clottey the underdog!

[skel1983]

Dont see him getting stopped, but I think Pac stopping him is much more likely than a Clottley win.

What can Clottey do to stop Pac?? He has average power does the basics ok and is a tough dude thats about it, he does nothing special and I just cant see where he beats Pac.

Clottey wont win on PTS unless he thrashes Pac out of sight. They're both Arum fighters and ole Pacster is worth a billion times what Clottey is.

clottey will do what he always does. He'll follow pac around, hands up tight "D", not throw enough punches loose on points and bitch about it afterwards.

I was going to explain my thoughts but you said everything I wanted to say. This is exactly right. Clottey does nothing special and it would take Pac to fight the wrong fight for him to lose. Pac would have to try to fight Clottey in the pocket.

Clottey is a good fighter, but he's in a terrible style match-up. He might take a round or two off Pacquiao but that will be it. I don't see Pac stopping him because Clottey has a good chin and a solid defense. However, he'll be balled up a lot and this will cost him heavily on the cards. He also doesn't have that killer instinct to really stop anyone once he has them buzzed and I can't see him stopping Pacquiao with one punch.

Yea Clottey is extremely frustrating that way. As stupid as it sounds, if he could match Pacquiao in stamina and had a similar mentality, I'd have a hard time not seeing him win by stoppage. I can't imagine how a fighter can have those physical tools but just not will themself to use them to their fullest down the stretch.... But I can only imagine a lot of what goes into being an elite athlete of any sort, mind you. For whatever reason I find myself rooting for Clottey in a big way in this fight, I would just love to see him lay it on the line in a way he hasn't before and actually pull this off.. It is very unlikely though, he has shown the same flaws in every big fight he's been in thus far.

If Clottey can tie him up and put that heavy body on him I can see him giving Pac trouble. If Pac's legs are gone and he can't run then it's anyone's game.
