Unlike Margarito/ Cotto, Pacquiao actually has a straight punch to get through Clottey's guard. It's hard enough that Clottey isn't gonna win enough rounds here, but he doesn't even have a puncher's chance. Cotto has more power then Clottey, and we all saw how Pacquiao took Cotto's punches. In short, Pacquiao Clottey ain't gonna be all that comepetitive. It's a style thing, I'd actually pick Clottey to beat alot of the top WWs.

    Beating Clottey is a solid win for anyone, so I'm not here to discredit Pacquiao. All I'm saying is, people should stop making this out to be something it's not. Before people start throwing that "*******" "*****" crap, I'm also gonna say that I don't see Mayweather Mosley as being all that competitive either. Only difference is, Mosley has a puncher's chance and isn't gonna tire out. Hence, more intriguing matchup.
    Finally a legit boxing fan with a working brain! I agree with you 100%.

            Hatton vs Pacquiao to me was a mismatch.

            I think Clottey will do a lot better than people think, but I see Pac taking the win.

                ............Good point.

                I do think Pacquaio might not look that impressive against Clottey though, i dont see Manny getting threw with many clean shots, particularly when he most likely wont be looking to get close to Clottey preferring to peck away from long range and use his legs. I can see Clottey walking straight to him behind his guard instead of jabbing his way in and making Pac work harder than he wants to.

                      I have no arguement with what the TS said. That is exacly how it will go. Clottey isn't going to be doing too much of anything in this fight. We all know it but some people just don't want to admitt it.

                      I will shat myself if Clottey wins. Because I know his chances of winning are 10-90 in Pacquiao's favor.
