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

[Anti~Jalandoni]

he will be the 2nd Black man to face Pac in the ring.

2nd to face defeat

[Recah]

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.........

Yes, its true. But Floyd doesnt have the power of Pac at 130, 135, and 140. Let's assume that the affect is not the same, but is it possible that it is enough?

[Anti~Jalandoni]

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

u said that before in cotto prefight

good call....well said.....

I agree 100%. Roach will need to teach Pac how to pot shot 1 and 2 punches at a time and move out. If he tries to stand there and throw 5 or 6 or 7 like usual he will catch return fire from Clottey. The 2 guys i see beating Clottey @ 147 are Floyd and P Williams....based on style.

If Clottey is 3 to 1 underdog those odds are well worth taking.

They will pattern the game plan when Pac fought Oscar but with improvements.

You didn't hear that from me. I was going for Cotto but I knew someone was getting KO or TKO.

[bojangles1987]

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

You also have to remember he was coming into the ring at 148 when he was fighting at 130, so he was likely having lots of trouble making those weights and that means you can't take punches that well. He really was never hit after the second Marquez fight until Cotto, and even then he only had to take a few rounds of hard punches before he had Cotto running for dear life. Hatton never touched him, Diaz never touched him, Oscar never touched him.

I'm not pretending there is no way Pac is on PEDs but I don't think he is, his success at higher weights is easily explainable.

yeah but see if he was coming in the ring 148 which i dont think he was maybe 142-144 tops then he should have the same power he already had how is he more stronger now if he is not putting on any weight? To me in my opinion his punches shouldn't be hurting guys that fought at higher wieght classes there whole careers he might be strong but he is not strong like that

You don't need to be a rocket scientist just to comprehend the weight during weigh-in and the actual weigh during the fight.

Draining too much weight will cause your power,resistance & stamina to diminish, thus rehydrating is the solution to augment such loss but still you're not 100% at your power,resistance & stamina considering you already used it while draining your body to make the weight.
