No, that's Clottey's style. Turtles up in that shell and then responds once the punching stops. Don't give him a change to respond, he stays in his shell. That's exactly what Pac did, he threw almost twice as many punches to than his normal fights to keep Clottey in his shell.

Yeah... but no. There a reason a fighter as good as Clottey has been blackballed from the industry by the executives at the highest level. Dude didn't sincerely try to win, and it made boxing look bad. He's been blackballed because of it, in a world of Zab Judah's and Luis Collazo's, because those guys at least give an honest effort and put on a show. Look at the faces of the two post fight. Clottey could had afforded to have given more, even at the expense of taking more. His lack of effort was easy to see, and earned him a lifetime ban. You could tell he had some type of heart and emotion vs Cotto even in the decision, but Pac, not so much.

Obvious troll thread. And Manny beat Floyd, and every non bias fan that actually scored the fight based on boxing, scored it for Manny, and still have Manny winning the fight.

Lifetime ban?!? http://boxrec.com/boxer/9300 Had 5 more fights over the next 4 years. Dude was at the end of his career (being in his mid 30's) and would never make much more money fighting nobodies and was never a draw for the big names, especially after 2 big losses.

If you want to act like 4 box rec level fights no one cares or knows about refutes my point, there's no point in arguing really.

Seems like Clottey only tried for almost 2 minutes before he said f it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4zbUAuixD8 (18:05 of that video/1:02 left in the first round in case link doesn't work) if you look at that it seems Clottey, like you said, just didn't give the effort afterwards

You said lifetime ban...that would indicate 0 matches in US...I provided info that showed he fought 4 more times...you're right, there is no arguing, you're wrong.
