    who does everyone think wins???:think

    I really dont think clottey can hurt pacquiao, he's a LOT slower and too stationary to beat him IMHO.

    pacquiao wins wide on points.

    I think its true that the only thing that can go wrong for pac in this fight is if he gets too complacent (which I doubt will happen). I also don't see pac stopping clottey so im going to jump on the "pac by wide ud" bandwagon.

    The only chance clottey has is if he boxes the perfect fight. It's not as though he's without the physical tools to do the job, but he's proven (more recently in his fight with Cotto) that he just doesnt have the gameplan. I think for someone to beat pac, they have to at least throw a very frequent jab to disrupt his offensive rhythm. Not claiming to be a boxing mastermind here, but if Clottey were to weign in at 160lb come fight night, he'd be putting a fair bit of force behind that jab, but I can't help but feel Clottey will come in and just form a defensive shell all night. Hence the "pac by wide ud" prediction.

    Clottey will smash that fool.


    And everyone will be wondering why Bob Arum has suddenly disappeared.


    A full-blown, full-strength Clottey is going to be at literally twice the strength Cotto was. And he is much, much more durable than Cotto. If anyone is getting KO'd it's Pac. I seriously see him darting in and getting timed by Clottey with a nice, vicious uppercut combo. Clottey will have his moments, and I don;t think he will be too scared to step into his punches and take advantage of them.

    I think Clottey should try and take a page out of Nate Campbell's book, when he fought Juan Diaz. He should look to rough Pac up on the inside as much as possible and try and break him down and make it an ugly fight. Probably easier said than done tho.
