    Do You Think Clottey Will Put His 3" Reach Advantage To Good Use?

    Clottey has a 3 inch reach advantage against Pacquiao. 67" vs 70". Hatton has a 65" reach, two inches less than Pacquiao. Cotto has a 67" same as Pacquiao. De La Hoya had a 6" reach advantage with 73" but wasn't active enough to even use it.

    So will this be Pacquiao's first fight at 140+ that he will be fighting against a strong opponent who has physical advantages on him?

    What will be the best way for Clottey to use his reach advantage? Jab Pacquiao from far? or should he forget about the reach/height advantage and make it an ugly fight and smother Pacquiao's speed/fight an inside fight?

    Only if he could be consistent in fighting ALL OF THE ROUNDS and not take any off as he’s known for doing.

      I think he may try to use his jab but I think Pac will be too quick. Clottey will result back to being defensive.

        No. Clottey is a very simple styled fighter that will pose no threat to Pac if he is as great as his fans claim.

          Clottey should try counter Manny, not walk to him.
