Comments Thread For: Joshua Clottey: "I Will Wear Manny Pacquiao Down"

[-Spinal-]

Am I the only one sick and tired of hearing Clottey make these sort of predictions?

What predictions? The man was interviewed for a couple of questions about his upcoming fight which is less than 15 days away and he answered them. You must not be online to read all of Ronnie's worthless Manny Pacquiao threads.

No help wearing Pacman if he'll fight toe to toe and absorbs all the punches in the beginning rounds. Clottey should atleast add an extra distance and use his footwork to anticipate Pacmans attack and just throw 2 to 3 counterpunches then disengage. Pacman for sure will invite him to trade punches so he can take advantage of his faster hands and can land his bruce lee punches in a right distance. Though, Clottey has a tight defense, counterpunching in the beginning rounds is his best hope for victory. I believe Pacman will be moving side by side launching his straight Jabs and left forward attack so fight JMM style in the beginning rounds if he wants to wear Pacman..

When does Clottey even talk?

The man comes up short in every major fight he is in, he talks about his pressure and wearing people down yet when he's on the trenches this cat is always gunshy and always finds an excuse to lose the fight, stop talking as if you don't know what I'm talking about bro, you know damn well what I mean.

Clottey is too slow and walks right on to you Manny is gunna hit him at will just about .

Could that be why Clottey was handpicked? Could that be why all Pacquiao's opponents were picked?

Former champion Joshua Clottey has no idea what all the fuss is about. He had a few setbacks against fighters like Carlos Baldomir, Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto. He doesn't think about those defeats. He still views himself as an unbeaten fighter. Clottey tells Lem Satterfield of AOL FanHouse that he won't view a win over Pacquiao as an upset, but just another win in the bank. Clottey faces Pacquiao on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Texas.

Atta boy Joshie! Keep telling yourself that!

[Mr. Philadel]

keep tellin' yall selves that Josh has no chance .....please don't make excuses for Manny when it's time to admit that you dudes were duped into believing this big ass AFRICAN dude hasn't suffered enough hardship to let this fight get away from him.....Manny will NOT beat Clottey up like those others he's dusted off......in fact, I'm going as far as to say, expect a Clottey win!!

[one-Punch]

I think you have it backwards Clottey. Manny is going to wear you down.

The man comes up short in every major fight he is in, he talks about his pressure and wearing people down yet when he's on the trenches this cat is always gunshy and always finds an excuse to lose the fight, stop talking as if you don't know what I'm talking about bro, you know damn well what I mean.

Apart from the last two rounds of his fight with Cotto, how many times have you seen him gun shy when he's not injured? He is not gung-ho but he definitely is not gun-shy. He is methodical and calculating. After all boxing is about hit without being hit. Why should he unnecessarily expose himself to punishment?

The man has three loses. One was a DQ in a fight he was winning. One was a loss in fight he was easily winning till he injured his hands and the last was a split decision in a fight he outlanded his opponent by total punches and by rounds.

He has 38 fights and he's being outlanded only once(and that was when he was injured against an opponent who threw 1675 punches at him). Needless to say he was EASILY outlanding even a 120-punch-a-round Margarito in the first 4 rounds without fighting off his PACE or his GAMEPLAN. Stress on easily and at his own pace and gameplan(for those who think he gassed out).

You don't know what you are talking about bro.
