The Clottey shed light on the fact...

That Manny really doesn't have an answer for a defensive fighter. I believe this fight exposed him more than help his case as a great fighter. One, Clottey landed plush lead rights, jabs and uppercuts riddled with left hook, straight right combinations throughout the fight. He like Floyd does to southpaws went with the high guard while stalking Manny. Now I understand a lot of you are going to look at this as nonsense, but I implore you to watch the fight in it's entirety before giving me **** lmao.

Manny's only answer was to out work Clottey by throwing a career high 1200+ power punches which we all know due to magical unresolved circumstances, he can't do anymore. It is documented though that Clottey was able to make Manny not land virtually 1000 punches in the fight and understand this was optimum Manny Pacquiao. The odd angles that are talked about in possession of our FOTD and 8 division champ were not present in that fight.

Manny was even reduced to the Shane Mosley role of giving the opposition dap which is a slight form of showing your opponent to much respect. Understand this was just against a guy that does not employ movement but actually stood in front of Manny for the entire fight. Floyd is far more dynamic in terms of blocking and avoiding punches than Clottey.

In conclusion, I believe more than ever that this event will be the most anticlimactic match in the history of the sport. Floyd is going to really make this fight a cake walk. Clottey is the most defensive fighter Manny has ever faced in his career. His lack of experience in a variety of opponents coupled with lower ring IQ, fundamentals and slew of other disadvantages are really a spelling of his final doom. I respect everyone's opinion but I just don't see this any other way.

Hey, I took your word and just finished watching that fight. I see exactly what you're talking about and it's spot on. His output and them peds he was being given without his knowledge is what kept him in and winning the fight. Clotty was hitting with some shots that should have at least knocked him down. Them peds kept him up and swinging. Clottey still had him shook on a couple of occasions and he is no where near the tactician that Mayweather is. Pac is not on them peds anymore and his ass is in some real trouble May2nd. Thanks for the insight.:good

umm i dont know man i think pac was fine hitting his shell for 12 rounds.. i mean pac took no punishment and won easily on the scorecards.. defense does not win you rounds or fights if you stay in your shell the whole time while your opponent lands 1 clean punch out of 10 because you aient throwing **** back ..

what a STRANGE THREAD!

Pacquiao won 120-108, 119-109, 119-109.. Clottey barely won 2 rounds out of 36 scored rounds!

THIS FIGHT SHOWS DEFENSIVE FIGHTERS HAVE NO CHANCE... Pacquiao outworks them and overwhelmes them. Clottey couldn't do squat so he resorted to get more and more defensive, Pacquiao won in dominant fashion. LOL

What a weird thread!

mark my words on this prediction - IF Foyd Mayweather fights too defensively and pot shots here and there, HE WILL LOSE. Floyd Mayweather will absolutely need to use his offensive skills more than ever.
