Just saw this on ESPN.com.
Set for the new Cowboy's Stadium.
I hope Clottey thoroughly flattens him after this whole drug-test debacle. :mad:

I mean Clottey has a great jaw, he has great technique, and he has very fast hands, but his style is all wrong against Manny.
plus throw in that Pacquiao is juicing and it basically spells out "YOU'RE FUCKED" for ClotteyQuote:

Seems like a bold move to stick it in a massive stadium like the Cowboy's one, I mean, Clottey is an unknown to the general Joe. I could understand it for a fight with Mayweather, but not Clottey.
My heart says Clottey batters Manny from pillar to post in humiliating fashion, but my head says Manny blitzes him with shots en-route to a clear enough decision. I'd love if I was wrong though, haven't been so annoyed by a fighter for quite some time as I am with Manny right now. :mad:
it kinda seems like this was Pacquiao and Arum's plan from the get goQuote:

I dont mind this fight at all really.Think Clottey is extremely live in it.Clear indicator....no matter the iffy and rancorous way it came about....that Manny is in the drivers seat.What Floyds million dollor option?A mega clash with Paulie...good luck with that......or its all one huge bluff and they are high fiving one another behind closed doors,TBA in a few weeks :-X
hell neither of those fights should be PPV :-\Quote:

I just can't see Clottey beating Pac. I guess the paycheck looked nice enough to make Clottey and his team not care about Pac's blood being tested.
Wow. Amazing how quickly things change. Here were some of us thinking this whole back and forth between Pac and Floyd was a publicity stunt...but that eventually the fight would get signed. I have to say...even though Floyd is no angel...Pac and his team have lost all credibility after this debacle. Fair or not...the PED question will linger over Pac for the rest of his career. If i was a fighter under any sort of suspicion...and had nothing to hide...i would allow the most advanced test to be administered (muscle biopsy being the highest on the list). The negative results would shut up all the doubters. But unfortunately...PED's are a modern reality. Thorough and advanced testing would reveal how deep the problem is. And that would not only be a major embarrassment to the athletes...but to their sports organizing bodies, to their sponsors, etc. The current system is a complete joke...and guys like Pac are particularly bad at their public relations.
Once Team Pac wins the lawsuit, the general public will forget all about it though ;DQuote:

Plus Pacquiao further proved my point with his claims that the bout should be at 144, if it goes on as scheduled Clottey will fit Manny's requirements of being an acceptable opponent, in other words completely weight drained;DQuote:

Pacquiao will school Clottey all 12 rounds to a Dominant UD. Anyone who thinks Clottey wins this is just bitter about the drug test bull crap and its just wishful thinking to think Clottey wins this.
no one is saying that Clottey will win, he's gonna be weight drained (seeing how Manny wants it to be at 144), so obviously Pacquiao is gonna win, everyone is just simply stating how big of a bitch Pacquiao is for pussying out of the Mayweather fight and for basically giving the clear impression that he's a fraud and a cheater ;DQuote:

There should be a new weight division called. It should be called "Mannyweight".
Mannyweight is when a superstar boxer dictate these terms to weight drain opponents. Sugar Ray Leonard (Lalonde) started it in the 80s, De La Hoya in the 2000s (Hopkins), now Manny is carrying on the tradition of being a b-itch.
Riddle me this - why wouldnt he fight Cotto at 147? :confused:Quote:
