Sorry to the Pac fans. Pac is an unbelievable fighter, but because of his diva-like demands, the obvious cheating and the fact that HE WON A WW TITLE WITHOUT HAVING THE BALLS TO FIGHT THE CHAMP AT WW, I can't get behind him.
I hope Clottey puts a real beating on him, and I hope Mosley puts a real beating on Floyd, even though I don't see it happening.
I'd rather see guys like Clottey and Mosley get paydays than these guys.
Totally agree. These two need to be toppled, but Manny much more so for me. Him and his camp have been nothing less that extremely dodgy over recent months and I would like nothing more than to see them all humbled and put in their place.
Come on guys don't lose interest for both.
If both lose well Mosley-Clotey is good I guess in reality I dont see any much more excitement in any fighter rather than Floyd-Pac.
Are you guys born under the sign of Taurus? Makes for a great captain for lost causes.:)
I could care less who wins.....i just want to see a good fight. I'm looking to the undercards for that though. Clottey isn't going to all of the sudden change who he is and what he does. High guard, not enough punches, tons of excuses afterward. Not sure if clottey could win even if pac wanted him too. Dude just doesn't have what it takes to fight for 12 rounds, or even 8
diva or not i'd still like to see pac-mayweather.
I don't know if anyone else is feeling this but I'm just getting a strange upset like vibe before this one. Pac probably had a bit of a letdown not fighting mayweather, De Jesus is in Clottey's corner and it's at well the mecca of all sports arena's. I'm still picking Pac off of his obvious advantages but i just have a strange feeling Clottey will perform suoerbly maybe this will be the guy who's finally too big and strong for manny.
Personally I dont think CLottey will win, but hey I can hope can't I?
I truely believe that Clottey is a harder fight for Pac than Mosley is for Mayweather.
I wish Clottey all the luck in the world.
The guy is pure class.
Wow I don't get it, but people seem to have such a strong hate towards ANYONE that proves themselves. Ali, Leonard, Roy JOnes Jr, Whitaker, MAyweather, HOpkins, and now Pacquiao are all hated way more than they should be. Especially with what Mayweather and Pacquiao have done for hte sport, they have made it more popular than even post-defeat Tyson did. They bring a buzz for boxing to the world and they are the greatest fighters in the sport. Who doesn't want them to win and face eachother are doing so purely out of spite, and as a boxing fan you should be ashamed of yourself. Hating somebody purely because some people get carried away in their praises of said fighter is childish. Mayweather and Pacquiao are great fighters who are extremely small welterweights and they could compete with the best welterweights of any era.
IF he had a different mentality I would agree, but Pacquiao is probably hte most determined guy in boxing to win down the stretch, while Clottey has consistently fallen short.Quote:

I cant see Clottey winning in any way tonight, he just doesnt have the skills and attributes compared to Pac. I hope he doesnt win actually. It will move the Mayweather fight a little closer.
As for rooting against Pacquiao every time he fights people root against him cuz of his gay deluded fans. As well of how he reacted over the Mayweather saga. But I feel it werent all his fault the Mayweather fight never happened.
Floyd is a natural welterweight. He obviously isn't the size of Clottey, Margarito, etc but those guys are huge for the weight. If the guy wasn't a natural welterweight he would of made 144 against Marquez but he couldn't.Quote:

He has to eat crazy amount of calories to get close to 147 and so far he has always been under.
I'm not!! I like Clottey but I like boxing more and a Pac-Mayweather fight has the potential to launch boxing back into the glory days of old more than any other potential fight around at the moment, providing neither lose that is!!
and it's not gonna happen regardless of if Pacquiao wins tonight, this fight IMO isn't gonna do big PPV numbers, and i'm pretty damn sure Mayweather/Mosley will break a million buys, so due to that the fight wont happen because of money, and the original prob, cause Pacquiao is still gonna pussy out of the drug testsQuote:
