    Pacquiao might be making a mistake with Clottey.

    Pacquiao will not be able to hurt him at all. Also Clottey, while he does not throw a whole lot is a very precise puncher, and rarely misses hitting opponents flush when he does throw. I still see Pacquaio getting on his bike to win a competitive UD and moving around the ring for this one, because Clottey is like a tank and picks almost everything off. However, you will see Pacquiao having his head spun on its access numerous times due to very fast and precise shots, and I also think Pacquiao will get cut from one of those headbunts.

    In my opinion, Pacquaio should fight Bradley at 140, a weight Pacquiao can surely make. This would be a fight where Pacquiao would be stronger, faster, hit harder, and just be too much for Tim in every category.

      He has a better chance than Bradley or malgnaggi. A better chance than Cotto did as well.

        I don't think Clottey has what it takes to beat Pacquiao, but he does give the problems you mentioned. Clottey's eyes are quick and he can see the punches coming, but if he gets caught with one of those awkward shots, he could get hurt. But I don't think anyone is knocking him out at welterweight.

          Vyacheslav Senchenko is the only reasonable match up for pacquiao.

            Bully,Clottey is a wide welterweight that is tough as nails,I don't see this fight actually getting made!!It's risky buisness fighting Clottey,it'll be interesting to see how Manny handles a welterweight he ain't gonna be knocking out!!I wouldn't be surprise to see a little bit of Winky handling Tito's power show up during the fight if it happens!!

              Pacquiao sat ringside for Cotto-Clottey and asked Arum to get him Cotto (if you believe that ****amamie story). Either way, he knows what he's getting into. And, I'm going on record right now and saying, he's going to beat Clottey up and perhaps even make him quit.

                I disagree that Clottey is a harder fight than Bradley... Bradley brings a lot more things to deal with than Clottey does.

                  Thats a possibility, but I see Pacquiao winning a UD after taking some good legal and illegal shots.

                    That's a bold statement... I could possibly see Pacs angled combinations getting through his defense though..
