    Man this is going to be a real war ,Stop crying and better get ready for classic, Joshua is just honest and realistic it doesnt mean he'll be there to lose.

    Man, the way he talks it's as if he'd be content with just not getting beat as bad as Cotto, Hatton and DLH.

    He's a realist, don't think he wont try his hardest to win. I like both guys but I'll be rooting for Clottey.

    Write it down. Clottey will be competitive and the fight will be close, one that could go either way. But Texas judges will give the decision to Pacquiao.

    Clottey is an honest and humble guy. It seems like he is realistic about the challenge ahead of him instead of trying to fool himself like the past few opponents of Pac. Oscar, Hatton, and Cotto all think they would go in there to bully Pac, and when that didn't work out as planned, they don't have a second plan to back into. Clottey knows it isn't going to be easy, so he would prepare for it twice as hard regardless of the outcome he won't mentally break down because it is something in his expectation but he won't quit and continue to give it his best regardless.

    I wouldn't mind if Clottey pulls out a win against Pac as long as they both put up a great fight. Clottey is a good guy, but probably a bit short on his talents and abilities although not on heart.

    Clottey is a devout Muslim so I would not be surprised that is referring to "God given talent."
