Mayweather vs. Jushua Clottey.. how do u think this fight will go down?

[DR.ORGYY]

very hard fight,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Anti~Jalandoni]

It will be a decision...Pacquiao failed to rock him, I don't see Floyd succeeding....



Floyd will still win and Clottey lacks fans, so less money = vacation

[DontHitMyNuts]

I think joshua is one of the best inside fighters in the game today..he is also also one the sports elite counterpunchers. This fight comes down to whether floyd still has his legs...................clottey struggles with elite footspeed/movement. IMO if floyd stood in front of him like he did with mosley he'd be in for a long night. But i think floyd outboxes him on the outside.

floyd is gonna have to use his legs and some range to effectively outpoint him CLEARLY. joshua robs rounds off his opponents by luring them in the inside, blocking most punches off his guard and sneaking in beautiful 1-2's and properly timed counters. You notice he doesn't follow through his flurries since often he doesn't have to and he just resets to his original guard. In most instances, he wins rounds based off connects and making opponents look bad with his defense.

he will probably try to pressure floyd into a corner though to put him in range, but we all know he aint letting his hands go for floyd to counter

Anybody who thinks a fight between Mayweather & Clottey would be competitive is obviously low on boxing knowledge.

Exactly..i think judah showed the blueprint which any fastfooted/handed fighter could emulate. zab just made a mistake of standing in front of him...notice manny also got tagged when he stood right in front of clottey. IMO i think joshua beats mosley in a close fight as well as berto. I think floyd can also mug him on the inside however he'd just be making the fight harder than it has to be for him.............they'd put up a a foty performance if they both fought inside tho

[check hook]

I honestly think this fight will be fought on the inside for 12 rounds and can be a good fight (although many might find extremely boring). I was just watching chico's defeat against clottey and people are seriously underrating clottey's game as an inside fighter. This guy patiently dismantled chico, even though he had a much lesser workrate and at times still making diego look ****y when he takes a breather behind his guard. So if mayweather tried to press and open up or engage in a clinch and hold game, his ass might be in for a treat since his opponent is just as intelligent on the inside game as he is.

Again you are way off on this first part. Why would Floyd go inside against Clottey. clottey is a great inside fighter.....he likes it there because he can explode out of the guard and the opponent will be there....he doesn't need to move his feet to find you. I agrree with you that Clottey's inside game is excellent.

Floyd will fight outside.....potshot and move, making Clottey reset.....similar to Pac, but way less punches and workrate so Clottey would do better.

You would see Floyd throwing that jab to the body more than you have seen him do it in any other fight.....he would also follow with the looping right after the jab to the body to get by the guard....then move off.

Clottey by way of TKO rd 10. Mayweather breaks his hands on clotteys high guard gloves

Mayweather would literally throw 10 punches a round, landing 4 or 5. Clottey would throw 10 in return, landing none to one.

Seriously this fight would be a boring UD with hardly any punches thrown.

Clottey is copping it for his performance against Pac, but his Pac and P Williams style is Clottey kryptonite. Put Clottey in with Berto, Mosley, Canelo or Cotto (whom i thought he beat) and some of the others at 147 and you will see the damage he can do.

[check hook]

An ugly 12 round decision. Average punch output per round will probably be around 12-15 from both fighters. PBF may even be the first fighter since Willie Pep to win a round without landing a single punch in this fight LOL

Expect the crowd to slowly diminish after each passing round ala PBF vs Baldomir.

exactly............

exactly...elite footspeed and or volume(because he's a counterpuncher) beats clottey. I think he only fights for paychecks....if he was smart enough he'd accept a less paying paycheck to fight angulo and if he wins= a lucrative rematch with cotto for 154 'supremacy?'
