Just saw Clottey vs Chico for the 1st time...
- Thread starter Tony
- Start date
1. That fight was in 2007.
2. Chico weighed in at 149 pounds. 15 pounds heavier then his best weight.
3. Chico was a 135 pounder, not a 150 pounder.
4. Chico was about a shot fight at that time. He lost three fights in a row (KO loss to Castillo 4 rounds at 135 pounds, decision loss to Casamayor at 140 pounds, and then Clottey at 150 pounds).
5. Comparing Chico to pacquiao is emberrassing. Chico was a warrior an all guts no glory a arturo gatti type of fighter, but never even remotely close to pacquiao type of fighter.
6. Mayweather vs Chico. Did you see it? Floyd knocked Chico down 5 times in that fight stopping him in the 10th making Chico look almost worse than Gatti which is pretty hard to do.
7. Clottey vs Margarito. Did you see it? Margarito owns the compubox record for most punches thrown in a fight. That is how you beat a Clottey, with that Winky Wright turtle like shell defense - throw punches. Pacquiao beat Clottey the same way margarito did it - by volume punching. You throw 100 punches per round and Clottey wont know what to do but cover up in a shell. It's the same way Paul Williams beat Winky Wright, who is even better at that defense than Clottey is.
8. Styles make fights. You should know this tony. You put someone like Chico, who is a career 130-135 pounder, who comes forward who has no defense at all and is not a volume puncher against Clottey, he's going to look good. You put someone in front of Clottey who can use lateral movement, hast the stamina to throw 100 punches per round for 12 rounds, Clottey is going to look like shit.
