    Experts POLL: Pacquiao-Clottey

    The results are in...Joshua, look away now.

    Adam Booth: Pacquiao is too fast for him. Clottey is strong but strength doesnt win you fights. Pacquiao will be drilling him with fast shots and and I cant see him getting caught or tied up. I dont think Pacquiao will stop him though.

    Craig McEwan: I wouldnt take Clottey lightly, he can punch and he can take a good shot as well. I still think Manny will overwhelm him. Ive been watching him sparring and they are trying to give Manny a go but hes just been all over them. Theres no stopping Manny just now anyway.

    John Murray: I think Clottey is strong and he can cause problems for Pacquiao. Its certainly going to be a tough fight but over the course of 12 rounds I think Pacquiaos speed will prove the difference and it will just be too much for Clottey. Pacquiao wins on points.

    Darren Barker: Pacquiao on points. He could stop him but its Clotteys biggest night and I think hell hear the final bell. If Pacquiao does stop him, I will not be surprised one bit. Id be absolutely gobsmacked if Clottey were to win.

    Frankie Gavin: Pacquiao, hes too good all-round. I think Clotteys good, hes tough and he might make him work. But theres only one winner Pacquiao. I think itll be a wide unanimous decision. Hell just be too good technically for him and too fast.

    Kell Brook : Pacquiao will be too quick for him. Hell chuck a lot of combinations, in and out. But I dont think hell stop Clottey, I think hell probably beat him on points. It will be a tough, tough fight. Clotteys a hard-goer type fighter, so I think if anyone hes the man to do it but I think Pacquiao will be too much for him.

    Timothy Bradley Pacquiao by knockout. Hell catch Clottey with combinations, break down that guard and Clotteys not going to know where hes at. Pacquiaos too quick, hell be circling Clottey and can break him down to body and head.

    Danny Garcia: Pacquiao will win because hes busier, but itll go the distance. He can win a decision, unanimous, around 116-112. Pacquiaos fast, and you know Clottey works off his defence, but Mannys always firing, moving around, he throws from weird angles and those things will win him the fight.

    Devon Alexander: It depends, you cant take Clottey for granted, he does have more power than Pacquiao. But if he comes to cover up and not punch, Manny will drill him all night and win a decision. If he doesnt throw shots and give Pacquiao movement, it wont work, but Clottey is solid at 147, and he can hit Pacquiao and hurt him. Overall, Pacquiao might be too fast for him, might.

    Tony Bellew: I think its going to be hard for Pacquiao for the first five or six rounds and then his speed is going to take over. Ive just got a funny feeling that he could get hurt in this fight and could hit the floor but I think hes going to get up to win. Id be very surprised if he stopped Clottey and if he did it would be down to sheer exhaustion.
