Clottey has a great defence and underrated handspeed

[boxasmash]

Average defence ok!

[Shattered Jaw]

Clottey is easily one of the best Welters of the last decade. He is right up there with Plastercheato, Cotto etc.

i dont think so TS...just another fight IMO. i think berto would be the best if preparing to fight floyd.

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.

clottey doesnt bring any of the skills floyd have that will bother manny.

no lateral movement, no headmovement, no angles, very little counterpunching etc..

he will come right at pac and try to overpower him, hes another tailor made oponent for pac and nothing like mayweather.

if u cant see this u eighter have a serious man crush on pacquiao or no boxing knowledge whatsoever.

CLOTTEY HAS ONE OF THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE GAME!!! C'mon now, and he also has a very good chin, i think his hand speed is not that fast though.

Are you an idiot? I said tight defence and good handspeed. Pac will have to get his shots in, Cotto found it very difficult against Clottey.

Clottey is Feck all like Floyd, thats a fact. Its a good fight tho, JC is big and strong, tight Defence and a solid chin even when u do get through despite the 1st round KD by Miguel. He also has good hand speed like u say.

Its a good fight that just seems really dissapointing now after the prospect of Floyd (which i think still happens)
Clottey wont be beating any Elite fighters tho and if Pac aint who is.

Clottey can fire great combo but against the Margarito type style, His defence is the best thing about him, He doesnt have a great stamina so he fights in spurt to conserve his energy for later rounds, And mentally he isnt tough at all, The moment things arent going for him he looks for a way out.

I expect Pac to box circles around him and make him look ordinary like he is, But the guy is durable guy so Pac might not be able to KO him.

yep clottey has very good defense and also a very good chin.. i dont think manny will knock him out, but probably win a wide deceision.

Yeah im expecting the Pac the stuck and moved circling around as apposed to the forward marching Destroyer Cotto was in with
