Clottey Getting Knocked Down By A Jab = Disgrace

This thread is laughable.
So someone getting caught off balance the being hit, meaning they fall on there arse is a disgrace? It was a flash knockdown and Clottey wasn't hurt at all.

 

Rico=Zakman=ShatteredGlass=Dickless Moron

:huh In what way?

WHo am i nuthugging? What are you talking about? I noticed you always throw that (big strong defense you have...). I'm just wondering who i am nuthugging.

You just don't know what to say. Shop for a new brain please.

 

This IP based logic? :think

 

I'm not so sure that showing a video of Chuvalo getting repeatedly hit by huge punches from a fighter considered one of the best punchers in the history of boxing does anything but reinforce the fact that Chuvalo had a granite chin.
However, I believe the same argument can be made for Hagler. I don't think the sole determining factor in a chin debate has to be whether or not a fighter ever went to the canvas.
Hagler was more hurt against Hearns (albeit very briefly), but he stayed on his feet.

 

It's as if you guys did not see the fight.

Clottey was caught off balance, fell down, got up and was visibly furious at the fact that he even touched the canvas.

He wasn't remotely hurt by the punch.

 

Oh no. Rico has gone and done it again...

 

he was off balance when cotto hits him with a jab...

 

this thread is a disgrace

 

The significance behind the knockdown is largely irrelevant if you're solely discussing whether it's a disgrace or not, or whether Clottey has an iron chin or not, or what constitutes an off balance knockdown, etc.
The only thing that really matter is that it was a knockdown, and it played a role in the fight as Clottey could have won that round if it hadn't happened. Instead, it put him 2 points down early on.

It actually raises another issue, and that's whether or not a fighter should automatically get a 10-8 round when he knocks a guy down. If the guy who got knocked down was winning the round up until just before the bell when the knockdown occurred, I'd much rather see a 10-9 round instead of 10-8. Anyways, that's a whole other topic.

 

Cotto's jab is stronger than his right hand

 

Because you are backing a dead horse and just find new ways to be wrong. This happens all the time in boxing. There is a difference between going down because of a balance issue and going down because you are in la la land.
