Official Floyd Mayweather- Manny Pacquiao Postfight aftermath discussion

[Doctor_Tenma]

Yes, typical performance from Clottey. When he punched he had success. I think he was overly cautious because of Pacquiao's speed and didn't want to leave openings. He just became complacent going the distance. But you can't win like that.

But that's Clottey. He stopped fighting against Cotto and Margarito too.

I'll never understand what goes through his head, the talent is there too.

Yep, didn't Clottey say it was hard to get off punches because Pac seemed to know what was coming.(countering him)

Again, with the high guard you can't counter as efficiently or quickly versus countering from a shoulder roll. This will work for Pacs advantage.

Same reason De LaHoya, Rios, Algieri kept their hands to themselves. To salvage some beauty!

clottey doesn't have a lot of beauty to salvage.

More the reason to keep hands at home!

It's still inexcusable, Clottey had size, more defensively equipped than those guys, good enough hand speed to lead with the left hook and quickly transition back to his shell. It's more to do with not having the IQ to see it.

That said, that was a great performance from Pacquiao and I expected him to dominate.

It's almost like he has a sparring partner mentality lol.

Yes, I know.
They are saying Floyd isn't going to just stand there with earmuffs on and I agree.
That's why IMO sparring will be very important.

Roach should call him up for next month.

Pure fear. That is why he disappeared after the fact. Threw the fight.
