Let's analyze Clottey-Pacquiao for a sec.

[Mighty_Windir]

Pac won't KO Clottey, but would decision him easy.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

clottey has a good chin, do you guys think paquiao will be able to hurt him or possibly KO him?

PAC would outwork Clottey...there might a KD or two IMO


i like the matchup...i have a feeling it would be highly entertaining...another legit welterweight opponent...something the other dude has no interest in fightin

[mcdoodledoo]

Agree'd

Clottey is too inactive, doesn't have the stamina, too stationary and doesn't have that hard of a punch. Honestly; Clottey is my dude, but stylistically, Pacquiao is all wrong for him. I got Pacquiao easy U.D.

I agree with this, due to his inactivity and Clottey taking rounds (or parts of rounds off), the punch output of Pacquiao will let him win by UD. I don't see a KO in this fight as Clottey has a good chin and (probably) not enough power to KO Pacquiao.

But I think it'll be closer and more competitive than people on here (from reading the forums) expect, maybe 115-113 to Pac.

Also because of that Peek-a-Boo stance, Pacquiao will have an easy time turning Clottey. Clottey isn't gonna be able to see Pacquiao all that well. Pacquiao is gonna neutralize Clottey's right hand.

I remember not so long ago..

Everyone would say that Clottey would kill Pac..







Now everyone saying Pac would kill Clottey..



Personaly.. I think this is a good fight. and its better then Pac vs Yuri or Paulie.

Well yeah alot of peoples opinions changed after he whooped Cotto in a 1 sided fashion (mine included.) Cotto still managed to beat Clottey with 1 eye though, i just don't thin Clottey has the style to trouble Pac.. Give him trouble? Make it difficult? sure he will

Just dont see him winning mainly down to inactivity, Stamina, he doesn't punch nearly as hard as Cotto either. I would pay for it tho, wouldn't pay for him facing Foreman or Paulie, even tho citing someone being tall as a way to avoid them is rather lame.

yeaa..exactly... isnt oscar de la hoya the same height?
he's about 5'11 isnt he?

[Spray_resistant]

This is going to be a good fight, I don't see why ppl on this site are downing it. Pac should win because he stays busy but it will be competitive and entertaining.

[Bushbaby]

Clottey is gonna be a solid fight for Pacman!!The 1 thing that can be guaranteed is that Clottey will be standing at the final bell,though as nails!!I don't think Clottey has stamina issues,he just doesn't punch enough!!I will stand by my statement,that if Clottey through 300 more punches a fight,he would be undefeated!!Clottey is a fast fighter as well,very good counterpuncher!!This fight will be tough,Manny should win based on activity,but it ain't gonna be easy!!If Pacman start slowly like he did with Cotto & Clottey gets momentum,then my friends,things could get crazy!!
