    He doesnt he was in clothes and shoes when weighing 170, meaning he wasnt 170, try 160

    Clottey is a very, very big welterweight who has a hard time making the weight. He is no different from some of the MMA fighters who put on 20 pounds after the weigh-ins. I remember the scandal when Arturo Gatti weighed 160 lbs in the ring against Joey Gamache when the contracted weight was 140 pounds.

    Freddie Roach said that he expects Clottey to come in at 165.

    He was 155 against Judah, not sure he looks a load bigger than Pac

    Not sure if you saw the weigh-ins but Clottey dwarfed Pacquiao.

    Thanks for posting I hadnt seen that, Clottey certainly has a bit of height/reach, its hard to tell how much due to Clotteys stooping, muscularity wise they're pretty much on par and Pac will have the bigger denser legs

    I'm hoping Clottey doesnt throw a spanner in the works here of the super fight :scaredas:I'm sure Arrum would love an in-house trilogy

    It would be arguably the worst missed opportunity in all boxing history. I fully expect Pacquiao to win here though.

    Is it just me, or does Pacquiao have a huge head for his body.

    Also although physical measurements dont attest to this but Pacquiao has the better reach in as far he will be able to hit Clottey from further away than Clottey can hit him.

    Pacquiao is so quick on his feet he can almost double his range by stepping into his punches, and he does this. Clottey very rarely steps in with his punches, so the long rnage battle is one sided in favout of Pac

    I take it you've never weighed yourself with all your clothes and shoes and again just wearing you're underwear? Shoes can weigh 4-5, so can you're clothes
