Anyone else think Clottey can beat Pacquiao?

[Ray*]

nah - someone said it perfectly - he'd be a sitting duck with his defensive posture for pac.

Yep, Easy fight for Pac really, Its easier to look good against sitting ducks than a moving object.

I didn't see this coming, and all respect for Pacquiao to take on a another dangerous fighter.
This fight is high risk, low reward. Just proves Pacquiao will fight anyone out there.
Mayweather vs Pacquiao isn't happening, but boxing goes on. I'll be looking forward to this.

I see a Pacquiao victory, but this time on points. Clottey's tough as nails, a good all rounder with an excellent chin. I think Pacquiaos overall skill and speed will win him the fight, but it wont be easy.

First off, let me just say that I don't have any problems with Pacquiao. He's one of my favorite fighters.

I kind of suspected that Pacquiao would beat Cotto. Cotto was there to be hit and didn't have the right speed in order to beat Pacquiao.

Clottey is a different story, however.

Clottey will have a huge fight night weight advantage over Pacquiao. Even bigger than Cotto's. He also has a great, turtle-like defense to stop Pacquiao's punches.

Clottey doesn't isn't a knockout puncher but he's a decent counter puncher. And for a huge welterweight like him, I think he can earn Pacquiao's respect.

I basically see an upset with Clottey winning by decision. What are you thoughts?

i agree mate,ill be cheering for manny all the way in this one but it is a dangerous fight because clottey is a beast at 147 and he fights a bit dirty,which could annoy manny,i wonder if they will fight clottey art 147 or if it will be a catch weight?

and a roid abuser so a dark cloud remains over his legacy if he doesnt fight floyd...period

A roid abuser huh,where's ur proof of such things??Don't worry,I'll wait!!Yeah,so fighting floyd is the only way to clear the air huh!!Funny thing,I won't agree brother,I think Manny simply beating every opponent floyd has ducked is enough,true story!!

Pac by KO/TKO if this fight happens. Clottey's chin won't handle 40 Manila Ice and at least 20 flush phantom lefts from Pac. The only reason he laughed at Miguel was because he saw and covered for the punches coming. I don't see Clottey standing if Pac connected the punch that left Hatton almost dead...

Man, everyone needs to get off the Clottey train. The dude has consistently come up short against top opponents, and has never impressed even against mediocre fighters.

He seems like an honest dude and honest fighter, but (if this fight gets made) he won't win this fight.

[Chuckguy]

LMAO at all the pac fans trying to justify how tough and close this fight is going to be.

Clottey is not that good. If Cotto knocked him down with a jab Pac is going to walk through him.

I do give Pac props for taking on Clottey no doubt but its not like you all are making it out to be. If Cotto tagged up clottey Pac will have no problems and its going to be a easy win for him.

Look for Roach to stipulate a certain amount that he can weigh on fight night
He wont allow Clottey to weigh more than 155 come fight night

i see clottey damaging pac

but if top rank is scum........pay off clottey so pac wins...maybe by ko....pac with minimal injuries

so pac vs may is on for more hype...to make one fafillion dollars.....

clottey is huge...

Agreed!! He is overrated. He's good, so I'm not saying he sucks or anything but he's not the fighter so many people think he is. He let the Margarito fight slip because of bruised hands, couldn't finish off Corrales, and let the Cotto fight slip away. The dude is tough no doubt, but it seems like he's just another name top fighters keep getting W's over.

[M.I Truth ?]

its a dangerous fight if clottey throws more than normal.
