    I think he'd struggle to win a decision also.

    think of the style match ups in the fight. Cotto has a better style than Clottey for pac. had Cotto moved more he could have gave pac a greater fight. Clottey doesnt move at all. He goes high guard. He doesnt have a punch output. pac will look like ali in there turning clottey with the rigth hook roll over, mixing up his shots and winning rds easily.

    Clottey is going to be one of the toughest fights Pacquiao has ever had. No need to argue now, time will tell.

    Because it's his skull that is bug not massive cheek muscle growth like Pac and Mosley.

    Agreed, but I don't think Pacquiao stops him to be honest.

    I see this one going the distance.

    Pacquiao by decision.

    Agree completely......He just isn't active enough, and even if the turtle shell reduces the damage, he still won't throw enough to win on points.

    heads :think :lol:
    Any ways, The TS makes a good point on styles, but I still think Clottey will be a tough fight for Pacquiao even if he does seem to have a slim chance to win. The truth is right now apart from a few great fighters most people don't stand a chance against Pac. Clottey is a very good fighter and most definitely not a stay busy fight for anyone, it's a real fight. I think we are forgetting here that Joshua will block a lot of Pac's punches and will probably land on him more than Cotto did in spurts. Clottey's style may not be perfect to beat someone like Pacquiao, but it sure is frustrating for anyone who faces him, and thatis including the Pac-Man.

    My prediction still holds. Either late TKO or wide UD
