Clottey did’t engage in the fight simply because Manny pressure him not to do so. he didn’t cope up the barage of punches he is getting and definitely he will fall down if he didn’t cover. Just watch clottey previous fight he used to engage in exchange because he is not tht pressure as what Manny does.

Clottey was unknown for a reason, he’s not that good.

Stu, Pacquaio holds a meaningless paper title at welterweight. When he knocked out Hatton, he won the lineal and The Ring 140 title. At welter, he’s one of many paper beltholders, and The Ring currently has Clottey rated as the #6 welter in the world. At 140, he’s the real champ, and Bradley is his #1 contender. The Ring approached Pac about vacating the 140 strap because he has yet to defend it. Pac told them he wanted to keep the title, and that he would be defending it. If Pac wasn’t gonna fight a superfight, he should have defended his real title against the #1 contender, and that’s Bradley. Go to The Ring’s website, which is ringtv.com, and you’ll be able to look up the most legitimate ratings in boxing today.

that is the last pacman match people will buy. people will not pay to see him beat loosers of matches anymore. hatton, delahoya, cotto, clottey. all had come off loses b4 facin pacman. pacman needs to start matchin up with the winners of matches not the loosers. i dont care who he matches up with. dont need to be floyd but cant be antonio who was destroyed by mosley. people will not watch. public is fooled no more. step in with the best. at 140 if he wont match up with floyd mosley or pw. no more of this class b welt set ups. abrum is killin that boys carear.

bradley isn’t pac’s no.1 contender. he isn’t rated at all at welter. the no.1 contender for pac’s title was clottey.

You have your facts wrong. “Pacquiao honestly thought Clottey would fight any differently than he did last night, than they either never watched Clottey fight”. I’ve seen Clottey’s previous fights – all of them were competitive. Is there knowledgeable writer on this site???

It seems like the Pactards are overly excited about this win. Stating that Mayweather-Pacquaio would be similar. That is crazy. Clottey is good defensively. But, his defense doesn’t transfer into offense. Clottey simply covers up and waits for his opponent to stop punching, then he tries to stalk them. Mayweather makes his opponents miss, then he makes them pay. Mayweather is by far the best counterpuncher in the game. Pac can’t be as active against Mayweather because he’ll open himself to be countered to hell and back. Truth is, Pac’s last two fights have made me give him even less of a chance against Mayweather. He’s walked away from each fight with his face busted up, and even suffered a busted eardrum against Cotto. The question people should be asking is, if slow handed fighters like Cotto and Clottey were able to land at will on Pac, what will a fast handed guy like Mayweather do to him?

jingles please explain to me as to why Floyd would be afraid of Manny? Let’s look at Floyd’s analysis on fighting Mosley…”Mosley has already been beaten so there is a blueprint to beat him” Now lets change the players and it reads like this “Pac has already been beaten so there is a blueprint to beat him” Do you see my point here? Floyd in all his confidence is not concerned with someone who has already lost because as the best in the game..his mentality is “if such and such can beat Pac/Mosley, I can beat them because I am the best in the game” That is how Floyd thinks so to say that he is afraid of Pac is ridiculous.

It was so one sided but it wasn’t Manny’s fault. And I believe strongly that a Pacman vs. Mayweather fight would look the same…

Pacquiao won’t fight Mayweather until he’s ready to give up his P4P crown.

You can say what ever you want but if you miss anything close to 1,000 punches against Mayweather one of your eyes will closed the f*ck up.

@dayyammmm

You should look at the events leading up to the matches. It’s not like Pacquiao is avoiding Floyd or Mayweather because he verbally told that he wants to fight the winner of the upcoming fight between the 2.

As you can see, he cannot fight all this boxers at the same time. Eventually, he needs to choose first who is feasible on that time.

After beating Hatton, Cotto was the most feasible fight after winning against Clottey. Why, because Cotto has the belt while Mosley hasn’t. Mosley dosn’t have the belt yet. And Arum already planned a match for pacquiao against whoever wins in the Clottey vs. Cotto fight. That’s the reason why Arum invited Pacquiao to watcth the fight. And it’s easy to create the match because all fighters are under Top Rank. That’s the side of business you know.

Again, after the Mayweather-Paqcuiao failed, Arum hurriedly found another fighter because the planned date is nearing and probably, in Arum’s disgust with Mayweather wants to show that they don’t need Mayweather and what better way to search for but in your own backyard.

When they announced that it was Clottey, The Mosley-Berto fight was not yet cancelled. If it was cancelled earlier than that, I guess they would chase for Mosley fight.

So Mayweather was left with no dancing partner and he was left to find an opponent that would upstage the Pacquiao-Clottey fight.

I know there are lots of possible matchupst that would upstage it, like Williams, but the question is would Mayweather fight them. I guess not.

Since Mosley-Berto was cancelled, a possible earnings for the DLH promotion is on the brink so what’s the wisest decision for DLH but to push for this one, and I know that this can definitely upstage the pacquiao-clottey fight. It’s a wise decision indeed.

Now, I would love to see Mosley win so the Mayweather hoopla will end. Besides, I know the Mosley-Pacquiao fight is more exciting than a fight with Mayweather. Even I’m a pacman fan, I give Mosley a chance of beating pacman. This is surely not a walk-in-the-park for pacman.
