After watching Road to Dallas....

[BoxingHistory]

You don't think Pacquiao will be equally as motivated? The guy will miss out on the biggest pay day of his career against Mayweather should he lose, he will feel as though he's let down his country, a fact made worse with his political elections coming up, he is expected to win and so will be feeling the pressure.

On top of that, Pacquiao has the speed, the movement and the power to prove all sorts of problems for a type of fighter in Clottey who Pac will always look good against.

Tell me, what can Clottey do to bust up Manny, besides headbutting him?

I'm sure Pacquiao will be motivated. He has no choice if he wants to make this a fight. If I was him I would not be thinking about a future biggest payday with Mayweather because he already blew his chance with that. As far as his country is concerned he knows they will support him whether he wins or loses so that doesn't factor in.

Pacquiao has everything you have listed and I'm glad that u made a list because the one thing that is not on your list is defense. And this is where Clottey will make him pay. Pac throws a lot of punches and that's why a counterpuncher is his worst nightmare. He gets caught in exchanges because he throws caution to the wind when he punches. Clottey will take full advantage of this and make him pay. Pac will get dropped in this fight. It will be more because of him being off balanced when he throws his punches. He pulls his leg off the ground and lunges forward on one leg. A quick counter will put him on his pants.

A lot of fans will be surprised at what Clottey will be able to do. He is going to impose his will on Manny. Manny will not want to trade with him. He will not get caught in the pocket. Freddie Roach even said that Manny needs to stay out the pocket. The key punch for this fight will be the uppercut of Clottey's. Freddie Roach is already worried about it because it comes straight up the middle-textbook.

My question is this...If Manny has all the advantages over Clottey and will present all sorts of problems for him then when Clottey wins then what does that make Manny?

[-EX-]

No...still think Pac will win...

The thought of Clottey being stopped entered my head cuz of Roach but I think it'll see the cards...

Clottey is a good counter puncher, but not on the skill level of a JMM. He also is far from active enough to be an effective counter puncher against Manny. He will need to double is usual activity in this fight and exhange with Pac at some point.

No it didn't. Clottey didn't admit that he made the mistake of letting Cotto throw punches at the end of that fight. He will always have the mentality of a guy stuck in second gear and nothing will change that.

is this you?... Paranoid to hell. I think he was screaming "Pacs on PEDs"

the guy was on what he thinks is a-side-meth, he wanted to light a cigarette at the gas station and blow it up and see if it works
