If Clottey didn't cover up?

[FloydTBE]

clottey barley threw and busted manny up..if he opened up i think he was strong enough to stop manny(but)he wasnt fast enough and i dont think he wouldve gotten stopped but may have quit..clottey lost before he even stepped in the ring

Yeah, clotey just wanted to prove a poit to roach by lasting the 12 rounds.
gurnatte that margarito wont cover up haha

Well if Clottey threw punches back Pacquiao's work rate would decrease. His problems was not giving Pacquiao enough to think about.

... it would have been great to watch! instead, it was one of Pac's rubbish match ever...

If Clottey didn't cover up too much and traded punch like the Cotto fight,
Would Pacquiao be able to knock him out?

Clottey threw 15 punches and had Manny looking like he fell down an elevator shaft...lol

Imigine if he let his hands go.

Clottey was never hurt by Pac he ended up looking better than pac he fought more like somebody who’s holding back than somebody who’s afraid of getting knocked out.

If CLottey didn't cover up and traded like he did (and was effective too) then Pac would've gotten knocked out. I know I am the minority to think so, but I can clearly see the result of clottey's sparse work when he "didn't cover up" or in my view "opened up". No disrespect to Pac fans...just an observation from a boxing fan.

What would be the reason to hold back then if you're not getting hurt?

He was afraid of the reputation of Pac, same reason (know this aint to do with floyd) but I would say nobody at 147 would have defeated pac after the Cotto fight, everyone was shocked at what happened

Thus clottey came in just to survive, if he opened up, pac would have connected all his shots to his face as Clottey barely has any head movement

If Clottey decided to pump the jab,that fight would have looked like Winky-Tito!!

[jimmykaba]

imagine if clottey lets his hand go from all his fights
