How come people are giving Clottey much less of a chance then they gave Cotto.

[AllEyesOpen]

Just curious. I would say Clottey has about the same chance at beating Pacquiao as Cotto did.

[KRITKL]

I think Cotto had a better chance, cuz he could move better. Clottey is too stationary. But, if Pac fights Clottey like he did Cotto he might be in for trouble.

[savorduhflavor]

Cause Cotto is a bigger puncher and is more aggressive.

Clottey is quite simply too passive. He doesn't have the power to hurt Pac, and if he can't hurt Pac he's going to get outworked and/or stopped.

because Cotto had a much better chance...

[geribeetus]

cotto has more power and throws more than clottey so offensively he had a better shot against pac. clottey's tougher though so he's got a better chance at going the full 12 rounds without getting beaten senseless. cotto's a good mover until he's losing, then he just tries to survive while his opponent goes all out on him. since clottey's harder to break down pac will probably be more cautious against him.

I see him getting outworked, but stopped i doubt.

I'm just curious cause there was a lot of talk about Cotto being the first legit ww Pac fought and how it was going to be a war. In the end it was an old fashioned ass-whoppin'.

I think Clottey will lose but it wont be easy or pretty for Pacquiao and far from a KO or stoppage.

Because at the time there were some unanswered questions about how he would handle a legitimate welterweight, especially one that could ****. He passed the test with flying colors and hence the reason Clottey now doesn't seem like much of a threat.

That, and the fact i feel subconciously some people think since cotto is a bigger name it makes him better.

also. thats great thing of bhop you got in your sig, im not even gonna lie when he looked at everyone like that, i really teared up a bit. cause i knew how he felt and ****...bhops the man.

haha yeah. anyone else staring down the press would probably be corny. bhop can do childlike **** and make it look cold as ice. imagine mayweather or pac wearing an executioner's mask. i'd feel embarrassed for them.
