Comments Thread For: Joshua Clottey Eyes Move To 154, Picks Pacquiao To Win

[LeadUppercut]

It had nothing to do with speed. Ive watched that dreadful fight 2 times and there was times when Manny was dead tired not really throwing any punches, he was catching is breath and clottey was just standing there. That is not the clottey I know. I've seen clottey walk down fast fighters like Zab, cotto etc. Manny is fast but he is not as fast as clottey is making out to be. I put my life on it that if Clottey was with golden boy and not top rank that fight wouldnt have happened. And had it happened Pac would've got knocked out in the later rounds.

That fight was staged. Even reading this aritcle and listening to clottey say sorry sounds crazy. It doesnt even sound like him.

The whole fight was bizarre.

For me, it became obvious toward the end of round two.

Clottey landed a 2 punch combination that backed Manny up big-time. He clearly realised that fact and his instincts kicked in, then he backed off and completely went into his shell and waited for Manny to come forward and open up.

Having a naturally low output - which nobody is arguing with - is one thing, but ignoring the only two boxing instincts that you possess is unnatural.

The incident in round 6 where Clottey basically apologised for hurting Manny only happens during sparring.

Clottey's ridiculous stuttering explanation's just confirmed it for me.

Read the interview if you haven't already, you'll have a good laugh.....

Yup, that Mosley-Floyd fight was fixed as hell, fake as a $3 bill.

After Floyd got put on ***** street, it's a good thing Shane remembered his marching orders and eased up on his company's Cash Cow. He would have never been forgiven by his boss, also Floyd's boss, Oscar de la Fishnets, for killing the big payday down the road.

[Double A 215]

He failed to turn it on because of pacquiao, combined with his style. He likes to block then throw, doesn't like to get hit. What happens when he's hopelessly out matched in speed and the other guy never stops throwing.......we saw it.

Cotto fight, he threw less and landed more. Was a 1 point fight on a fair card. He won more rounds but the knock down made it close. And he thought he was winning with cotto bloody and back peddling in the late rounds. Had the fight been in ghana you would be saying cotto failed to turn it on.

12 competitive rounds with cotto. And lasted 12 against pacquiao. Better then most i would say. He's a classic ghana fighter with the double guard. Unless he adapts a new style he will always fight that way. Defense first.

Don't confuse clashing styles(or a defensive style) with a lack of heart.

Fair card in the Cotto fight, I totally disagree with that... Cotto fought with a lot of heart that night in the Garden, but HE DID NOT WIN THAT FIGHT! And anyone with 2 eyes could see that...
