You guys are really undersestimating Clottey.

    ^^agreed...Clottey is tough...a lot of guys don't want to fight him...him, P Williams and Margo were 3 of the most avoided fighters in the WW div.
    But he just don't have what Pac has.

    Pac;s got that killer instinct. And he just thrives on action and he loves to fight. Just pure loves to fight. When people love what they do, it tends to make them much better at what it is they do. i never seen a boxer who loves to fight as much as Manny.

        Clottey will win this fight. I'm not buying all this ATG and greatest fighter alive BS people are giving about Pacquiao. Clottey is going to shock everyone except me. I know what he is capable of. Pac will get busted up in this fight. Once Pac releases that he can't hurt Clottey then he will be treading in deep waters. Clottey will counter him and get in uncomfortable inside exchanges. Clottey's right hook is going to have Pac on ***** street. See this is the beauty of boxing. You have a so called super athlete going against someone the fans think have no chance then comes the upset which I know isn't one because I know Clottey is better than what the casual fan thinks.

              i totally agree. clottey is gonna cover up pretty good but he dont make a smooth transition from defense 2 offense. clottey wont win more than 2 rounds.

                  Honestly, I don't see how people can watch the Judah-Clottey fight and say "Yea, he's going to be a cakewalk for Manny". Judah is arguably just as fast and has as much power as Pacquiao. Clottey allowed him to go to go work on him and he didn't land **** the entire fight. In return he was ripping him with hooks and that lead straight right he developed.

                  Don't get me wrong, Manny is a better fighter then Judah but I just can't see this being an easy fight for him. Good offensive boxers like Cotto and Marquez made his defense look very suspect. The problem in Cotto's case is that he wasn't able to handle the return fire but Clottey likely will and he'll be landing a good amount of clean, effective punches himself...likely the punches that you remember because Manny's head is going to be snapping while Clottey will always have his hands up and it can be hard to tell what's landing cleanly.

                    oh and by the way he fought 9 rds with one eye...due to a headbutt when most fighters would of pack it in
