    If Clottey beats Pac...

    Josh has a better chance than Cotto in this fight. Clottey's got a better chin and defense than Miguel. He's naturally bigger and more durable.

    Clottey is an average sized man, about 5'9'', probably walks around about 180-190lbs in decent shape. But when he entered the ring at 170lbs for a Welterweight fight, ripped and in tremendous shape, he's considered huge for the division. Manny is a small man, about 5'6'', and struggling to weigh as much as a Welterweight.

    So yes, Clottey has a very good chance at beating the Pacman. Pac's gonna have to be extraordinary this Saturday, luckily for him, he's an extraordinary fighter.

    Well anyway, so what if Clottey does beat Manny? I'd like to see a Clottey - Cotto rematch, it's a natural fit. And Manny to move back to 140lbs. There is so much talent at Jr Lightweight and I think Manny could clean out the division.

    IMHO if Clottey wins he could fight winner of the PBF-Mosley fight then both losers can fight on the undercard ...

        The only thing Pac has to worry about is that super lunging headbutt.

        A bad cut could derail this fight.

          That would be a natural fight to make as well, but I don't think Manny should hang around at 147 if he loses to Clottey.

            I agree on the cut. He should worry about that straight right hand lead from Clottey as well. But I think Pac will be on the move in this fight.

              For the underlined it was a bit of an exaggeration. He was 170 with jeans and what not on the unofficial scale. I'm starting to think the bold is exaggerated too. I was reading the other day they have Pac walking around a little under 155. He may have to be carefull not to lose too much weight when he trains but I don't think he struggles to end end up around 147.

                Pac's still a small man while Clottey is the size of the average man. It will show in the ring. The size difference will be more than the Cotto fight.

                    yes it would be logical fight and clottey may not bring in the star power, but PAC-PBF/Mosley in the undercard would be make it the mega event that it should be...

                    IMHO if PAC loses their is no one @140 that can give PAC a bigger fight than loser of PAC/PBF, we got to remember PAC wont be fighting for long, it could be 1 or 2 more fights after clottey ...
