    :lol:. You really are as pathetic in real life. Best of luck with the grad school entrance exams. I know you'll do just fine.

    They didn't even announce their fight night weights in that fight. Clottey already weighs in the low 150's as late as last week. I don't expect him to put on too much weight. 160 lbs. is probably the max he would come in at. Regardless, weight is the only advantage he has in this fight and his fighting style won't allow him to take full advantage of it.

    Weight is not his only advantage.


    He has a better defense, and he has a better chin. His deficit in handspeed is not as great as people like to make it seem, and his timing will negate that deficit even further.


    He will batter the poor little fell, who still has no idea of what he's in for.

    Clottey is done. No way in hell is he winning this fight. This is a guy who is famous for losing to Top Rank fighters. He's a plodder, he doesn't move his head, and he doesn't let his hands go. Pacquiao is going to eat him for lunch. To make matters worse, Clottey's own promoter is stacking the deck against him. Clottey is not going to have a full 8 week camp, he's not getting the proper sparring(Pac has already sparred over 24 rounds compared to 6 for Clottey), he doesn't have his trainer, and he has a makeshift corner. This guy is just happy to get a payday. Clottey was handpicked for a reason.

    Typical Manny and Arum. They are shady characters.

    well to be fair I'd bet on Pac against ANYONE at this stage, not just Clottey.

    This fight's just becoming more of a farce, I thought it was bad enough when Clottey's trainer was stuck in Ghana.

    Clottey's battering ram cranium could be the equalizer.

    And Josh's tight, inside uppercuts can catch a guy with a featherweight chin unawares and drop the guy like a sack of potatoes.

    The dude dont have a trainer.. One sparring partner.. no real training gym.. He is pretty much in it for the pay day. This is as half ass effort on his part being he has to be getting a decent purse to at least get 2 sparring partners and train at a more adequate gym. There is a difference in mood between Mosley and Clottey. Mosley is coming to win and Clottey is coming to lose. He dont even have the right mindset to win the fight mentally.

    If Clottey can make it 12 rounds then he will have something to be proud of, not to many people have been able to do that lately against Pac.

    If Pac can get the stoppage than it will be worth watching.

    As far as betting the house, u never know what can happen and Clotteys head could be the x factor, and turn the whole fight around.
