Was clottey vs pacquaio fight fixed?

[New England]

Most already said it but it's just the way Clottey fights. It's the same reason he lost to Margarito when he did very well in the first half of the fight. As far as him being scared of Pacquaio, every time he touched Pacquiao he hurt him. Look at the post fight presser and you'll see the damage he was doing.

Other than Mosely, who covered up after the KD, I didn't see anyone fight Pacquiao scared. That's one of the biggest myths on this site.

you missed the cotto fight?


after the second knockdown, cotto was there to survive.

throwing and landing are two different things

I always had my su****ions about this one.

Funny cause during bute/ pascal, pascal was hitting with two fists at the same time and they were talking that in another fight the ref told the fighter to stop doing that and they couldn't remember what fight it was. It was this one.

Clottey has said some really weird things about this fight over the years, though I'm still very skeptical any version of Clottey can beat Pac.

he didnt' ahve the speed to counter prime manny from the peekaboo. his feet were too fast, and he moved away with angles and away from the ropes.

that fight would be a UD for pacquiao 100 out of 100 times.

Actually, I thought about the Cotto fight but he was doing that back pedaling ***** against other fighters including Judah, Mosely, and especially Margarito.

What incentive would Clottey have to throw the fight? If he beats Pacquiao that leads to infinitely more paychecks. Clottey just fought safe and stunk it up.

he went forward for much of the judah fight, barring a few spots where his chin was shaken. by the end of the fight he was in seek and destroy mode with the right hands to the head and combinations to the body.

margarito and mosley both hurt cotto, and that's when he backpedaled, same as the pacqauio fight. he had a comfortable lead against mosley.


against margrito, he tried his hardest until he hit the wall and ended up on the ropes. against manny he stopped trying after the second knockdown.
