Clottey's workrate could be his downfall because Pacquiao is an offensive manchine who can punch constantly for 12 rounds.
How many times do we have to heed the lessons of the past to look at the bright light?

Clottey is just the same as cotto. diaz. hatton. de la hoya. a guy who goes straight to his foes. That's what pac wants. and he's going to get brutalized by pac while pac is giving him different angles. A tight guard doe'snt mean a thing when your opponent is faster than you and has great footwork. Those 2 attributes pac has. and just like what you said clottey's work rate is his down fall and believe me it will. Pac would'nt give clottey a moment to breathe during his fast assault. And speed kills. most especially if:
1. the other guy is bigger therefore slower
2. the other guy doe'snt counter well in the league of jmm.pbf. and casa.
3. the other guy is not a slick. elusive fighter like pernell or pbf.

And that's the bottomline...
