Pacquiao: "I would want to go toe-to-toe with Clottey"

[BoxingHistory]

Pac has to get close to Clottey to impliment the plan they have because of his short arms. He can't just fight from the outside because Clottey will block most of those shots. In this fight u will see Manny try to do a variety of things because a lot of the stuff he is use to doing is not going to work on Clottey. I can't wait until this fight because if u listen to the fans...Clottey should just show up and get his check because he is going to get beat like a rag doll something that has never happen in his career... but luckily the beauty of boxing is...the fight has to be won in the ring not won on paper. What's going to become clear in the fight early is that Manny punches won't have the effect they had on Cotto on Clottey. I can't wait to see Clottey laugh and shake his head at Manny after a Manny flurry. This is going to drive Freddie Roach nuts because he is going to know early in the fight that Manny is going to have to fight 12 hard rounds with a opponent who is not going anywhere.

Pac could go toe to toe and IF he lands the first good punch between the 2 of them, it could show good results.
But when you are in front, face to face with Clottey he is dangerous. If you look at him on the pads.
Safer to box clottey i would say Pac. Just make sure your punches land on him, from all angles and dont take his punches and then you got it.

Me thinks this is a propaganda via the media....

Just like Norman Swarzkopf statement during the first Persian Gulf war talking about the "storming the beach".....then opted for the flank attacks.

Everyone knows that no boxer would really talk about real strategy and revealing his real intent BEFORE any fights.

If Pacquiao goes toe-to-toe with Clottey, what happens?--He wins....because he's roided.
