Comments Thread For: Roach: "Pacquiao Will Knock Joshua Clottey Out"

Roach strikes again ......he be shootin' down Manny's opponents BEFORE round 1 even begins......so why should WE give Manny credit for beating fighters who ARE NOT THAT GOOD?!?....according to Roach!!......this guy is a joke!!

Not only that but I also noticed that Roach gives Pac the edge and lead by frustrating the opponents and taking them off their gameplan.. thats how its been with Roach, he talks trash, opponents get frustrated, get off their gameplan and lose, because of their ego.

**** testing Pacman for drugs they need to test Roach instead.

Pacquiao aint knocking Clottey out, no way no how. I think Pacman will have a hard enough time trying to get through Clottey's D with penetrative punches let alone anything else. I expect Pac to win but mainly by shoe shining him and being busier.

Hatton isn't very good. That is why Pac destroyed him at 140 with 2 knockdowns and one of the most brutal knockouts of the decade in only 6 minutes.

Mayweather however made hatton come up to 147 where he is not good at all and actually lost a couple of rds to the smaller hatton. It took mayweather a while to figure him out before stopping him later.

I think Mayweather had Hatton figured out actually. It just happens that his style allowed Hatton to hang around. To be honest I was surprised Mayweather KO'd Hatton. Just curious does anybody think that Mayweather would or could be that much better if he threw more punches? The guy has serious speed and reflexes, but wastes so much of his talent playing defense. My personal opinion.

You know...Pacquiao should just demand that Floyds entire corner must take drug tests lol and whoever fails is banned from the corner... its Thee new way to keep the ENTIRE sport clean!

I'm with the Joke Coach Roach on this one, Manny will probably end up knocking Clottey out. Slow moving, takes rounds off, sits on his peeka boo defense and not much power. Clottey is going to be hit all night by Pacman.

I agree with you on this one. Clottey is being a bit overestimated. Clottey had a close loss to Cotto when Cotto was essentially seeing out of one eye. Clottey didn't take his abilities to another gear and take Cotto out the way that any other top 5 WW would have. Mosley, Margarito, hell even Mayweather would have had Cotto out. When he steps into the ring with Pacquiao he'll have to be fighting at that higher gear almost the whole night. He's going to have to mix in a lot more offense and counter more than usual to win this fight. Any inactivity in the fight on Clottey's behalf will only give Pacquiao opportunities to find ways to crack Clottey's 'armor'.

Strategy mate (Mind Games). They know Clottey is a tough costumer they will try to break his nervecell off. The discreditation is nothing as off now most people already know Clottey is one of the elite Welterweights outthere. This fight is the biggest fight of Clotteys career they all aware he's coming out big. All Roach camp need is a win. And they're starting the war this early. Not to mention that Freddie do the business. He's a good sell to the media. Media = $$$

Ok so if Floyd dominates Mosley will you give Floyd props or say Mosley
was too old? Because in a lot of you posts, I could have sworn you said
Mosley was past it and Floyd picked him to fight at the right time? I don't
think honestly that you will ever man up and give Floyd his props no matter who he fights or
what he does.

So many boxing 'fans' are like this. I get why some people understandably don't like Mayweather based on his out of ring antics, but anyone who considers themselves a fan of boxing has to realize that his talent in undeniable. He's gifted both physically and in his craft. Mayweather will be a name used to describe future boxers based on their ability. Much like Pacquiao and Roy Jones Jr. based on their respective fighting styles, power, and technique.

Don't think he will KO Clottey, the guy has a good chin and has a good high guard. Pacquiao head hunts too much to break him down physically.

That being said I think he will outpoint Clottey, the guy simply isn't active enough imho.

[lilducer22]

of course pac gna knock him out hes on steriods!!!!!!!hahahahahaha

[Clint650]

wouldnt be surprised to see Pac KO Clottey. then again i expect Clottey to bring everything he's got, and to prove he's much better than his showing against Cotto.
