    i think Pac will go down because he has been fighting cavemen lately...loose guards and wide punches.

    So Pac will come in hot and get caught at least once and go down.

    but he stays so busy and Clottey is a sporadic puncher so Pac will win every round.

    much like the Marquez fight.

    all in all Manny will come out of this fight looking less incredible.

    he is still a great fighter but some of his aura will be gone
    That's quite an interesting take and I can definitely see that happening. But I can't help but think about how many times I've believed that before. Pacquiao is on quite a run. Amazing how the tires haven't started to fall off. He steamrolled Cotto. That fight could've ended in four, man. So I won't be so surprised if he does it to Clottey, a fighter who has all the skills but lacks intangibles.

      damn, now clottey is doomed for sure.
      no he picked pacman

      but he said pacman will go to the canvas at least once because he will be gunning for the knockout but Clotteys guard will hold up unlike Cotto and Hatton.

      but Pac will win every single round other than the knockout round so Teddy picks Pacman

      like i said think of it as the marquez fight.

          it really will depend on how Pacquiao can adapt.

          not to take away from his great accomplishments but Hatton and Cotto were cavemen compared to Clottey.

          Clottey has the size, power, and the better guard.

          First truely bigger guy Pac has fought.

          Cotto was never the bigger guy even tho everyone was hyping that.

          Clotteys downfall will be his lack of work.

The only real lost hes had in his career was a UD lost to Marg (?wraps?). Every WW respects Clottey in and out of the ring. This is why FloydSr is saying If he KOs Clottey thats means he on something. because he knows himself how tough He is. Clottey maynot be the best fighter out there but hes grainted. If manny KOs Clottey it will send a message to the Mayweather camp or should i say another message.
            pac will knock clottey out. the styles are PERFECT for pac to get a knock out. clottey is not this great warrior that pacfarts are trying to hype him up as. i REALLY didn't like when he couldn't stop crying in the cotto fight. it was unbelievable.

                  its only lackluster to people who dont know ****.

                  Clottey is a tough SOB and doesnt get the respect he deserves...he just doesnt have a TV friendly style or name.

                  As a fan i like the match up.

                  but by looking on career path alone i think its a big risk to Pac's legacy...but i cant knock the guy for fighting someone tough.

                    please ellaborate on how these styles match perfectly.

                    Clottey has an untouchable guard much like Arthur Abraham.

                    and Pac's success is based on speed and footwork.

                    Pac's style matches up perfectly with Cotto and Hatton thats why we saw the exciting knockouts he gave us.

                    GTFO
