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...
Before you roll your eyes explain to me your argument.
for starters the fact you seems to judge any fighter with less speed than pacquiao as 'the same'

clottey wont just plod forward, hell work behind his jab which is the one thing that has in the past given pac a lot of trouble, JMM, Morales and cotto early on seemed to be able to give pac trouble with the jab

also bigger = slower ??

pretty sure RJJ is bigger than Margarito,Pavlik,Juan urango etc... is he slower because he is bigger ? you cant make such a generalisation as big = slow

and he isnt a slick, elusive fighter.... but neither was morales so does that really matter ?
