I see a lot of people claiming that Clottey is a dangerous opponent for Pacquiao. I personally don't see it. Clottey has 1 KO in his last 11 fights including a NC, 2 losses, and is a fairly stationary target. (Career: 20 KOs with 35 wins and 3 losses) Other than his chin, what assets does Clottey have that presents a challenge for Pacquiao??? I think this is going to be an extremely lop-sided fight. Clottey is going to be a walking punching bag for Manny, not much else. Lack of foot-speed and lateral movement will allow Pacquiao to get off his punches whenever he wants while Clottey will be forced to sit with his hands up, reducing his work-rate.
For two reasons 1.Because he has a big ass head and likes to butt with it. 2.Because he is an upcoming opponent for Pac and *******s have labeled him so.
Becuase he's hard to beat. He may not hit very hard, may not have the best record, but if we stop looking at paper and actually see what he brings to the table you'll see he's a tough fighter, with a solid defence and sneaky offense. He's dangerous because stylistically he brings dificulties to most fighters.
In his last 11 fights Clottey has 8 wins, 2 losses, and a NC with only 1 KO. 1 KO in 11 fights!!!!! That makes Mayweather Jr. look like Mike Tyson. How is that considered a dangerous opponent? Stylistically, how does he present a problem for Pacquiao? Other than his chin, what asset does Clottey have that could cause Pacquiao problems? Being a "tough fighter" just means he can take punches. How does Clottey compensate for the huge disadvantage in foot-speed and lateral movement?
Because he's got good fundamentals and a mean left hook, or a tripple left hook should I say? And he's likely to make Pacquiao look bad.
I don't see how anybody can't see that this is a pure cherry picked opponent. And I am a Pacquiao fan.
I am the farthest thing in the world from a *******. But I honestly feel like this is the end of the road for Pac. I will miss the little fella...:verysad
Numbers mean nothign to a lot of people he beat Judah and Cotto recently !!! IS Floyd gonna fight a dangerous 47 fighter ever this is the question ? Tell me a tougher WW that Pac couldve fought?
