Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Clottey May Head To Dallas; Arum Sounds Off

Hmm, so Manny is the one who rejected the 14 day cutoff? Like I said all along, Manny is his own boss and pussed out.

Clottey at Welter is better, but Clottey is a bad match-up for him, a natural big welter. But stll its better for his career than to keep moving up in wieght till he gets beat, but Clottey is as tough as it gets at 147.

First of all Clottey is no Mayweather (hell he's no Cotto for that matter) and secondly as I stated yesterday Pacquaio is going to do to Clottey what he did to Cotto, except it's probably going to be alot worse. Clottey is a stationery fighter who utilizes very little movement. He will only serve as a punching bag for Pacquaio. If not Mayweather I would much rather see Pacquaio vs Bradley, who btw has stated Pacquaio would NOT need to be randomly tested. Although I think Pacquaio would win, I think it would be a much more compelling fight as opposed to Clottey. Furthermore, I can't believe Jerry Jones would be dumb enough to invest any resources into this fight. No wonder the Cowboys haven't won a playoff game (let alone a championship) since 1996.

like ive said all along.they know manny can't beat mayweather so why fight him.and to not let floyd make that kind of money is probably arums way of getting back at floyd for leaving top rank.but at the end of the day floyd is to good for this lying,steroid user,cheating,weight drainer, midget.

This is the most blatant ducking of tests and/or Mayweather ever...........Manny is looking bad here.

Pacquiao? Leave Clottey alone !! This is the fight that you could be embarrassed. Clottey makes fighters look bad. Pac? Fight floyd, yuri, mosley but leave Clottey alone. Remember when apollo creed's manager told apollo to leave rocky alone and pick someone else? Same thing here.

why is arum toying with dallas again? I smell fish here.

Arum wants Dallas because they said they will have a stadium that can seat 100,000 as opposed to 19,000(?) in Vegas. He is thinking of the gate purse to make up for lack of PPV buys IMO.
Arum has become about as credible as Floyd Sr. Pac himself needs to find a new promoter (too bad it doesn't work that way). Arum - quit for the good of boxing.

Listen to Poster Vitali before your post. Don't judge Clottey on cotto fight. Clottey will put more pressure on Pac than any other fighter has.

Absurd post. How is Clottey more dangerous to Pac than Floyd, Foreman or SSM??? Clottey is a sturdy and strong welterweight, but he doesn't compare in any way to the other three. I thought he beat Cotto, but I also believe that Cotto stunk the joint out. Clottey is crazy overrated in these forums. Having said that I think his size and strength make him a dangerous match-up for Manny, but Manny will handle him with better foot and hand speed.
