    Weird fight really, Clottey I don't think was going to get hurt he should of took more risks, but the fight went the way the majority thought it would.

    If the Mayweather fight goes ahead I think Pac has a good shot with his workrate, but saying that Pac is not that hard to hit, I change my mind daily to which way it goes.

    I think all the fights had the same 'problem' for want of a better word. I thought they were all good matchups but the old "styles make fights" thing seemed to be pervasive in all the fights. All the fights were enjoyable for me and I got something from them all but I can see how a lot wouldn't have felt it lived up to the hype. Thing is though they never do. I thought though all the guys who won were very good and certainly worth watching.

    As do I

    I watch Floyd fight, I think he will loose.
    I then watch Manny fight, I then think HE will loose....

    Floyd is susceptible to Manny's extraordinary and unconventional leftyness. ( )
    Manny is so damn hittable when kept on a string.

    LOL I have done the same thing...

    I think Manny because he is so damn quick and he never stops not just with hands but his feet as well

    I think Floyd because he always manages to time the other guys eventually and catch them at the right time

    Just My opinion

    If Clottey opens up more. He'll be more vulnerable to damaging shots and its more likely that he get stopped because Pac has the faster hands.

    The boxing community thinks that Clottey shouldve took more risk and get kayoed.

    Clottey on the other hand who was the one in there decided that its futile because of pac's faster combination. Again if he opens up more the bigger the chance he'll get stopped which what clottey believed given that he experienced how it is to be there in front of Pacquiao. And he didnt have one punch KO type of power anyway.

    Which is why it was a boring fight, in fact in the first four rounds Pacquiao had thrown 397 punches, which was close to Clottey's 399 total for the whole fight. This was exactly what was expected by the majority of the boxing public though. So it's no surprise.

    Yes the fight went the way everyone thought it would. This is why it was widely met with disapointment when it was announced because everyone knew it would be a boring fight with Clottey putting his hands up and Pac being too quick.

    The only question was could Pac stop or drop Clottey and he couldnt do either so in that aspect it was a letdown but other than that it was entirely predictable. Anyways below is Joshuas statement

    I can,t believe i get a very BAD day when i fought PACQUIAO maybe cos of the running stomach i get the day of the fight but anyway AM sorry my FANS please you guys should FORGIVE and FORGET next time GOD,ALLAH will give me goodday thanks

    Any news on the PPV figures. I have read Arum expect 900,000 to a million, but then again it is Arum talking and seems to do more bs'ing than anything else. If this is the case though that would be HUGE. No 24/7, pretty much no build up at all. We will see I guess
