Does anybody give Clottey a chance ?

[HattonTheHammer]

I don't.

For the first time in a long time in a big ppv fight, I don't think one of the guys has a chance in hell.

Clottey covers up wayyy too much, lets the other guy get off, fades down the stretch, and isn't a huge puncher.

He is pretty durable though and that said I think Pacqauio will stop him in the later rounds.

Yep, I agree-he has no chance in hell. He's also too predictable, like all of Pacman's recent opponents, which is another reason why he'll be stopped, but I think it will be early. Don't forget that Clottey's been fighting since 1995.

agreed an absoloute no brainer

would possibly be the biggest upset since tyson-douglas if he was to pull it off, what most people have already said clottey isnt the type of fighter who is going to get battered from pillar to post but he also isnt one thats prepared to take massive risks to get the job done and this may just be a 12round cruise for pacquiao with a clean sweep 120-108 at the end

Did you guys see the Kellerman Face-off?

Kellerman: "What do you think Clottey does well?"

Pacquiao: "Uh" uncomfortable silence "he can defense"


Personally, I think this fight is going to look a lot like Khan/Kotelnik

pacs honesty at times is brutal, straight after he knocked out hatton...

kellerman:did you invisage the fight would be over so soon??

Pacquiao:im surprised this was such an easy fight for me

Honestly voicing every boxing fan in the worlds thoughts.

Wouldnt it be nice to see Clottey get lucky early and Pac have to fight his way out of a hole for all the mid rounds.

I really have no interest in this Pac/Clottey fight. I am reading about boxing everyday, but it's a fight that just isn't crossing over into my radar. After the promise of Mayweather/Pac and the diva antics that ensued, Pac/Clottey has left nothing but a bitter taste. All my attention is on Mayweather/Mosley instead. It is a far more interesting matchup.

As it is, I hope Clottey shocks everyone by knocking out Pac, but I have a hard time seeing it happen. All of Manny's recent big name wins have come against fighters who are fresh off bad knockouts or past it and weight drained. Clottey, as good as he is, isn't damaged, but fits into the David Diaz category in that he is durable, but doesn't do anything particularly remarkable. Pac will likely out work him and wear him down or take a decent decision.

Manny could have gone after Mosley, who is regarded as the top WW, but once again they have decided to avoid him. They should have fought him instead of Cotto and they should have fought him now.

Pac/Clottey? Does anyone really care? I know I don't.

[ruthless rocco]

i like watching people fight.
thats why i care.

You're mixing up the chronological sequence Cotto has a win over Mosley. A fight with Cotto is as good as a fight with Mosley. And Pac cant fight him now because the haiti tragedy happened after Pac-Clottey was made.

[djcione]

Cotto was damaged goods after the Margarito fight. I thought everybody knew that.

I wonder why Pac didn't try to fight Mosley. As soon as his fight vs Berto was cancelled, Mayweather stepped in and took the fight. Where was Pac? I would expect BOTH of them doing what they could for that opportunity but Floyd took the initiative here while Pac looked for an easy fight.

I don't give Clottey any chance at all either. I find it interesting how people try to sell that fight saying that Clottey is so dangerous, Pac's biggest challenge ever, blah blah blah. Why hasn't any journalist said anything about it? I do see journalists saying over and over how Floyd has not taken a real challenge and all but when it comes to Pac vs Clottey or other weight-drained, past-their-prime guys, etc. then Pac gets praised. I don't get it.
