Clottey has a small face , which will ne a tuff target for Manny

yeah he is a bit like a 160-68 toney in that his head seems to be a small target..........

He needs to make it ugly and dirty. Use his weight and height. Rough him up. Don't let Pac jump in and out all the time. Grab him and clinch when he comes in. Clinch alot and lay his bigger, heavier body across Manny's back. He has to make Manny tired and then KO him in the late rounds, because he won't win a decision.

I give Clottey about 3 chances in 10.

watch the clottey jdah fight, Clottey has a sneaky fast lead right and good uppercuts. Plus his jab has improved a lot in the last few fights. If he can land clean on pac early I think he has a shot of surprising a lot of people. Pac has yet to fight a guy he could not hurt and as he himself said boxing is a mental game. If Clottey can discourage him with his great D and do some damage he could take over at the midway point and then it gets interesting.

i hope he does win
but i think pac is going to demolish him with ease

[The Truth 34]

Number 1 he's going to back Pac up and be the aggressor.Number 2 he's going to get inside and use his strength and body punching to try and wear Pac down.Number 3 When Pac uses his in and out motion side to side punching from different angles Clottey will use his strong defense and take those punches on the gloves and counter him with straight right hands with some left hooks.Good counter punching by Clottey will stop Pac from jumping in on him like he did against Cotto

[The Guillotine]

First step - get a good trainer. (One that can help your technique, give a good gameplan, etc.) Clottey couldn't even bring his original trainer to America because of visa issues, now he has a "Santiago" type character in his corner.

Because of this, I don't see Clottey beating Pacquiao. If he had gotten a good trainer, there would be a great possibility of him beating Pac, but as of right now, I don't see it happening.

As of right now I dont like seein Clottey all nicey nice with Manny. I know they respect each other and Manny is a puppy dog type character but I hope inside Clottey is ready to rip his head off. Respect Manny afterwards right now train to kill his ass! Honestly Id like to see Manny win this one to set up the fight against Mayweather or Mosley but Clottey can win if he makes it a rough fight an ugly fight but he has to let his hands go or he wont come close.

I do not think he can win this fight

pacs punch output will break clottey down

[bojangles1987]

1. His defense needs to be at its best. Clottey is really good at neutralizing those big combos with his high guard. He'll need to do this early.

2. Get those shots to the body in. Clottey is almost certainly going to be best early, and Pac will be ready to slug. Clottey needs to make sure he is getting those body shots in.

3. Use his size. Clinch, lean, use his size in every way he can. The only way Clottey wins this fight is wearing Pac down.

If he does these three things and Pac wears down a little late, Clottey could win by late KO or TKO. Whether he will be able to is a different story.
