Manny would break his will to win, and would outwork Clottey down the stretch.

    I actually think Clottey has pretty oustanding handspeed, excellent combinations, and a granite chin behind that excellent defense, but I don't think he has the will to win tough fights, and thats what seperates him from the elite fighters.
    Clottey's handspeed is seriously underated.

    Clottey is probably a bit too big and a bit to tough for Pac but you never know, Pac has a better workrate than Cotto and I think Cotto only just beat Clottey(with a nasty cut granted)so in theory you would think Pac could do the same.

    I think Clottey has all the tools to win comfortably but for some reason he just doesn't step it up in big fights that he could very well win. I know against Margarito he supposedly broke his hand. He was winning that fight and had control. Then he let up. But against Cotto he could have possibly stopped Cotto had he brought up the pace. For some reason Clottey just didn't want to fight hard. Clottey looked like the better fighter but just wasn't pulling the trigger. Cotto plainly won by outgutting Clottey in that fight. I have no more confidence in Clottey in big fights.

    We all saw him got knocked down from Cotto's jab. Pac would slice and dice him. Another 1-sided bloodbath.

    And we saw Mayweather serve Marquez on a platter who all but has Pac's number. So you agree that Floyd will win, yes?

    Pac fought Marquez twice at their best division (126 and 130). Floyd didn't fight Marquez at 135 which is Juan's best div. And oh. Floyd didn't even make the weight.

    Blah, blah, blah, your circular thinking doesn't make sense and that's why you didn't answer my question. So Pac is out of his best division and Clottey should beat him because 147 is his best division, yes?

    Pacman beat Marquez respectably...and by that I mean coming at the weight he agreed upon, and having himself weighed just before the fight. Not coming in overweight so he could have the advantage, and then keeping pre fight weight a secret before the fight. Pac-man beats Clottey hands down. Clottey would sit there and let Pac-man whale on him and 1 or 6 of those punches is gonna get through. I hope pac-man puts in the contract for his fight with mayweather that floyd HAS to come in at the agreed upon weight, no excuses, no acceptions. What floyd did by not making weight in that last fight was very disrespectful to Marquez

    Clottey went on the attack, was off balance and Cotto timed a really good jab.

    Clottey was nowhere near hurt from the shot and Pacquiao doesn't have Cotto's jab anyway.

    Pacquiao would slice and dice him and win another 1 sided beatdown ? Are you kidding ?

    Clottey is seriously hard to hit and is durable as hell, I don't see Pacquiao landing alot plus i see Clottey having alot of success with his combos which are seriously underated.

    Pacquiao's only way to beat Clottey is to move, throw in spurts and repeat.

    To beat Clottey you need to outwork him.

    yeah, too many pac fans seem to believe if one guy can do something ... pac can automatically do it better, cotto has one of the best jabs in boxing at the moment, he caught clottey sharp as he was coming in

    pac's jab doesnt carry enough to do this

    Im a big fan of Cotto's but everything he can do, Pac did it better. Pacquiao has much more head jolting power and he prooved it, so your statement really doesnt make any since. Pacquiao would tee off on Clottey all night for a Dominant UD.
