    at the weigh ins, clottey looked like a beast compared to pac man. he was way bigger and taller. clottey came in at 147, while manny came in @ 145, barely. not to mention, this is clotteys natural weight....whereas pac man obviously had to try and make the weight...he didnt.
    anyone who knows clottey, knows that he's a devastating puncher. his body shots are among the best in the business. ww have a hard time dealing with them....i would have to think manny will also. i could be wrong. i love both fighters but i hope manny pulls it out. i would be surprised if manny can do it. if clottey does pull it off, good 4 him. :bbb

    I'm of the opposite opinion. I like Clottey a lot but I'd be shocked if Clottey pulled it off. ODLH, Hatton, and Cotto were all bigger than Pacquiao they're not really changing the opponent too much, Pacquiao is fighting bigger fighters who aren't particularly slick (ODLH would be the exception as he was slick in his prime but at that point he wasn't).

    Pacquiao is a 1/8 shot with some bookmakers with one having him at 2/17.

    If you are shocked at him winning then you are in the minority.

    Did you see clottey? he looked ripped and in shape...

    Pacquio didn't look as fit like when he fought cotto, he was even sucking in his stomach and trying to flex to make some of the muscles pop out. Big chance pacquia is not as in shape as last time, clottey hopefully he went trough with what he said he was gonna do and hire someone in fitness so he can have more stamina.

    Although I want pac to win, I really want Clottey to pull it off.

    I've been watching this sport too damn long to be all that shocked when the underdog wins.

    Clottey has 1 TKO win in his last 11 fights since August 2004. Apparently, his opponenets have devastatingly strong midsections.

    You'll be shocked if the fighter that is heavily favored to win pulls it off?

    Ok.......

    clottey was beating baldomir b4 the dq; clottey lost a close fight to marg. (alot of ppl thought that clottey won); clottey beat up on corrales; clottey beat up on judah...and clottey won the cotto fight. i would say that those aforementioned fighters are elite, wouldnt u? would u also that those elite fighters had a hard time dealing with the power and body shots from clottey? i think the statement was accurate and objective. :bbb

    Clottey's fight with Margarito wasn't close.

    Im sick of people saying clotty won the cotto fight, he lost people, it was close but he gave it away by going into a shell.

    He outlanded Cotto in those last rounds.


    You clearly have no idea what the **** you're talking about. If he went into a shell, then what do you think Cotto did?
