Clottey is definitely a high risk, (relatively) low reward fight. Despite having lost to Cotto, i think he'll be a much more difficult fight for Pac than Cotto was. First of all, Clottey is immensely strong, physically. Cotto doesn't impose himself as much as Joshua does. I give Cotto full credit for digging deep and getting the win, even though it was very close. But i thought Clottey looked stronger throughout. Clottey also looked great against Judah, whom he could just walk down. Judah isn't the strongest welter, but he is a natural welterweight, unlike Pac. Add to that that Clottey has a very solid chin and excellent defence, and i think Pac may be in a lot of trouble. Still pissed about Mayweater-Pac being off though. I still can't believe it... atsch
Yeah you may be right, Clottey is not the most powerful hitter, but he's a strong man. I do favor Pac, but i think it might be his hardest fight since Marquez..
yes and freddy roach sees it as a tough fight for pac. he also wants the winner of berto-mosley if pac gets past josh. source is the scene.
the fight will go the distance pacmans speed being the difference in the fight. clottey got tired in the later rounds against cotto he cant do that against pac pac will unload! pacman by decision
agreed. Watching the Cotto Clottey fight now. Pac has too much accuracy and speed, i dont think it will last too many rounds.
I agree with you on one thing, unlike Cotto Clottey knows how to hold and clinch effectively....but in the end he's just too stationary, Pac is just gonna be in and out and he's gonna tear up his peakaboo defense. On top of that he doesn't punch in volume and he doesn't have knockout power. Pac is gonna dance on Clottey, I don't see how he'll be able to do anything with Pac's speed..... Pac TKO10
i just want an exciting fight! I couldn't care less if Pacman loses, and I am pacfan! Pac is not about protecting his zero anyway so I don't think he will begrudge me for my comment Actually, I would want pac to win. I hope he does
