    Well, considering Clottey couldn't even stop a shaky chinned blown up lightweight after hitting him with everything but the ring stools and ring posts, I'd say the chances he stops the solid chinned, 1st or 2nd best P4P fighter in the sport is very unlikely.

    More like a forgone delusion. I like Clottey too but his style is perfect for Pac. Clottey can throw some crisp fast combos, but he's inconsistent, sometimes covers up for too long, and doesn't use the jab enough. Clottey also slows down in the 2nd half of fights and that in it self would make it hard to win a decision.

    Clottey is fast but Pac is faster and much more active, and I see Pac ripping him to the body and catching him with hooks to the head. Clottey also looks for ways out of fights when it gets tough and it will get tough against Pac.

    Clottey will be tough to hit but as soon as he opens up he is gonna get busted up.

    He will test Pac for a while but he will get broken down, maybe not stoped but I don't think it will be very close.

    see the thing is alot of fans get blinded by the Neon. Pacs. fast hands and rolling assault when he throws. in this fight Clottey weakness (his spurt attacks) actually favor him. pac thrives agaist fighter who attack him ,trade or try to out work him. Clottey pac will find it difficult to get through with his punches and with the jab hitting him it'll just make him even more fustrated. he'll start to throw his hands up in a "Lets fight" motion to sucker clottey into a trading session. mad styles match up for pac who doesn't particually look well against counter punchers and fighters who fight defensively . he also has trouble with hard nosed tough dirty fighters.

    I don't think clottey can win a decision because of politics....

    If clottey can slow the pace of the fight, he has a good chance to win....I expect josh to neutralize some of the pacquiao offense, and you will see Manny's connect and punch-output decrease in this fight...

    At the end of the day clottey just doesn't throw enough to take a convincing decision....I don't think he has enough power to take Pacquiao out by a TKO....

    I expect a close fight...

    U hit the nail on the head, that what I was thinking. Pacman is fighting a defensive boxer, Clottey will eventually define the pace after Pacs initial flurry and then the toll of eating jab after jab will start to take it toll, Pacman will remember how to lose again and he will lose on Mar 13 to the Nightmare that is Clottey.

    If Clottey can somehow land a counter shot like the uppercut he landed on Margarito he'll be good.

    Clottey will not win a decision under no circumstances. The ONLY way he wins a decision is by knocking down Pac in a few rounds. Beyond that, just won't happen. He has to KO or TKO him.
