    Predictions? I have a few...
    1/ Pacroid juices up
    2/ Pac insists on a rehydration clause and also Clottey weighing in under the flyweight limit.
    3/ Pacroid insists the only drug testing performed is three months before fight night, and only on saliva.
    4/ Pacroid will reward Arum and Roach for their efforts in enabling him to "even the playing field" by allowing them to put him on a spit roast and pump him full of semen.

    This is a very very good fight. Clottey is tough, we saw what he did to Cotto. He's a good Welterweight and will give Pac more than a tough fight.

    Not a Pacquiao fan but this is an easy fight for Manny. Clottey's style is tailor made for Pacquiao to beat. A stationary opponent who can't counter punch, who isn't the hardest puncher in the world, who only hold his hands high. He's tough but Margarito was tough too, and we seen what happened to him for example. I don't know why this fight is even acceptable in people's eyes....

    Two huge factors to consider: Clottey lacks power and has a low work rate.

    Ding! Clottey's only chance at winning is by KO, and he's not enough of a power puncher or finisher to score a KO, particularly as Pac will be moving in and out for 12 rounds and Clottey doesn't have enough footspeed to catch him. Pac will win a comfortable points decision based largely on his workrate and Clottey's inactivity. More or less the same fight we've seen Clottey lose twice before.

    the bigger question is who will gross better - Pac-Clottey or mayweather-somebody

    Depends on who the somebody is, and which fight HBO chooses to show.

    Clottey walks straight forward with his hands high. Have you ever seen him do anything that leads you to believe that he has the attributes necessary to pin Pac down and actually utilize his size advantage?
