    I wonder what the odds are on a Pacquiao shut-out?

    Clottey IS a good fighter, imo. Pacquiao is on a whole other level though, and I'd be surprised if Clottey wins more than three rounds to be honest. Pacquiao's great speed and movement will do it.

    You're going to look like every other ****** making a baseless and ******ly confident prediction on here when Pacquiao beats the **** out of Clottey. :lol:

    Its obvious you're biased, very, for very "personal" reasons for Clottey. But thats alright, we'll be here to listen to you cry like a ****ing child come Clottey's embarrassing loss, which seemingly everyone but you sees coming.

    There's no betting on rounds won, at least from what I've seen. Either who wins, or what round the fighter wins.

    Well it sounds good. He does know boxing, but lets see if what he says now is what happens in the fight. Obviously Clottey is not as good as Pacman.

    I bet Clottey will go in as 170lbs.

    pac likely wont win by ko. pac dosent hit hard enough but clottey gets so passive during his matches that pac might just stop with a barrage of punches. pac should win a wide decision.

    Roach sees what I see. Clottey is open to the body and isn't that great a counterpuncher. That being said when he lets go of his offense, it can be quite impressive

    Bottom line, Manny is simply too good for Clottey. Like Roach said ability wins fights and noone tops Pac in that department.

    Pac will outbox, outfight, outscore, and outland Clottey. Just like he did to Cotto.

    when it comes to fighting Pac, not many fighters are good.

    If Pac was fighting Mosley, Roach would be there explaining how Mosley has gotten old and his reflexes aren't what they used to be.

    If Pac was fighting Marquez again, Roach would be there saying how Marquez is unable to adjust to higher weightclasses.

    etc. etc. etc.

    The only fighter Roach says would be a challenge is Floyd. Everyone else... I don't think so. He might have said something good at some point but once he starts breaking down tapes, he finds flaws everywhere.
