Clottey Claims He'll Attack Pacquiao And Be Highly Offensive - Do You Believe Him?

No fighter in the history of boxing would let a guy pound away HOPING to score points on defense. That's a pretty silly assumption on your part. Plus it takes away from what Cotto was doing.

 

even if he thinks that now, he'll change his mind once the fight comes. being highly offensive is not clottey's style. if he comes out doing anything but what he's always done, he might actually get knocked out.

 

He never has done so in the past, and he always had a low workrate and falls into a shell in the mid-late rounds.

An animal does not change its stripes and its bad habits, Clottey may think he's going to come out smoking, but he never did so in the past and once he gets tagged he'll go back to being his old self.

Thats where we disagree. I think he is that stupid.

 

Its not only against Cotto, but also against Margarito and Baldomir.
A fighter like him does not change overnight, he'll go back to his habits and he's never been a high intensity/volume puncher, come on. He was never a hard puncher, look at his fight with Diego Corrales, at ****ing 149lbs on the scales.. probably 170-175 fight night against Corrales 150.

In short, Clottey is a fighter who depends on his turtle shell and left hook, that's all there is to him. He'll never be a high volume puncher for many rounds, he'll fade and start going into his shell, simple as.

 

Fight someone and show him how it's done....

 

I think Clotty needs to remain defensive for this fight and counter pac. Pac is able to KD guys because he lands punches his opponents don't see. If Clotty can block pac's punches and counter in spots, he can land the more damaging blow while not taking to many in return. I don't feel Clotty has the hand speed to match pac offensively.

 

Clottey is looking like a beast right now!

 

Even this beast will not win a brawl with Pacquiao

 

I don't think he will be any different. I think he will look less active than normal only because he will be forced to pick up his feet a lot by Pac. And he will be handcuffed by pacs offense due to his use of the peek a boo style defense.

 

Once he gets hit by Pac he will know why Void is so afraid.

 

I told a guy a work tonight: "Clottey looks better losing fights than anyone I've ever seen. He'll look good at times, but he won't do enough to win. At the end of the day, he'll fight a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!"

 

Thats what he wants to do, what he will be able to do is another story. Good Luck Joshua
