    If fights only lasted 4 rounds then Clottey might be my pick. As it is I think Pac will make him fight for every second and Clottey will struggle to cope with it.

    I also don't think that just a great defence works that well on Pac. You need to be a good counter puncher as well. If you block 3 of his punches, he'll just throw a fourth. If you can make him miss the first and then land something in return like JMM did then you have a very competitive fight. Pac's speed, accuracy and the angles he uses means that he'll be able to land on Clottey easier than Cotto or Margarito did.
    I feel you...

    But..........

    Clottey is a very good counter puncher. He just doesn't do it with movement. Maybe that is what you mean, but in any event, Clottey's counter game is there.

      I guess what I mean is that he puts up his guard and he waits for his opponent to stop punching quite often.

        I got what you were saying. Many feel that Pac will out work Clottey, and that is cool. If you go off past fights, I see how people can feel that way.

        Besides the counter punching, I also feel Clotteys speed will give Pac problems..

          Not too long to go now. I'm thinking Pacquiao by decision, but there is something in the air tonight. A change in the wind.

          Something crazy is going to happen tonight.
