How can you criticize Pacquiao for fighting Clottey?

I have no idea how anyone can criticise Pacquiao for fighting Clottey.
Clottey is dangerous and a true top 5 welterweight who argueably beat Cotto ( alot thought he won), had a competitive fight with Margarito where he withstood 1675 punches from Margarito with a injured left hand and still lasted the distance.
Clottey's got a very tough defense and is durable, he has a stiff jab, sneaky lead right hand and is effective at putting punches together. His uppercuts are pretty good also. Clottey can also fight on the backfoot or coming forward. His only flaw is his workrate late in fights.
He will not be easy for Pacquiao. Clottey is the sort of fighter that makes you look bad.
I see Pacquiao outworking him to a decision.

You can criticize Pac because he is fighting another come forward fighter who has no movement. He is fighting a guy who walks forward with his guard up and lets you swing at him. As good as Clottey is (and he is good) he is not a slick fighter with mobility like we have al lbeen begging Pac to fight since Marquez.

Its another face first flat footed fighter Bully.
Clottey lost every big fight hes ever had does this win count as cleaning out the divison.
When Marg and Cotto ALREADY beat him??

Pac is not fighting a "slick African/American" so he will be criticized.. he is fighting a pure "African" and not "African/American" Detractors have always excuses... ..

joshua is very dangerous, bigger and durable fighter. imo, this is a good tune up fight for pac in preparation in case pac-floyd happens. joshua got a good defense and quick hands. this fight will serve a very good advantage for team pac, good strategy i should say.

I think this a dangerous fight for Pacquiao and there should be some interest in it... yet its not the fight the majority of us want to see.
