I don't see this as a great way to sell the fight by saying the other fighter is not good. It would be much better to sell the fight by saying clotty is good and manny will ko him. I'll still be watching the fight but those statements don't help too much with the general public.
Mosley ducked clottey, you guys remember that. Excuse? "Ohh Clottey can't sell and got beat by cotto, who I believe I beat. I'm the top welterweight of the world! So why should I go lower?" Clottey did better than mosley did against cotto. Clottey is a lesser opponent than berto whom he chose to fight? Too bad that fight got canceled though.
Judah, a guy with just as much speed and power as Pacquaio and who was throwing in combination, landed like 5 punches the whole fight. I really don't know what Roach is seeing to make him think this will be an easy fight.
Judah is nowhere near the quality fighter that Pacquiao is. I'm not a big Roach/Pacquiao fan but I've learned not to bet against them especially when Roach is so confident. Between these 2 fighters I'll personally be rooting for Pacquiao.
I wouldn't be surprised if pacquiao KO's clottey. Remember, pacquiao was the first and only guy to KO the granite chinned morales, not once, but twice.
If he knocks Clottey out in any way other than a 11th or 12th round accumulation KO, and I'm talking an incredible number of punches accumulation, I will begin to wonder about Pac. Clottey has taken plenty of punches from harder punchers than Pac.
Like who? Cotto was the only really heavy handed boxer Clottey has faced, and as much as I like Cotto even I can say that Cotto wasn't able to land consistently enough to be effective against Clottey.
