You guys are really undersestimating Clottey.

    Hate to be repetitive but there is hardly anything in Clottey's arsenal that would trouble Pacquiao. Clottey can't mix his offense/ defense; either one or the other (Sort of like AA). He doesn't throw enough punches, and his peek-a-boo stance isn't gonna help him here. I mean, can you imgiane having to find Pacquiao with a peek-a-boo stance? Then on top of that, Clottey is a decent puncher at best, I see Pacquiao winning a one-sided U.D. Just the style match up here, Pacquiao is all wrong for Clottey. Not underrating Clottey here either, I'd actually pick Clottey to beat Mosley, Berto, Collazo and a few of the other top WWs.

      I think May-Mosley is a great match-up. I can't wait to see that...if it happens. Has Floyd actually signed yet?

        I'd think Collazo would put up more of a fight. He's a Southpaw as well, and a rangy boxer. He'd get hit way more than Clottey though

          Thats a possibility, his defense will work well though. He barley gets hit, and when he does he has a chin to fall back on. He has the technical skills and speed to catch Pacquio regularly, and will fight to the end win or lose, in this case lose probably.
          But here's the thing....

          Clottey's defense does leave him open for straights.

          Cotto couldn't penetrate the defense cause he throws hooks to the head and body, and Clottey picks hooks off with his gloves and elbows. Pac throws a straight left to the solarplexes, and obviously a straight left to the head. That could go right through Clottey's D.

          I really think Clottey is going to get broken down.

            I agree there also, I don't see Mayweather Mosley as being competitive either. Thing is, atleast Shane has a puncher's chance, isn't gonna tire out. Where as Clottey (Who in no way is gonna win a decision) doesn't even have a puncher's chance and tends fade.

                    i dont understand it either. everybody was claiming clottey beat cotto in his last fight now that he's fighting the pacman people want to trash him for the sake of diminishing pacman. clottey will be at least 160 by fight night with pacman staying as a welterweight. this will be a competitive exciting fight, i guarantee it. i think people are just mad that floyd fight didnt happen & they are taking their frustration out on pacman & clottey by marginalizing them.

                      clottey is no missmatch for anyone... with that being said. 98.5 % expect nothing but a win from the pacman.
