    You are right. He didn't do it 'beyond reasonable doubt'. He shouldn't have let the 11th and 12th be close.

    He did win the fight, if we are to be fair. But he lost the decision. This is boxing. It is a business and considering the occasion, location and promoter he should have gone for broke the last two rounds.

    Even Cotto knows within himself that he's not as good as Clottey but that doesn't count.

    It's good you mentioned Azumah Nelson because believe it or not, he was behind on the official scorecards by the point in the fight he stopped Gomez. If you watch that fight you'd understand what it means to 'take your own referee and judge into the ring' as Azumah says.

    Clottey has to use this same attitude in this fight if he want to win because it's either he KOs Pac or completely dominates him over 12 rounds(even that might not be enough).

    He is aware of that and though I'm very confident in his ability to win the fight fairly, I just doubt he can do it in a way that ensures he'll not be robbed.
