    Clottey has basically no shot at winning this fight. Pacquiao is more talented than Clottey and Clottey is pretty much tailor made for Pacquiao. Not only that, but the deck is completely stacked against him. Just read this article to get a sense of what I'm talking about.

    http://insider.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/insider/news/story?id=4955972

    Clottey is training in some broke down gym that doesn't even have a working shower. His trainer is stuck in Ghana and he has a short staffed corner who will have to try to make due with a shortened training camp. To make matters worse, his subpar sparring partner quit and his childhood friend who has sparred with Clottey for years and knows all his tendencies is now working for Pacquiao. Clottey found out he might be fighting Pacquiao from the internet and thought it was a joke. Clottey and his team know that they are being setup for failure. Clottey is going to get a nice payday, and it seems as though he's just happy to be a part of this fight. Pacquiao should win this fight with relative ease.

    I agree with Reg. Pacquiao will overcome his pathological terror of the colour black to triumph.

    its not over until its over , clottey may gain some extra motivation from the problems that have hit his training camp

    Rubbish.


    Clottey is setting the whole world up for the double-reverse flea-flicker...


    When Pac is stretched out looking up at Arum about to jump from Jerry Jones' skybox, it will all be too late.

    I doubt you really even believe this. If you do, don't put any money on Clottey.

    As I've been saying, Pacquiao should win this fight handily and it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see him stop Clottey. Everything is against Clottey and his passive defense and complete lack of any sort of volume with his punches means he's going to be against the odds to win this one, big time.

    Pac ain't stopping Clottley but he will win this fight with 8-4 or 10-2.

    Only Mosley and Mayweather would beat pac.

    It will be a close fight where either guy can win. Clottey is a bit underrated just because he is not popular.

    There was a time when I thought Josh would murder Pac if they ever fought. But now the situation is completely reversed. I guess that's how good of a fighter Pac is. I'm hoping for a hail mary type of upset though
