If Clottey was so good

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Starched Him, Jan 12, 2010.


  1. He didnt appear hurt at all. I think he was off balance, he was still warming up and he got caught perfectly.

    because those 2 fighters were really good too. And when two really good fighters face off, one loses and one wins.

    Dude you're being more than unreasonable.

    In fact you're out of your mind if you think Clottey ain't good.No one is saying he ''is the best''.

    But getting knocked down by a jab while being of balance happens.

    Anything can happen in terms of the jab knockdown.

    This fight typically would interest me, but really I don't give a **** at this point. Floyd vs. Manny had such a build-up that if it doesn't happen, I don't really care what fight gets signed next.

    :? TS, Cotto, like DLH and Barrera, is really a natural left handed guy who is converted to orthodox stance. if you are right handed position yourself into a southpaw stance like Winky Wright and naturally your right handed jab will be much more powerful than your left handed jab.

    Aside from that fact, like other people mentioned elite fighters have been knocked down due to a jab. If Clottey was badly hurt by it, that's a different story. But common sense says Clottey is that good. He almost upset Cotto who's seems to be on the downslide,while Clottey despite him losing seems to be getting better and on the up.

    ANYBODY can get dropped by a jab if there caught off balance..

    Who knows?? the way Pacquiao comes in so agressively and fast,He could possibly get caught off balance and get Dropped by a jab from Clottey

    IT CAN HAPPEN TO "ANYONE"

    PACQUIAO IS OVERRATED! HE IS A HUGE HYPE JOB. AFTER OSCAR LEFT BOXING NEEDED AN EXCITING NEW POSTER BOY aKa a but kissing fool, MANNY FILLED THE SPOT. LOOK AT MANNY S LAST 15 FIGHTS; 7 OF 15 WITH MORALES, BARRERA, AND MARQUEZ. HE LOST 1 TO MORALES, TIED 1 WITH MARQUEZ, AND LOST 1 TO MARQUEZ. HE FOUGHT FASHAN POR THQWATCHAI, VELAZQUEZ, SOLIS, LARIOS, AND DAVID DIAZ ALL BUMS. HE FOUGHT OSCAR AT 147 AND HE WAS DEHYDRATED. OSCAR HAD AN IV AFTER THE WEIGH IN. HE FOUGHT OVERRATED RICKY HATTON WHO GOT KTFO BY MAYWEATHER. HE BEAT A DAMAGED GOODS COTTO WHO HAD BEEN CRUSHED BY MARGACHITO. HE TOOK COTTOS BELT AT A CATCH WEIGHT , WTF IS THAT.

    he is your second favorite fighter eh?

    well son I dont have a favorite fighter I like them all aslong as they dont quit. Cotto is the exception just because I know he is no quitter something was in the gloves that made him not want to get hit anymore like that. he still has the L in my book because he shouldnt have never been getting hit. If he wanted to be Miguel Mayweather that night he should have trained to fight going backwards and wouldnt have gassed. Im done ranting about the cotto loss.

    I have not seen many pac fights. I seen him as the frail kid on youtube not even knowing how to throw his left hand but i turn it off painful **** I dont count that.

    Barerra morales hatton oscar jmm is all i know of pac
    I know this Pac will stop clottey. Trust far as mayweather beating pac its irrelevant even if it may be true, but he not fighting floyd. He fighting a prime fighter that was dropped with a jab. even if he is off balance is that behaviour you would expect for an elite?

    Floyd straight right is to take you out of your rhtym and make you off balance. this clumbsy **** does all the work for you and cotto can just pop the jab.

    Clottey fans will witness pac stop this one he will not ko clottey but the ref will need to save him. Pac for destructions.

    and yes I hope pac kills everybody too so we can get the mayweather showdown and he will begin with Clottey trust

    an elite fighter is a ****ing ACE
    this dosent happen to an elite

    Cotto, Mosley, Mayweather, PW all true Aces
    this dosent happen to them
    I just want you guys to stop building Clottey into something hes not and that is an Ace. Elites dont fall from Jabs They Make lesser oposition fall from Jabs

    :lol: Youre implying that Cotto is several steps above Clottey but if that is the case why was he very lucky to come away with a win?

    If you say Clottey is not elite then Cotto isnt either as they had a very close fight.

    Okay....but who said i was trying to build Clottey up??? Im not trying to do that

    Just in case you didnt know,ive mentioned before that i feel Pacquiao will dominate Clottey and win a very wide UD win

    And Joshua Clottey is an ELITE welterweight!! he proved that in his fight with Cotto,a very close fight that could have very well went in Clotteys favor.
