Clottey said Pacquiao doesn't hit hard then why he's reluctant to engage?

[toe2toe]

Is Clottey reluctant to engage? Afraid to engage? Or has less openings to engage?

Pacquiao just doesn't give time to engage...Look at most fighters or fights...One guy gets off with his combo steps back resets in the meantime looks to avoid getting hit....

With Manny he throws 5,6,7,8 or more punches at a time and just as he steps back he is in again...He never stops coming add that with speed you miss and it allws him to get in 2 or 3 clear shots w no defense to cushion the blow...Just too much at one time

Not re-watched the fight sober yet but although I was annoyed at Clottey for covering up and throwing nothing at all, Pac did make it very difficult for him. Literally every time Glottey dropped his shoulders to throw something Pac was already on him. Pac gives you absolutely no time at all...

Where as Pac may not hit as hard as other fighters at this weight/level he's definietly one of if not the quickest! This more than makes up for any supposed lack of power.

On a side note, has the tread starter got a link to this comment as I haven't read that anywhere? A good judge of Pac's power would be Cotto and do remember him saying how surprised he was at Pac's power...

Pacquiao is extremely fast.

Pacquiao's speed, workrate and angles is what overwhelmed Clottey.

Not his power.

Clottey is in no position to comment on Pacquiao.
