FINAL and OFFICIAL POLL: Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey

i know, that was your alt.

 

No.. I don't need an alt. I do very well on my own talking and taking ****.

 

then make a lot, poll is too one sided.

 

I'm picking Pac, but Clottey may give him some problems and be his toughest foe in the past couple of years. I don't think pac will blow him out like he's been doing with others lately.

 

>>implying that Zab Judah is like Manny Pacquiao.

 

Not really.


But Zab in the first 4 rounds is definitely closer than anyone else you can name. Obviously, Zab fades, so no one is gonna be stupid enough to imply he is completely the same.

 

your alt should answer that, not you.

 

lmao, his analysis is very good , and u can agree or disagree, but dont make yourself look like an idiot with respond like that.

I thought we were here to discuss boxing , not to show how much of cheerleader of one or another fighter we are.

 

cant remember saying its not.:think

 

I got Clottey on his way to a clear cut decision until about the 7th RD when he decides to cruise & take the usual punishment, At which point Pac breaks him down to earn a reff stoppage.

That or a headbutt early changes all dynamics.

 

I'm going for clottey,but i like both fighters,so may the best man win.

 

I'm no one's alt. If you follow my posts, you'll notice that.

I have my opinions and I might be wrong. If and when I am proved wrong, I'll come and admit it but for now my opinions hold true for me.

I guess we'll all see on March 13 how far away from reality our analysis and opinions are.

Thanks NBA for holding out for me. I usually will just ignore statements that don't relate to boxing or an affront to my fundamental beliefs. I don't want to get into unnecessary fights.

 

Not exactly, but I did mention 'when Judah was fresh' i.e. 1-4.

Judah is a southpaw that packs power in his left, he really quick with that hand, maybe not as much as Pac but he's not far behind. He is also quick on his feet and has very good reflexes, he's slick. He is often on the move, circling to setup angles and jabbing and looking for spots to throw a quick counter left uppercut or combinations. He's not exactly like Pac but he has attributes of stance, hand and foot speed as Pac. Pac is however his own unique self in positions he launches punches from.

Against Clottey, Judah slowed down from the 7th but that was also because he was taking a hell of a beating. He didn't stop trying to win the fight till the 9th.

All his activity was having little effect and Clottey was continuously landing clean hard shots on him. And that was from the very first round. By the end of the 2nd round he was bleeding from the nose. By the 4th from the mouth as well. He was being hit clean and hard to the body and head and that weakened him as well as his normal stamina issues. That said, Judah really trained hard for this fight and put in all his heart and determination.

I doubt Pac can be weakened as severely as Judah was but he'll slow down and be be more careful to avoid taking unnecessary punishment(getting hit clean and hard whiles landing on gloves and elbows).

 

Now that's a lopsided poll.

Sad so many are completely convinced the bigger man will lose on intangibles. There are still unanswered questions. Can Pacquiao withstand the abuse of a man this size for a full 36 minutes? Can Pacquiao break Clottey's guard? Will Clottey surprise us all and come/go out gats blazing?

 

I just can't see how Clottey would win except for as you mention "by accident".
