Clottey has a good shot at the upset

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by janeschicken, Jan 8, 2010.


  1. Clottey isn't active enough, doesn't open up enough, and he'll be spending too much time with his high guard trying to block Manny's shots. If Clottey used that high guard in combination with footwork, torso movement, and countering, he'd be hard to beat. But, he doesn't do that. He stands right there, with his guard high, blocking punches. Basically, he could be a lot better.

    Clottey is a dangerous fighter. A fighter Void will never fight. Void would not fight Cotto, Mosely, Margarito and who knows who else.

    Clottey a better boxer then Cotto???? now ive heard it all.

    Hes a come forward plodder with shell defence, whos very strong and durable who will push a fighter but rarely has what it takes to push them over the edge and get the victory.

    I was coming in to write this exact thing. I'll add in that Manny is going to really go to work on the body in this one.

    I actually don't think the pac-pbf fight is dead yet, so I hope we don't find out how Manny v Clottey turns out.

    Manny is going to find that Clottey should have been left alone in peace.

    he could, he just inexplicably gave up the last 2 rounds. The win was there for the taking.

    In otherwords, if Clottey goes all out at 100% maximum, you could argue he's potentially better than Cotto.

    Slower than Cotto

    Less Talented boxer than Cotto

    Doesnt move his head as well as Cotto

    Hasnt fought to the same level as Cotto so Chin still needs testing

    Gets knocked down by a jab - cotto doesnt

    Output of 30 punches a round - cotto average above 147lbs output.

    Loses to Cotto in a fight where his best offence is with his head.

    Do you need anything else?

    As long as *******s to continue to twist the facts, lie, and manufacture excuses everytime they touch the keyboard, then yes I will continue to bring this **** up.

    Dont hold your breath.
