    Default Does anybody give Clottey a chance ?

    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.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    Clottey isn't gonna get stopped. The opponent gets off but doesn't land much. With all that said, Clottey can BEAT Pacquiao, but beating someone like Pacquiao isn't enough, you have to demolish him to win.

    Clottey isn't a demolisher, he is someone who can "beat" anyone but not do enough to "win"

    Of course clottey has a chance and in a way I think it'd be great if he did win (although it would upset a pac vs mayweather megafight even further) all it takes is one good punch.

    Hopefully it'll be a fair fight.

    I disagree. Morales didn't demolish him. He schooled him. I don't think if Pac wins, he stops Clottey. I think to beat Pac he's going to have to use his size to his advantage. Put his body on Pac, hold and hit a couple times, tax Manny's legs. If he can get him to slow down he can have more success hitting him and I think Clottey's power may be a little underrated. Manny has the tendency to stand and let an opponent get a couple freebies once or twice in a fight. Clottey has to be ready for that and go to his body. If Joshua can avoid tiring out, a tall order for sure, he has a better than okay chance at winning.

    I don't think Clottey will get stopped but I said the same thing about Cotto. Clottey is a tough durable fighter but doesn't do any one thing outstanding. I think we will see a one sided contest in favor of Pacquiao. Similiar to what he did to David Diaz except knock him out.

    cotto went all or nothing against margarito hence getting himself knocked out. I fully expected cotto to not take his foot of the pedal and go for broke.

    Clottey has on a few occasions not excerted extra pressure in close fights which is why his lost a few decisions. Joshua will go 12

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

    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
