This backlash against clottey is a disgrace

Virtually nobody gave Joshua Clottey a chance at victory, and a large proportion of people here were claiming he would not make the distance. I think he landed with more clean shots on Manny Pacquiao then Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Miguel Cotto managed too. Those inside left uppercuts were getting through flush and particuarly early on, the jab and right hand was working. I gave him round 3 because I think he inflicted the more damage, and looking at Manny's face after 12, he'd be inclined to agree with me. Clottey performed well, and Manny was finally made to work hard for a win again.

 

This forum is full of turncoat **** stains.

 

Clottey fought like Clottey, but at some point he should have put more on the line. Its not his style though

 

Here is the problem though. Everybody respects Clottey. He is a tough guy. But he didn't come into this fight to win, it is as simple as that. When you are fighting for millions of dollars you should at least try to go out and win. That is what seperates the greats from the goods. Remember this is boxing, a very brutal sport, but it also a sport where you have to lay it on the line to win. Clottey while very tough is not a great fighter.

 

I thought Clottey would win & i'am a pac fan, but i'am not blind as Clottey who like the rest of Pac's victims just could'nt/can't find an answer to Pac. I'am just amazed at pac's perfomance last night, ****in incredible!! for a little feller!!

But any slagging down of Clottey is only to be expected from the Void joyboys who all know that there hero will get wiped out once that gutless ******* man's up & gets into the ring.

 

Cotto went out like a warrior. Clottey went out on his shield, big difference.

 

I knew what sort of a fight this would be, thats why I didn't stay up for it, so nothing against either from me as I like both of em, but they both fought the way the way usually do, stylewise I never thought it would be a good fight.

 

most likely being his last chance at doing anything in the sport, he didn't give it that extra 10%

you don't often get many chances as a top level boxer, and he has gotten more than most...he squandered his last chance behind a tight high guard


i would compare him to collazo, as far as getting a decent amount of chances, but coming up short...but collazo actually gave it his all, and put it all on the line

 

Cotto went off to hospital. Clottey went out with his face infact. Big difference.

 

Clotteys balls fell in the ring though.

They can put Usein Bolt in the ring he is going to run for 12 round from Pac without taking a punch. Boxing is about people trying their best to win and eventuelly they can finish in the hospital. It's bad for them (but they are well paid to do it) but it's good for the fans. Last night fight was a robbery to all the people that bought the PPV
