    "@LrakLK: @GMASTERCLOTTEY #AskJoshuaClottey could u beat pacquio in rmatch u think?" yes. there were lot of issue that night out of my hands
    "@JayWoogs: @GMASTERCLOTTEY was you told to lose to Pacquiao because it looked like you was holding back" lots of things going on that night 5:21 PM Apr 3rd via Twitter for BlackBerry®

    "I lost to him, because I have to lose that day"

    "I fear no man but the only thing is, I don't do my job. I don't throw the hands, like if I do, I would have beat him. By the end of the day I can tell everyone I wasn't there because I had a very rough day."

    "Well you see, like I said I'm a bigger guy so any punch I throw at any opponent, it'll cause damage. If what I did with Cotto, I did with Pacquiao... I'm gonna kill him. But what we have to understand is, is off day. I can't change it, is off day. Even if you pray for me... you are in the corner with me and I have an off day, an off day is an off day"
    -------------------------------------------------------------------



    So, what are these "thing" he's talking about? Why doesn't he ever elaborate on them?

    I dont think there is a physical way to twist it to he dropped the fight on purpose.

    But have got to say I thought something was up, thought he would attack a little bit more.

    he claims to have some sort of LBM or diarrhea. that explains why he just covers up upon the assault of pac's 100+ punches a round. if not for that, he could have easily smacked pac's ass.

    Its kinda silly how Clottey was tossed aside after that performance. On his best day, Clottey is a ****ing animal at Welterweight and probably Middleweight. He really took a bite out of Cotto.

    No Sir. If you watch the countdown show that HBO did, 'Road to Dallas' then you see Clottey shell up when he's in the stadium. He's nervous. Understandable when you consider he's from Ghana and his previous largest fight venue was MSG. I think he got to the ring and shelled up. (literally)

    Best part for that whole fight was him dancing to the ring.

    Wait, he said he could literally kill Pac in a fist fight? This is gold.

    All I ever see from Clottey is excuses. Lots of talk about what he can do, then fails to deliver, then comes up with excuse after excuse. Talented fighter, but his failure to apply his talent renders him nothing more than a waste of a pair of boxing gloves... nothing more.
