When Pacquiao wasn't on his case, he did throw and land.

Throughout the fight though, Clottey was simply not able to fight at the pace Pacquiao was, and Pacquiao's footwork and speed made it harder for Clottey to close the gap.
Manny's speed was obviously a major factor, he was throwing so many punches I bet Clottey thought he was surrounded at times. It doesnt mean that Clottey couldnt use his strength to try and close the distance, push Manny back behind his 'Winky' style guard and look to get off first.
exactly, why the hell didn't he try to time Pacquiao's shots? i mean all he did was cover up and walk around, IMO he didn't really even put an effort, he had more success in the last 2 rounds and it wasn't due to Pacquiao getting tired (cause he never did), he was the bigger guy yet he never used his size, never even tried to, smaller guys like Cotto and Hatton managed to push Pacquiao to the ropes yet Clottey was the one who laid there to get banged, utter bullshit
