Pacquiao vs. Clottey confirmed today?

[Oggie]

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.

yup read it on yahoo, hope Clottey brutally stops him

[Taeth]

Unfortunately Clottey doesn't have the offensive arsenal to do that, and he doesn't throw enough punches when the going gets tough, and he is too stationary of a target, even though he has tremendous defensive skills, Manny won't likely be landing on Clottey the same way he has on his recent previous opponents, but I just don't think Clottey has the determination to beat Manny even if he has the technical and physical abilities to do so. 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 Clottey

That simple? I wish Floyd just said yes in the first place

Clottey is a very good Welter and I think it's a very dangerous fight.

[Oggie]

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.

it kinda seems like this was Pacquiao and Arum's plan from the get go

Top Rank know their fighters inside out. There's no way they'd risk putting Clottey in with golden egg Manny if he had any chance of beating him. I hope they've got it spectacularly wrong though.
