People, mainly *****'s, and bitter fans of all mexican fighters, cotto, hatton, and oscar, try to discredit Clottey as serious competition because of his performance against Pacquiao. I will be first to admit I was disgusted, and even though Clottey would have probably gotten KO'd had he tried to throw more "poonchez", as he says, he still should have tried to do more. BY NO MEANS does that mean Clottey is not the same world class fighter everyone thought he was when they were screaming robbery to the high heavens against cotto... a fight which I do believe he barely won... Clottey's defense makes it impossible for him to transition from blocking punches to throwing/counter punching... couple that with Pac's blinding speed, intelligent aggression, blistering combo-volume punches, and weird angular attacks, and you have the perfect formula for shutting Clottey down. MOREOVER, Clottey was simply shell shocked - he could feel Manny's power through his ****** ***** tight guard... He knew from that first moment that he wasn't gonna open up and risk getting hit cleanly with Pac's blinding punches...
Clottey - still top 5 WW/Super WW... Pac is just THAT GOOD...

Nope. Clottey dropped from top 5 to a "clearly shot" hobo upon being beaten by Pacquiao. Same with Cotto. This way Pacquaio has no wins over legitimate opponents, and actually represents a dark age in boxing history.
We call this the "Klitschko Phenomenon". Everyone the champ beats "****** anyway".
When will Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson return to re-ignite the golden age? That's the only questionLast edited by Toe Injury; 10-30-2010, 03:14 AM.
