    They can both challenge for the Quaker State title. Marco can challenge Luis Ramos for the QS Title at lightweight, and assuming Johnny can still make bantamweight in his new campaign, he can challenge Abner Mares for his prestigious Quaker State belt.

    Clottey couldn't be stopped by Margarito and Cotto.
    He has proven he is a very durable fighter.
    However Pacman has become such a great fighter he will win by a mid round tko.

    Pacquiao will win a relatively comfortable UD with some awkward moments.

    Clottey is a front runner, he might cause Pacquiao problems early on but the fight will end up with Pacman winning by via K.O in the late rounds.

    That's kind of overstated, IMO. Popular opinions on a boxer's traits tend to stem from their highest-profile exposures as opposed to their whole body of work. Yes, Clottey surrendered late momentum to Cotto and yes, Margarito won most of the second half of their bout. The majority of the time he's fairly consistent from bell to bell.

    Of course, there's the school of thought that you should look exclusively to performances in "big fights" to predict future big fight behaviors - but personally, Clottey gets the benefit of the doubt from me on his ability to win deep rounds for now...if he chokes and fades in the latter stages against Pacquiao I'll jump aboard.

    E.d.p. Tko 10 j.c.

    Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao will probably deliver the worst beating of Clottey life. I see Clottey will take punches, Clottey will not answer those punches from E.D.P late in the fight.

    im watching this fight just to see in in the stadium.. not too excited about the match up to be honest.. CLottey just seemed too happy and likes Pac. Not very fired up personally for this...

    Pac gets respect for taking this fight. Call it what you want the man is a top ten WW.

    I still see it as a fight tailor made for Manny. Clottey will fade or assume he has it one and will have lost ALL rounds and given away the last two rounds.

    My guess is Manny by SD, but my hopes are Clottey by KO.

    Clottey will be an easy night for Pac if he is 100%,if he is on top form i dont see he Clottey can compete with him.It will be over inside 5.Clottey will either be cut to ribbons and unable to go on,or it will be like Hatton.

    Manny will be 125% for this fight. He controls the cards and the drug testing.

    Clotteys trainer stuck in Ghana.. pick another trainer buddy.. this will only make the fight more one-sided
