    Clottey is too one dimensional for Pacquiao. He's very good at that dimension, but not enough to beat Manny.

    Clottey's going to do the same thing he always does, which is move forward with his hands up in a protective shell. And block until he's close enough to punch.

    Roach has to have a great gameplan set for Pac to implement. Clottey's a very tough fighter to face if you just head in there with no actual gameplan. Clottey thinks it's gonna be a you punch, I punch like he did with Cotto and it's gonna be far from it. Pacquiao is gonna show what an elite fighter with a great gameplan does to a fighter like Clottey.

      Clottey has no chance whatsoever. He has no movement. All he does is just stand there and get hit, which is PERFECT for PAC. This will be done by 9-10 by TKO, maybe even 8

          I agree with everything u said about cotto. I have been harping that tune for years. But, ur thoughts on clottey are far off. Clottey has some of the same characteristics as cotto. Frontrunners who rely on strength and less skill to win.

          clottey is inaccurate and will have a hard time connecting on the mobile pacq. he will score when pacq looks to entertain by goin into muff mode. but other than that he will look the part of a handpicked opponent. he will fade as usual and tighten his shell late.

            you know clottey is being underestimated. He has all the tools to beat pac. all those people who have fought pac have had **** for defense.( Please Please dont get me wrong pac is an excellent fighter and is at the top of his game roids or not the man has done some damage.) Everyone keeps saying clottey is one dimensional or he does the same thing every fight well what if thats all that is needed everyone else that fought pac went out their switching game plans or getting knocked out cuz they kinda didnt know what their game plan was (damn hatton) and they got their asses handed to them. Except marquez, he did his thing. I think pacquiao is going to get into a groove of moving around landing shots and hes going to see clottey shelling up alot and hes going to start getting careless middle rounds and thats where the one dimensional fighter should do his damage..Clottey has nothing to lose but everything to gain..

              LOL what are these tools you are talking about?

              Clottey is taylor made for Pac. He stands right in front of you, doesn't throw many punches and has limited movement.

              He's got a good chin and a good jab but the angles he will see will be something he won't be able to deal with.

              The only way Pac loses this fight is if he breaks his hand on Clottey's face...

                hey man it was just an opinion...he does have the tools hes quick(not as quick as pac but quick), short sharp accurate punches and his coming foward can wear out a fighter. and clottey is extremely durable which other people have not been...like i said its just my take on it..call me ******, call me whatever but i think clottey has alot to prove. this is the fight he has waited for and that should drive him to be great...

                  Nah man, all he has is deceptively quick hands, everything else (foot speed, reflexes) he's decent to slow.

                  His short shots aren't useful against a non-stationary target, especially a target that's gonna counter punch you everytime you open up.

                  His mental strength isn't strong enough either.
