    That midget is nowhere near Pacs level. Have Valero beat Bradley:)lol:) and then we'll talk.

    Hell even the super crude guy in my avy can take him.

    Arum must be oblivious to the fact that Pacquiao is running at 1/7 odds against Clottey.

    Does arum give a damn about clottey? He seems to think they lost before even fighting to talk about future pacman fights before they even have fought!

    What despicble character

    If Manny and Floyd Jr. win their fights and a bout between the 2 still doesn't materialize, a Pacquiao-Valero showdown could be a pretty neat consolation for followers of the sport.

    Wonder who the hell Floyd could fight in that scenario.

    Well, the downside to this fight is that it won't be competitive. The upside is that Valero won't be in a position to insist on adequate drug testing. Good chance this fight happens.

    I may be in the minority, but I kind of like this fight..... at least I think I will by the time...... if it materializes. Probably won't. i think it is a leverage thing to use against PBF.

    I don't think he will. Stylistically, I think Pacquiao's sharp shots are going to cut right through Clottey's passive defense. Circumstantially, Clottey has had a terrible training camp, won't have the trainer he's comfortable with, and the list goes on. For the sake of the sport, I hope it's a great fight with the amount of exposure it will get, being at the Stadium and all. Unfortunately I found out I'm going to be out of town that night and have to miss the ****ing fight live. Terrible news for me.

    This would be a great fight . . . in 2 years. Valero has to get back into the states and build his name and move up in weight. frig manny is a knock out artist in the WW division Valero is only a LW, if they gave PBF **** for fighting JMM they would give manny even more ****. Arum is only talking out of his ass because he iis trying to gain leverage over floyd

    Who has ever come near stumbling the guy, not Margo with gloves or any other fighter. There is no way under the sun Pac stops Clottey. Not a Ghanaian fighter. I can bet you on that.:think

    Margarito is a slow plodder, albeit one with loaded gloves. Pacquiao is a sharp puncher with speed and technique. Clottey had a terrible training camp.

    Being from Ghana will do zero for Clottey in this fight.
