    I've always felt clotteys Kryptonite wasn't volume, it was movement.
    Clottey is comfortable in his shell and with people throwing a bunch of punches at it, that's what he likes and prefers, he likes to counter from there.

    I always told everyone, against cotto, he'd win easy unless cotto BOXED like he did against Margi. Cottos cut was a blessing in disguise.. it forced cotto to use the ring and fight from the outside (the strategy that would have won him the fight all along) had cotto not been cut, he would have lost more decisively IMO against clotteys counter left hooks and uppers.

    Although I still feel as though he won the fight, i feel like the room for argument is there because cotto was cut, and it made him fight the propper fight agianst a guy like Clottey.

    Clottey is stubborn, and god forbid he comes in 165-170 fight night.. he'll be even more stubborn.

            More so lateral movement though, where's pacman is a bac and fourth kinda guy. It's an intriguing fight though and would be a GREAT fight. IMO if Pacman comes in looking to prove he is the bigger man like he did with Cotto, and engages more.. it gives Joshua more of a chance. But if he's the speed demon that he's been most his career, moving in, punching, then moving out again, joshua will never get anything off.

              I disagree, Pacquiao is constant motion. Anyway, we'll see. You've stated your case, and I have stated that Pacquiao will win convincingly and perhaps make Clottey even quit.

                Yep, we'll see. and you're right.. pac is in constant motion, but not defensively. I guess what I should have said it, defensive movement. Regardless, it's a great fight.. and i favor Clottey for the time being, as long as it's 147 and not a lbs under lol.

                  Pacquiao by easy U.D. in my view. Clottey just don't throw enough punches, but got that granite chin.
