manny's got some balls going after clottey.. clottey wont pull in nearly as much $$$ but is tough as nails

Hell regain a lot of respect from me if he takes this fight at 147 no catch weight. I think PAC wins because he will be very active and.Clottey takes long periods of inactivity which hurt him in the long run, but this is a really tough opponent.

Umm no, Cotto hardly threw to Pac's body, check the early rounds where Pac stayed on the ropes and Cotto did nothing. And have you been in the ring with Clottey? Do you know how hard he punches?! Clottey is more than capable to knock out Pac with a body shot then Cotto with a head shot.

You can see how hard a guy punches by watching his fights. Clottey can back a guy up, but he doesn't KO fighters, he has less power than Cotto, who landed shots to Pac's body and he took them just fine. Not saying Pac easily beats Clottey because no one easily beats Clottey but Pac should win this. Clottey is not going to just land body shots that break Pac down, people said the same thing about Cotto.

im past caring about Mayweather/Pacquiao now its boring. but i think Pac should just unify the belts at WW and floyd should go jump under a train because hes scared to fight the best, and while i cant speak for the world, i feel if he wont fight the best and just keeps cherry picking easy fights and coasting to 12 round UDs i dont wanna see him enter a ring ever again as skilled as he might well be. it seems like time and time again Pac pulls the challenges in, while Floyd pushes them away.

If Pacquiao is going to fight someone a lot bigger than him, it should be Foreman so he can get can get a belt at 154.

But he has some huge balls to take on Clottey.

Indeed. Clottey is a big welterweight, and is a tougher opponent than Foreman.

@ those who think this fight is gonna get done!

Clottey has a respected name in boxing circles, but if you look a little closer, Clottey is custom-made for Pac. A Face first, tough guy, with no speed or punching power( 1 KO in his last 11 fights). Also, just like DLH, Hatton, Morales (2 & 3), Larios, and Cotto he is coming off a loss in his last significant fight (L12 Cotto).

This is definitely a better fight for him than Malignaggi or Foreman. I give props to Pacquiao if he takes it.
