    No

    Pac was the favorite to win the fight. Pac dominated cotto who beat clottey. It's not a surprise pac won and dominated the fight. Clottey fought not to get knockout just like mosley did once he felt pac's power.:deal

    that clottey fight was definitely fixed. clottey threw 3 punches all night and pac's face was messed up. and like you said, he hasn't fought again yet. he got paid a ton to toss that fight. pacquiao didn't land ****. philla's just a nuthugger who thinks pacquiao is the GOAT. that big headed ******* couldn't do **** with clottey. that was just marketing. the small super hero vs. everybody's worse nightmare (a big buff black guy). and it worked

    If the fight was fixed, then why didn't Clottey take a dive? This was an ugly win for Pac and not and not an entertaining fight, so if the way that it ended was fixed then the fixer should be fired.

    Who exactly would want to fix it to make Pac get marked up like that?

    People really need to think this through. If TR fixed the fight, then what did Bob have to gain by staging a boring fight? If Pac fixed it, then why did he subject himself to so much punishment? No, this fight wasn't fixed, unless you mean by "fixed" that Clottey decided going in that he'd do as little as he could to earn a paycheck and do as much work as he could to keep himself out of harm's way at the same time.

    I seen Clottey on Ghanian Tv and he admitted he didn't fight the best he could have. I dunno but the fight did look suspect. Some people who are unbiased believe the fight was fixed.

    Many fighters who lose say that they didn't fight the best that could. A truly "unbiased" observer would say that this is insufficient even to reasonably support a suspicion of fixing.

    "I lost to Pacman, because I had to lose that day".....Clottey on Ghana TV.

    This might deserve a response only after you post a link.
