    Clottey has a great defence and underrated handspeed

    Preperation for a certain someone? I know their defence are different but Manny will have to get his shots in through that tight guard and didn't Roach say he wanted a month or two to get Pac ready for fighting Floyd?

    Clottey is about the same height as Floyd too.

      Floyd doesn't have a good workrate either.

        Perfect fight for Pac to take in preparation for Floyd, only thing is he probably wont look very good and may even lose.

          clottey's handspeed is definitely underrated.. he can fire 4 shot combos with speed and great fluidity the knock on him is he doesn't throw enough.. I think he has decent power too but again it doesn't show because of his low workrate.. He is a TOP WW and could beat any WW at any given night so it is a very good fight..

            Clottey has a sneaky good lead right hand. He springs out with it. I know this is a weak example, but he tagged Judah with it a lot.

            It'll be hard for him at first because Pac is so quick on his feet. But Clottey''s hard to hit clean so he'll be around all fight. More than likely this is a 117-111 fight I think.

              No he isn't. Don't try to make this a super win...

                IF Pac wins it will be an accomplishment, I mean a top 5 ww. Though the win will probably be underrated because Clottey isn't a big star even if he is a world class fighter.

                  It's a very good win should Pac beat Clottey. Clottey showed better handspeed than Cotto who is not slow himself.

                    His defense is average at best. The man is stationary with a peekaboo style defense. The guy is going to be an easy target for Pacman. He'll be able to eat a lot of punches because he's got a granite chin. Thats all he has going for him.
