I like this fight and think it may surprise some.May.The major thing is that Clottey has some outstanding physical tools but frankly no burning intense fire and desire.Without that he will lose to Manny.He goes somewhat limp,be it easing off Alvarez and going through the motions,nearly sobbing and sounding as if he wanted to quit on his stool in between the 9th round vs Margarito...yeah,yeah,hurt hands I know.He had em going in and Margarito was also with injury going in,easing off a bloodied and wilting Cotto late in their fight...falling all over and laying on canvas like some Hollywood harlot.He has size,great tight defense,respectable pop,a solid beard and a HUGE opportunity,but I think he'll again allow himself and find a way to fall short and not maximize his tools.And he also will not be able to match that buzz saw that is Manny Pacqioua and most certainly wont match his intensity.

I would not totally right him off,but he'll have to punch 'with' Pac.Not just prior....or after....but with,in between his rushes and earn his respect.If you do not earm Pacs respect he'll go jail house master on you and bust you up ,inside and out.Make you doubt.I think he has a slim chance,hes no walk over but as the rounds and pressure build,I think he'll become more happy to just be sharing the spotlight and payday rather than actually claim it for himself.Hope I'm wrong.
