Wondering why was Joshua Clottey chosen as pacman's next opponent?
Was He that great?
He lost to cotto and margarito...isnt that obvious that pacman would rape him....
What was his credentials?
Just Asking......
Because he's a Top Rank fighter and he's tailor made for Pac.
And, even though Pacquiao has proved that size doesn't matter, casual fans will see him beat down a much bigger guy in Clottey and think how amazing it is.
It could backfire though, and steroid allegations would only be brought to the forefront again if Pac KO's him. That's a big if, but not impossible.
You think Pacquiao will beat Clottey easy? Based on what? The triangle theory? This is boxing - styles make fights and we dont know if Pacs style Clottey can handle well or not.
Those boxing fans actually know what there talking about instead of hating, my ass Clottey is tailor-made.
It shouldnt matter who he lost againest - its who the fighter is and what kind he is. This could be a nightmare for Pac or it could be a cake walk - we'll see.
well since clottey whupped cottos ass then gave him the fight the triangle theory wouldnt work even if i wanted to use one, and i never do. i never said anything about the fighters clottey lost to eighter.
styles do make styles and we do know clotteys style fits pac perfectly. im not hating i just know boxing and understand why the fights being made.
clottey is another guy who comes straight forward and stand right in front of you, on top of that he has no headmovement and fights in spurts leaving openings for pac to flurry. hes tailor made for manny.
it takes someone with good defense and counterpunching to beat manny. someone who has good lateral movement, is fast and attacks on angles. does any of that sound like clottey?
no, clottey is another guy like barrerra, hatton and cotto who will just come straight forward and try to overpower pac and that will never ever work. he just uses angles and speed to box circles around these guys and pick them apart.
to beat pac u need to make him come to u and do all the things i mentioned already. pac will make easy work of clottey trust me.

Simple because Clottey is better than Malignaggi, Matthew Hatton, And He can give a good fight. He edges Cotto
His power is decent, very low actvity rate, too stationary and goes on the defensive for too long. Clottey has the perfect style to beat people like Margarito, Cotto, Shane, Berto but stylistically, Pacquiao is all wrong for him. I give Clottey a better chance at beating Mayweather then I do Pacquiao and that says alot.

He,s top rank. You clearly didn't watch either the cotto or marg , fight. The only reason he lost to cotto was because he let him steal a couple late rounds by not being active. And against margs he hurt his hand, and its hard to beat an agressive guy like marg with one hand. He is very solid, never been ko'd and is technically a good boxer, should be a tough fight for pac, and at the very least it will be exciting. He doesn't have an amazing resume, but he has fought more top WW's than floyd, and he beat judah and baldomir (if it he didn't get disqualified, was winning on card up until that point) and those are the only two guys floyd has beat at WW.
Chickening out is to refuse a blood test 14 days before the fight. The only person who is proven to be afraid of anything is Pac, he's afraid of drug tests, I wonder why, lil lying cheater.
Prove it.
That's what I thought.
He throws very few punches. They are afraid Manny can lose to someone like Cotto but with real movement.
Yeah the same Cotto who was the real 147 pound champion and one of the best at 147 for a long long time?
I'll be more than happy to watch the replay, Clottey is a good fighter but again, this aint the fight the people want to see. Bob need to get off his high horse and deliver Pac to the 14 day cutoff.
well he has the same resume as floyd basically. corrales, baldomir(dq'd after dominating for ten rounds), and judah. i don't know if he could beat marquez though..........
Clottey would SMASH Marquez at WW. LOL
Lets see the top 5 fighter #1 Pac- Well obviously he can not fight himselfe. Let go down the line now shall we?
#2 Shane- He will not be ready by March
#3 Floyd- A fight later in the year
#4 Cotto- Been there, done that
#5 Clottey- next opponent, a tune up to Floyd...
So really is Clottey really that bad of a choice?
No, because Bob Arum and Top Rank says so.
like ppl say hes with top rank. also some of these so called boxing fans who dont really know nothing about boxing think clottey has a chance. in reality its another tailor made oponent for pacquiao to make him look good and be a solid name on his resume, without really proving anything.

Picking Clottey is just an escape route. Even if Pac beats him people are only going to want to see him vs Floyd, it doesn't change anything.
Picking CLottley was his 2nd or 3rd Option since bitch ass Floyd Bitched out again just like he bitched out of the rematch with De La Hoya and retired so he didn't have to fight Cotto *because he lives in puerto rico*, Margarito *because he wasn't a attraction*, Mosley *because he has 5 losses*, now Pac Man *because he wants to demand a test that boxing doesn't permit and pacquiao gave in a little bit but wasn't good enough for FAGweather*
like ppl say hes with top rank. also some of these so called boxing fans who dont really know nothing about boxing think clottey has a chance. in reality its another tailor made oponent for pacquiao to make him look good and be a solid name on his resume, without really proving anything.
