I think if pacquiao beats Clottey, would be his most important victory in the major categories.
The fights with Morales, Barrera and Marquez, were more important, but this fight is more important than hatton cotto and it is stronger and more enduring, is more solid. I take no credit for pacquiao but I do not think I beat the best or the best hatton cotto, they were never the same after his fight with Margarito and Mayweather. but a person so young and of category is equal merit. And I think that would be more important than Clottey beat cotto and hatton.
I think it one of his hardest fight in recent memories.
When he beatin Morales people forgot Morales didnt have the same flair pre-Barrera III. Erik didnt really want to fight MAB for the 3rd time and felt like not into boxing that time.
I don't know if that's saying alot. He's fighting a guy who couldn't even muster enough offense to beat a faded Cotto in his last fight.

so young? isn't Clottey older than Hatton, Cotto, and Pacquiao? Yeah he's not as old as de la Hoya but he is not that young. Plus he strugles with the weight and also his last fight was a loss against Cotto, a boxer that Pacquiao already beat. Plus styles makes fights and Clotteys style is made for PAcquiao!
Pac is taking a sideways step with this fight. It's pointless and not important at all.
Yep, Pac is going to whoop the shit out of Clottey.
I think winning against Clottey would just solidify Pac's presence in WW division and whoever wins with Shane vs Floyd would mean that a mandatory fight has to happen.
I agree with you. but I think Clottey is a very difficult fight, is a very strong and resistant, cotto and margarito the best version of tubieron problems for its strength, is a boxer who does not hold back and blows. why in my opinion is a harder fight than hatton and cotto. and also I think it is more difficult for Mayweather for his boxing style that pacquiao mosley

I'm not saying he is an easy fighter, but as a win Cotto ranks higher since he just beat Clottey, it's not like it happened years ago, it happened recently.
I agree that the win against cotto put him above that the EU would put against Clottey, but I think by the characteristics of Clottey will be a harder fight than hatton and cotto
yes cotto win the fight (not in my opinion), but cotto run the lasts rounds. and clottey is not a easy fighter

He's just destroyed Cotto who beat Clottey before that, so... you don't make sense.
