    It was more of Clottey being off balance...He got hit with everything and the kitchen sink and still lasted to fight till the 12th round!

    I doubt anybody can question his chin!

    You're kind of making this 10x harder on yourself.

    You could just say "If Clottey was so good, How come he lost to the two best fighters he ever fought and his best win is a shot Zab Judah?"

    exactly, i dont get these esb punks saying pac will walk all over clottey.

    watch clottey give pac all he can handle and next day we will see threads titles 'pac has been exposed'.

    Clottey could have gotten the decision over Cotto. This fight should be very decent at least.

    See my Point Good but they aint The Best
    Look what Roy did to Toney both Prime Fighters Good but not the best

    Dawson He use to look unbeatable with Senior when he was 24 I bring this up but folk here say it was his oponets cant argue it being calslappy would own him in his current state and Johnson did own him. Id say dawson prime left with his trainer

    Could this be done to a Prime Pac? Like this occured with a prime clottey in the biggest fight of his life?

    Cotto has dropped multiple people with his jab.
    It's one of the best jabs in boxing.

    how long have you been watching boxing ?

    do you follow as many fighters as possible or just fighters you like or maybe just manny.

    clottey is a beast and can give any ww the bussiness.clottey has a chin and he never gets hurt, if he lands on manny he will hurt manny.

    clottely is a southpaw as well, very strong and big.good speed and very tuff defence to break.i think clottey can break down manny.clottely problem is he does not fight with enough urgency.hit let cotto off the hook, when he could have stoped him.

    if clottey would pick up the pace and not settle for less, he would do better.manny can win a hard fought points win over clottey if he can take it.but im not sure how much he will have to give after what he gets from clottey.

    i want manny to beat everyone untill mayweather is only left.so when maymweather beats him we can all say floyd was the one to do it.so im root for manny in every fight until he gets in there with floyd.

    i guess he's my 2nd fav fighter go figgure:lol:

    Exactly, if anything can be questioned then it's Clottey's balance, footwork and concentration. The knock down was was not due to Clottey's chin. Shows how much insight some people on here have.

    It's bit like your car stopping because of a flat tire and then blaming it on the engine.
