Originally posted by harwri008 View PostGarcia beats him. Clottey was a decent boxer but he would never get out of 1st or 2nd gear. He was ahead of Margarito and then he decided to coast the last half of the fight and lose. He was happy shelling up and letting Pacquiao tee off on him. He threw like 4 punches per round and the one or two that landed left Pacquiao bruised up. Garcia would eek out a decision because Clottey would make no effort to win.

Clottey didn't let his hands go enough, but perhaps with Garcia that's not bad as Danny relies a lot on counters and isn't that fast on his feet. Clottey was strong so may be a tough out for Garcia. Garcia often fights to his opponents level and Clottey also seemed like one of those guys to always fall just a little short.
I'd pick Clottey but suspect it's a fairly close fight.
