[toyi]

That's what I like about Pacquiao, he's more than willing to give chances to opponents that have a chance to beat him.

WAR PACQUIAO!!!

And when clottey was asked by kellerman "why didn't you do more" in those last rds his response is that he had to respect cotto's punching power. I thought he should have owned cotto in the last rds but he didn't and nobody will agree with you that he won the last 3 BECAUSE HE DIDN'T.

i agree that he left too muchh to be desired in the last 3 but even roach felt cotto lost, i mean50 punches is alot bro!! those are too too many punches big difference there , cotto got his ass kicked good, not even casual observers were convinced with that decision. i garuntee you that clottey will put up a much better fight than cotto did. only further highlighting what a robbery that was.

Enough with the Marquezs talks on here.. If Marquez was so elite he would of gave Floyd some trouble better yet, even win a round.. BUT HE DIDNT.. The only credible fight Marquez has is his close fights with Pac. THATS IT, cause Casa was washed up, Marco was washed up, J. Diaz was a C- fighter.. Put Marquez in with Hatton or Cotto and he gets spanked..

Pacquiao owns Marquez..

dude dont even start with that **** pac is a welterweight, yes. but pacs recent"improvment" and pnd for pnd" status is based exclusivley,,EXCLUSIVLEY, on wins against old shot ass fighters ,so dont even go there.dont you even say pac fights the best because he clearly doesnt.

Clottey could have done more in the Cotto fight but nonetheless he did win that fight and was robbed. Worst case scenario they could have called it a draw. But no way any unbiased person can sit there and say Cotto won that fight. Clottey was ****** though to think that he was going to get a close decision over Cotto in the garden, on the night before the PR Day parade. He had his chances but lacked the killer instinct in that fight. No way he gets a decision over Pac on March 13th, his only chance is to KO Pac and to do that he is going to have leave that shell defense that he naps in at home because once he gets in it Pac won't allow him to come out of it. Its not a bad defense except that he stays in it 75% of the fight.

he not more than willing his defense has holes in , it. hes a brawler a great brawler, and brawlers as we know get hit a lot some more than others.

I dont see any way clottey can win, if he just goes forward with his peek a boo stance he wont be any diffrent from his last performances. Pac is not going to stay in front of him hes going to use the same approach he did with oscar, either he uses his good jab and throw more punches or else manny is going to run through him

I kind of agree. I agreed with emanuel steward early on when he was saying that clottey was going to be very difficult for cotto as the fight wore on. I thought clottey was clearly the better boxer and that it should have been an easy win for him. Cotto took way more punishent and barely landed any good shots that rattled clottey. However, clottey's dumb ass didn't do enough in the last 3. Had he applied pressure and done what he was doing in those middle rds and it would have been a relatively easy win for him. I DON'T KNOW WHY HE TOOK THOSE RDS OFF. If he takes rds off against Pac he doesn't have a chance in hell of beating him.

If clottey's smart he will throw a lot of uppercuts. I thought his uppercut looked really good against cotto and that could be a punch that could catch a shorter pac off guard. Clottey has the tools just don't know if he has the work ethic and heart to beat a champ like pac.

i agree clotteys right handed style and defense in theory could nullify anything pac brings, but hes not a finisher he doesnt follow up and at this level of fighting that can be the difference between a gatekeeper and a champion.clottey is the first true rt handed fighter pac is facing since jmm.hell give pac problems and make the fight interesting but his lack of killer instinct gets him another loss.

he has the tools, but he lacks fire. pac easy decision win clottey will just wait too long ,and be just too complacent. clottey is almost an 8rnd fighter.
