    I think Clottey should be fighting Winky Wright at 154. A mirror of shells.

    I think Winky was a better fighter who accomplished far more than Clottey has.

    To be honest from my view, at the start I was thinking that clottey has a chance, but since I just rewatched the clottey vs cotto fight, I think paquiao is going to absolutely paste joshua clottey. Cotto at times got through clottey's guard with consumate ease with nice straight punches, I think pacman has that plus more angles and more leather. I wouldn't be surpised if clottey was out of there inside 8 rounds... If cotto can put him down with a jab then he's in for a beat down.

    I don't give him much of a chance. He'll be in shape. That pretty much means he'll be able to sustain more of a beating and might be the only reason he sees the final bell.
    Watching the vids at fightnews though... Even though his mittwork guy is horrible, Clottey at this point doesnt look like he could swat a fly with doormat? His hands are slow, he's winging his hooks and I wouldnt be surprised to see him hurt a hand or wrist up to or during the fight. His work on the double end ball looks pretty sloppy too and he doesn't even have to chase the double end ball. Clottey right now, looks like hes going to make it easy for Pac to go under his shots, do his work and then get out.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Yes he has an outside chance.


    First time in the last few of his fights that Pacman is a big favorate so I would not be supprised if he is not mentaly up for it.

    Good point.

    I think Pac Man overlooking Clottey and being a little undertrained is Clottey's only real chance.

    If Pacqauio comes in like he did against Larios a few years ago then Clottey might could capitalize.

    But I don't see that happeneing.

    I see that slo-mo of Floyd & Shane pushing each other in your signature (I'm not sure if that's what it's called). It looks like they're smiling and just playing around. Was it scripted or did they actually look serious in real time? Sorry to go off-thread.

    I dunno if it was serious or not but Shanes kung fu block made me laugh

    To win? I don't think he will but to say no chance in hell? A bit harsh...This guyt is dangerous....Clottey is just a bit slow and too defensive minded but in the end he is a dangerous opponent for anyone!!!!

    There is a reason Clottey is not in more high profile bouts and it is not because he is not good enough.......He is a bit too much risk for too little reward and is not the most marketable fighter.....

    I give Clottey a chance.

    I see Pacquiao winning though.

    It's been 3 and a half years now though, since he's done anything meaningful. The only difference I see in their styles is that Winky has a jab.
