Pacquiao-Clottey: A waste of time and prime??

I think Clottey deserves a shot at Pac just like Pac got a shot at Barrera that profelled Pac to stardom. Clottey is an elite fighter that was not given a chance to become a star. This is Clottey's chance to prove that he is one of the best. A hungry, bigger and stronger fighter like Clottey pose a real danger for Pac. If only the popular ones will be fighting each other then those who are not well known won't be given a chance. Clottey deserves a big payday and I call on all boxing fans to support this fight.

GTFO and go watch MMA if you don't like the Pac-Clottey fight.

Pac is trying to unify the welterweight division so Clottey is the best option. The other welters were not available so Clottey is the right choice.

I don't think there was anyone else left to fight. Mosley and Berto were out of the question at the time. What I see happening is Floyd winning a UD over Mosley and Pac fighting Mosley after that. If Mosley doesn't get old over night, I think he will give Pac a hell of a fight but still lose by decision at the end. I think the Pac Mayweather fight will still be a big one after that but not as big as it was this time around. I think Pac will lose stock after he fights Mosley. He needs to skip Mosley and go strait after Mayweather, but if he continues to refuse random testing, that fight will never happen. Floyd I doubt will drop the random testing because I feel he believes more than ever that Pac is on something because he refused the 14 day cut off which was ridiculous.

A Pacquiao-Clottey is still better than a NO Pacquiao-Mayweather anytime. But it will eventually lead to that with all these hype by Fall of this year.

It's still a good fight but this fight isn't deserving to be Pac's last fight. Pac's last fight should be a super fight that could only be done with mayweather or mosley as dance partner.

ok let me get this right just to make sure the haze I be smoking aint really crack or some hard shit!!!......a few months ago the WW God Cotto had to come in at 145 and defend his 147 strap against Manny and people said it was cool because Manny started out at 106 and he's a small dude, this that and the third!!......NOW he'll beat big strong WW's with ease......with no problems!!......maybe the swine flu was a joke, but this Pac flu is real!!.....Clottey is a problem for ANY dude at 147.......he's technically sound with a good offensive arsenal and a sturdy chin.......he's NEVER been dominated in a fight and NEVER stopped......got caught by a Cotto jab and went down......more from bad balance than the punch.......Manny is a southpaw.....there's 2 punches that work well against them.....str8 right and left hook......Manny's last 3 victims are BIG name fighters......but NONE of those guys could throw a good str8 right hand down the pipe......left hand dominant fighters who lived off the left hook alone!!.....no offensive arsenal to really puzzle Manny like JMM has!!!.....Clottey has the tools to puzzle Manny IMO.......this is no gimme for Pac!! :boxing:

Filipino's are not interested. even a 17 year old boxing fan like me can conclude that. it's pretty obvious. IF pacquiao thinks that his win over clottey would secure his congressional seat this election.he's wrong. For me it's a waste of time. Clottey, like it or not, is not a draw. If this fight doesnt get more than a million, pacquiao will again get bashed by weathers. Floyd-Shane would at least get above 1.5 million dollar buys.or even 2. and that's for sure.it has its ingredients for a mega-bout. But pacquiao-clottey? it barely has spices on it. and it pretty much sound like an excuse. with pac looking bad. whom they've said gone 2-0 against mayweather outside the ring, in which i also agree, has the best option. and it should be to stay at rest. allow his body to heal. and leave the 1.2 million buys of cotto. there is a huge probability that pac will again have a hard beating against clottey.but i like him at 9. The interest is a step down from mayweather. But I'm very interested and I'm Filipino.

So if not Clottey or Mayweather as Pacs opponent, then who should have been?

Wait, people are actually voting Pacquiao for Philippine Congress? Was there no running opponent or something? I hope he loses again. Oh and about Clottey... he's already ****ed, seeing how his trainer couldn't get a visa. It'll be a mediocre fight. They're both distracted.

Boxing fans are interested? I'm not and I know alot of other people who aren't. Clottey is a respectable opponent and a solid win for anyone, but style wise, I'm gonna go as far as saying he'll be an easy opponent for Pacquiao. Mayweather Mosley is a more interesting match up but I'm not all for that neither. well i am if you dont find a fight between a great fighter and a top guy from his division interesting then thats on you not every fight will be hagler hearns but this still is a good one to me

I'm not at all excited for this fight. Come on May 1st and thank you Mayweather for giving me something to look forward to.

but we cant deny the fact that everbody saw cotto beat him. boxing records are boxing records. cotto clottey was a very close fight that has nothing to do with clottey pac as we have heard a million times before triangle theories dont work this is an interesting fight to me and im not really a fan of either fighter but i do like what both bring into the ring it should be interesting. good fight for boxing and being that i dont give a **** about ppv sales or pacs political career i look forward to it

boxing fans are interested clottey is a top ww who is an easy fight for no one and the fact that pac is still early into his ww title reign and hasnt seen clottey yet we dont know how he will do. lets remember clottey is going to have about a 20 pound weight advantage over pac and he is world class.

but whats the point?it doesnt give any hunger to pac in training.

I didn't care about it when it was announced, but it's interested me more lately. Maybe I'm just being brainwashed by the promotions for it...

I'm actually fine with Pacquiao-Clottey. He's taking out the welterweight division one person at a time. I'm confident that he'll run into Mayweather or Mosley eventually. Can he actually win?
