DLH just said on BT that they are talking about it but nothing is signed yet. Shows that Campbell is now on top of the list.
Clottey is the best fight available to Pac at 147, in this time frame, there's no question about that. I'm simply not that interested in it. Pac should be able to win this fight on points using the same strategy he used against DLH. Step in, unload a combo, slip, move to the side, step out. He can keep it up for 12 rounds, and Clottey tends to take his foot off the gas anyway. He's also not very good at mixing offense and defense. He's either in defensive more or in offensive mode. Pac will hit him while he's in defensive mode and be gone before he can retaliate. He also isn't a noted strong puncher. His KO percentage is 57%, lower even than Mayweather's, and of his last 10 fights only one ended in a stoppage, and most of those fights weren't exaclty against top drawer competition. His only real advantage in this fight is that he's very durable, and very big. But that's not enough to get him a win against a faster, more mobile, more active, and harder punching opponent.
Freddie Roach: Hell come into this fight like 144-145 and hell go into the ring at 148 or 149 at most and thats his best fighting weight, Roach said. The Trainer of the Year recipient stated that Pacquiao is comfortable fighting at 147 lbs. Making 135 was a bit of a struggle, making 140, we can make 140 with ease, but he likes the extra strength, he likes eating the day of the weigh-in, added Roach. When Mannys eating the day of the weigh-in and gets to eat twice before the weigh-in, hes happy, and thats when he performs at his best, when hes smiling and in a good mood. Hes not in an angry mood because hes starving himself. I'd say that makes him a legitimate welterweight who can also still make JWW if he tries, not the reverse.
scar is a ******* lol it doesn't matter who he fights in march it matters who he fights after...mosely berto or pac....times running out floyd jan 1st of 2011 I will no longer be a fan
yeah and cintron or bradley or malignaggi was a huge threat....just wait til he whoops pac mosely or berto in the summer....meanwhile pac can get all the glory for fighting a nobody ww like clottey
LOL at all of this, and they are talking about April...he could fight the Shane-Berto winner by then! Even worse it might be on HBO, Floyd will be eating up the HBO budget ala DLH-Forbes, I would much rather see this tank on PPV.
at ww yes ...bradley pac would be a real fight though....i am not sold that clottey is even top 5 tho with collazzo, quintana and cintron...but yeah it is a good name...meaningless and he has no chance but that is besides the point
