weight limit Easy fight for floyd he had to win to set him up for pac

pac vs clottey..well if clottey would haved punch he would have won so he stopped punching..results pac won an easy fight now they can set up a mega fight with floyd

or maybe, it was just a bad style match up

it's just not Clottey's style to fire punches when his opponents are doing so

he is too defensive minded, and stays in his shell until his opponent stops [punching that is]

and Manny threw more than a thousand punches in that fight,

almost never giving Clottey the chance to punch back.


...but nah, you're right. it must have been rigged!

Clottey already said he didnt throw many punches because Pac would have knocked him out. lol. You dont get many boxers who are as honest as that. Most boxers would use the excuse i wasnt myself or had a bad night. But no! Clottey deserves praise for his honesty.

Shows how great Pac is. Who has ever made Clottey have to resort to fighting like a turtle trying to keep in his shell because an eagle spotted him, for 12 rounds? Again, no one. Pac is setting precedents for performances each fight.
Special....the chosen one.

Then he said he didn't fight well because he really needed a dump.

i cant blame anyone for thinking the fight was fix boxing will always be a dirty sport

[Uturn]

Clottey was just outclassed by the better man, that's all there is to it. Dont overlook Pacquiao, this guy completely DESTROYED Hatton, Cotto, like no one has before. You expect Clottey to go in there to trade blows with Pacquiao? Then think again. Clottey doesn't have the skill or ability to beat someone as good as Pacquiao, Period.

DelaHoya-Pacquiao was FIXED cause Oscar co-promotes Pac, through Arum as part of a lawsuit settlement agreement. Thats why Arum takes 30% of Pac's purse, so that he spilts it with Oscar.
Oscar is too big strong for the steroid juicer-Pac. An Oscar win over Pac, makes Pac's stock drop drastically. A Pac win over Oscar, has both of them winning cause Oscar will continue to "milk" Pac's career and "milk in" Asian $$$$$ from all over the world.
Oscar had been in there with much bigger stronger punchers like Hopkins, Vargs, Quartey, Felix sturm, Tito, etc.
There was nothing that Pac could do to Oscar, that Oscar had not seen.


Pacquiao-Clottey was FIXED cause Oscar BRIBED Clottey with an extra bonus, under the table.
Clottey has traded with big bombers like Margarito, Judah, Cotto. But with Pac, Clottey played "gun-shy".
Clottey came up with different excuses that didn't make sense.
1.) right after the Saturday night fight, in post-fight interview, Clottey said he was being "overly cautious" of Pac's fast punches (..yeah right)
2.) 2 days later, the following monday, Clottey comes up with a different excuse......that his back "hurt".
3.) 1 week later, Clottey said he had "stomach cramps".
4.) 2 months later, Clottey said he was not himself that night.

all lame excuses that just dont add up.


Pacquiao-Margarito will be a FIXED FIGHT, cause Oscar BRIBED Margarito with an extra bonus, under the table, and a guarantee to Margarito that he'll be licenced in Las Vegas, Nevada and California year after year.
After, all it was Oscar that had "say" in Texas early this year, for denying Margarito's license application.
Oscar, technically, runs the California Boxing Commission, behind the scenes, right now.
The Cali commission has been re-organized with new members, cause the past ones were fired by Arnold, at GBP's insistence, due to the Margarito-Mosley scandal, where Mosley was able to get a way with illegal/banned-EPO usage, and Margarito was scapegoated.

Cool story bro.

Bet you wish you didn't waste 5 minutes of your life typing up **** no one will read or take any notice of.

If Oscar vs Manny was fixed Dela Hoya wouldnt let Manny DESTROY and EMBARRASSED him the way Manny did. nobody ever done that kind of beating and embarrassment to Oscar.

Thats what you call "greatness". doing something that nobody has ever seen or done.
