    Clottey can be a more dangerous fight than Cotto

    Joshua damn near beat Cotto & Margarito. He beat Judah. He's naturally bigger and stronger than Cotto. No he's not as fast and doesn't quite have Miguel's punching ability, but he's physically stronger. He doesn't gas late like Cotto and he's got a tremendous beard (the jab KD was a balance shot).

    This is a dangerous fight for Manny as Clottey is a bona fide World Class Welterweight. If Manny beats Josh he should go on to fight the winner of Shane vs Berto for true Welterweight supremacy, while Floyd fights Paulie and Lil' Hatton.

    Yea Clottey is a very dangerous fight for Pacquiao. That's what I like about Pacquiao, he's alway taking the dangerous fight. Clottey would be easy work for Floyd though.

      I think Clottey's a faster puncher than Cotto. And you're right, waaaaay too dangerous for Packy to blow the bigger fight on.

      Arum's using him as a pawn right now.

      There's no way he actually makes this fight.

        Easy work... whatever dude. No use in making such statements if Floyd isn't willing to fight Welterweights. At this point, no Welter should be considered "easy work" for Floyd. Why do you think he's fighting Paulie?

          Everyone who Floyd never fought is easy work.

          They're so easy, Floyd won't fight them....

            like rippah said, "arum is using clottey as a pawn"


            i dnt believe that fight will get made. to think all mosley had to do was wait one more month and he could have gotten his mega fight. oh the irony. clottey is a hard fight for pacquiao but i have faith in pac and believe he can pull this one

              I guess you forgot that Berto is managed by Al Haymon and Mosley is promoted by GBP. Those fights are not happening for Pacquiao.

                If Berto/Shane want it and the public demands it, they'll get it. Floyd is a *****, Berto and Shane aren't.

                  I think Clottey is faster than Cotto,he just not very active & takes napps in fights!!Clottey would never be easy work for floyd,because in reality floyd isn't that active & their both great counterpunchers!!The pressure Clottey will apply with that wide body is gonna have pretty boy very uncomfortable!!

                    Indeed. This is a tough assignment for Pacquiao; as tough as his last fight. Clottey may have a poor welterweight ranking, but he is no walk in the park opponent.
