    Manny is massively underrated by some people.
    It is possible that he was paid to lose the fight. But do you know whats more possible, that he just couldn't get his shots off.

    Pacman, through 1200 shots, they were hard and fast. Clottey said everytime he dropped his guard he got hit. I think Manny just scared him into not wanting to punch.

    If he was paid to lose, he wouldn't have chose to lose every single round and look like an idiot, he would have just lost the fight.

    im not saying that bob paid him off but i can imagine him saying you better not **** up plans for the pac maywethaer fight later in the year otherwise i will make things difficult for you and you will not get another title fight or any decent fights again

    i was on the scene, and he did an interview. he told the interviewee that too many things haPPENED in the build up to the fight that im shocked and apppaled happened, and for obvious reasons i cant state them on air but i will tell you afterwards

    this is exact;ly what clottey said. this sounds suspicious

    what the **** could have gone on?

    u tell me

    Exactly! Clottey was exchanging with Cotto and throwing back and forth with him. He was really letting his hands go that night. If he wasn't paid not to be Pac it would have been a very entertaining fight and we would have seen at least a knock down or two.

    Why not? Hell he did such of a good job of losing Bob Arum gave him a Bonus after the fight. Why would he get a Bonus for that **** poor effort??? Cause he did exactly what Bob Arum wanted him to do.

    There have been many catchweight fights by many great fighters, Cotto accepted it and physically was able to do it. In the end anything above 140 is considered welterweight, if it wasn't welterweight then the commission would get involved but they're not because that's a deal between two teams which is legal.

    hey genius, you forgot to add Oskie. He's not throwing punch either and it's much worse actually. did arum pay Oskie as well?

    every time Pac fights (since Diaz), he butchers them all and still it has nothing to do with how Manny fights. Enough with your hating and be objective some times.

    I may be the village idiot, but I'm not that big of an idiot. :lol: Floyd whips them both without losing a round.

    Hold on a minute...did you just imply that Bradley's in the same class as Mayweather?

    Bradley would change his tune sharpish if Abregu bashes him around, he's not exactly a big 140lber after all
