    So you get a chance to fight the #1 fighter in the world and you don't even try??? U know what kind of a fighter your going against, no suprise but u don't even try? I know they understood that Manny was gonna bring it offensively, but u don't even throw any combinations at all?? It is your last chance.....Your Last Dance....Tonight!!!!!!!! (oh sorry for the Song at the end) LMFAO couldn't help myself....LMFAO:rofl:rofl:rofl:patsch:patsch:patsch


    Clottey will never see another Pay Day again... ARUM better get him to fight Margarito again.. because its over for him!!!

    The biggest stage and u make yourself unmarketable...

    NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING FROM MANNY!!!! GREAT FIGHTER!!! THE BEST!!!


    BUT [C'MON SON!!!!] lmao

    I agree.

    I respect guys like Miguel Espino who get their shot and are willing to get knocked out in order to try to win. Espino went right at Pavlik and took chances. Everyone bashes Peter McNeeley, but I respect his effort more than some other guys Tyson fought. McNeeley came right at Tyson swinging. He was just terribly overmatched. Better effort than the likes of Boneclutcher Smith, a world champ who just looked to not get KO'd.

    It's true. You're never going to have a Buster Douglas moment like that when you fight like that. Maybe Douglas wasn't over-matched but simply never put it all together... and that need he did. But you'll never know unless you go all out. You can still do this while fighting intelligently. It was disappointing. What are you going to do...

    The word "offense" is not in Clottey's vocabulary. He threw a few good combinations and upper cuts but then he would go back in his defensive shell. This is typical of Clottey.

    I hate to say it but this is why UFC is winning the overall war right now.. Because fighters bring it when they step up to the plate against Top Level fighters!!!

    I love boxing.. Been boxing since i was 8yrs old but i can see why its starting to become 2nd in combat sports

    I respectfully and totally disagree. Boxing is second to none in combat sports and UFC is "NOT" winning the overall war w/boxing.

    His style is not going to change overnight so I don't understand the fuss. Clottey fought like Clottey and Pacquiao fought like Pacquiao.
