    if pacquiao-clottey takes place at 147..

    im geussing pacman would weigh in around 145ish..but clottey would be at his natural weight and rehydrates in the early-mid 160s while pac will be around 150...how will pacqquiao deal with this in your opinion? i have a feeling clottey will be putting in alot of bodywork early on in the fight, lets not forget either pacquiao has been stopped by a bodyshot before.

    I am still surprise that he is going to fight Clottey. I am waiting for the official announcement to make sure is true. Because, I honestly thought he was going to take an easier opponent.

      clottey will not take a backwards step against pac and with his tight defense and huge weight advantage he might give pac more then he can handle he does go into shells though and may let pac outwork him to a ud great fight i am interested in the outcome and i may be in the minority but i think this fight is a toss up and i actually favor clottey

          Like I said in a previous thread Clottey needs to stop fighting in spurts and act like a champion in the championship rounds.

          Taking rounds off to a busier fighter in Pac would only be to his determent.

          Peace.

            i have a feeling clottey will do that himself, if you look at clottey's fights he will do that to draw you in to play cat and mouse and will draw you in and counter you with blazing combinations...pacman might get himself KOed if he falls for it.

              i know clottey does that, but if you saw pac/cotto pac kept staying on the ropes and cotto would start to throw combinations.

                You guys have to remember that when Pac suffered his 2nd defeat by a body shot, he didn't make weight. It drain him of energy. Not making an excuse of that defeat.

                  once this is a done deal. Then betting time starts.

                    Clottey will have the advantage in strength department; but the rest goes to Manny. Clottey's chances are slim; its either break Manny down by body shots or land a perfect one at Manny's jaw. Manny better not underestimate Clottey; Clottey's lurking for an upset, which i highly doubt would happen.
