Errr, if anything that was classic Clottey. That's his average output...Did he throw it against Cotto too, afterall he could have won the fight had he just thrown. IMO people are getting desperate. PED's-baseless, rehydration clause-baseless, imaginary email Atlas spoke about - baseless, throwing fights-baseless. Will people actually come out with something legit to try descredit his victories?
Like Berto said during the fight on his Twitter... Clottey isn't fighting back because he has bricks being thrown at him. Pacquiao didn't allow Clottey to get off, due to his movement, speed, power and angles. Pacquiao never let up, his stamina is insane. Pacquiao is not like any fighter Clottey has ever fought, he isn't like any other fighter in the world right now... How can you not see this? You just automatically assume there is foul play? that's a pretty ignorant viewpoint , the viewpoint of someone stupid. Just like many of the extremist religious folks ... they can't explain something or comprehend it in their mind, so they convince themselves that it's too complex for there not to be a creator or a god that is controlling everything.
True. His fight w/ Margarito was close early on, but Margartio isn't a quick starter. He doesn't get going till rounds 4-5. By that time, he can down several points already.
Clottey felt Pacmans power and basically was in survival mode the whole time. I don't think it was because Clottey lacked balls, he just did the best thing he could and basically survive. His jab wasn't bad, but he obviously didn't have any power to badly hurt Pacman. Only way to find out is watch Clottey fight again and see how he performs. He's probably enjoying his paycheck from the Pacman fight.
Perhaps the answer to this is that Clottey is currently a B-level fighter. To make matters worse, a B-level with no heart or balls. Seriously, his biggest wins are against a blown-up lightweight(Diego) and a blown-up jr.welterweight who had seen better days(Judah).
I like watching the 11th round of this fight from time to time. Clottey started throwing more punches more often, and then Manny went right back and blitzed him bad.
Clottey said he'd throw 4 punches to Manny's 30 before the fight. Did exactly what he planned on doing.
