    These are long odds in a two horse race. One guy is going to weigh 170 and the other will be still 147 on fight night.

    Interesting, but I go for Pac because he will fight in and out, Clotteys's only chance is a knockout punch or if he let his hands go non stop which I doubt it

    Yeah it's definitely worth some money even with covering it with a Pac bet also, and you can get 40-1 on Clottey in rounds 10-12.

    But didn't Clottey say he'll be 155 max on fight night? I saw it on here not sure if it was bs or not

    i would....biggest guy manny has fought has the handspeed and the defence to not get caught as easily like cotto. and has enough foreward momentum to back manny up...which i think is the only way he could win.

    im going by this hunch because the guys who have backed pac up looked the best. morales I, marquez I & II. also cotto looked pretty succesful until the knockdowns happend and that was because he was on the inside.

    Clottey has already beaten Judah and the late Corrales. He looked good in losing to Cotto and Margarito. Clottey is definitely a very live underdog! He won't be weight drained and will be the first BIG welterweight that Pacquiao will face.

    I would not bet on 50-1 against Clottey.

    I'd drop a few hundred, the payoff would be a nice vacation to vegas with a pair of tickets to a fight going on out there.

    Yeah but not my entire account. Maybe a few hundred. Clottey is going to be a better fight than Cotto due to his speed and his good fast punching. He has tools but will his mental make up hold up. Will he do what it takes or do just enough to lose. Who knows maybe Clottey is happy just being there maybe he is content for the check the PPV in the big stadium. He does not seem like that mean mother****er that I think it takes but he can win.
