Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Goal Will Be To Knock Joshua Clottey Out

[Recah]

Yes but to many of us rationality would dictate a man allows himself to be tested at random to make $50 million.

In boxing rationality would also dictate when you move up in weight you will lose speed and power.....not gain both.

Power? You'll gain power when you move up in weight. That's simple physics. Power is directly proportional to Mass.

Speed? That could be relative. Is it possible that he is actually slowing when he moved up but since he is fighting with slower opponents it may seem he is faster?

You gain overall power....but realtive to the guys in that division it won't have the same effect. Floyd was a much bigger puncher at 130,135 and 140 than he is at 147.........

LMAO!!!!!! PAC get himself knocked out by fighting inside with clottey? PLEASE! clottey should be the cautious one, if he gets too close to PAC he will be out similar to hatton

Clottey actually has a chin, rock solid and tough. Pac is not KOing Clottey.

Make sure the fight is not at a catchweight before you offer that bet

i will not believe until we hear the official details.
konzc said that in the interview....
..and i read somewhere freddie is amenable to 147.
i'll reserve my comment and conclusion.

If Pac Ko Clottey, we will not see Pac-PBF!!! PBF will retire!!!

floyd will not retire no matter what...he needs $$$ badly, he can't survive with his present liquidity.
he will be picking on midgets and class b welters.
his fans will be there for him no matter what!

indeed....i don't think to many fighters have attacked his body they way they should be....

he took a lot from cotto...even at the ropes.
manny most of the time lets his sparmates hit him in the body to toughen up.
..and he's got his "thai stick" to make his belly stiff

Assuming Pac is clean, that is what makes him special. He's like Roberto Duran, or Henry Armstrong, guys who just were able to jump to and win in weight divisions no one thinks they can. That isn't supposed to happen a lot, but it's not like guys have never done what Pac has.

true but its not that he is winning its how he is winning like he is going up in weight but he is not out boxing these guys he is trading punches and taking punches like its nothing now i seen him knocked out twice dropped by a jab and rocked by Marquez and now its just like he is untochable its just hard for me to beleave that he got that good and that strong in that little amount of time

im not hating on pacquiao, innocent until proven guilty....
it just doesn't sound right man, I don't see that happening;
I do recognize his footwork and speed but I's never predict that pacman will TKO clottey;
I don't see it, he can UD clottey or SD but TKO or KO I doubt it,
i just know the media, If pacquiao destroys clottey in a vicious fashion,
he is gonna get alot of questions that he is gonna have to answer;
and I'm not saying steroids, but somewhere around there......
especially after all this gossip going on; him not wanting to do the blood test and all

Team Pac said they will agree with NSAC drug testing whether it be blood and/or urine BUT NOT b-coz Mayweather say so.

You're old enough you should know this negotiation drama.

good post guys!! all those points warrants consideration ...

and I would like to post couple of questions ...

did floyds punch effect really went down as he went up the weight or he just stopped throwing them the way he used to?

did floyds punch effect really went down in relation to weight or the effects of having busted fists?

win or lose paq losses the election..... ^,..,^

He's a natural welterweight. Remember your man, Floyd, at the same age as Pacquiao were both 106 lbs. I bet if Floyd fought professionally then. I wouldnt be surprised if he accomplish the same feat.

ur right but thats because Floyd could out box anyone he is not getting his ass kicked by lightweights one day then knocking out welterweights the next
