    Bit overconfident if you ask me. Clottey is as tough as they come he just lacks that intensity and workrate. I hope Clottey fancies the job and the fight is competitive.

    Manny can't stop him IMO he wins a decision

    Seriously? How much do you think Arum makes in this fight then? I'm curious.

    That sometimes suprises me, shouldn't you be saying he's good to build it up. I guess he figures it's more importatn to show the opponent they are not scared and intimidate him.

    On a somewhat related note, wouldn't it be funny if a fighter for once said that training camp is going real bad, and he doesn't really feel ready etc. you get the shtick

    When was the last time Clottey scored a knockdown?

    Clottey also has 1 KO in his last 11 fights.

    Clottey is not going to hurt/KO Pacquiao, sorry. No chance.

    He's being guarenteed $10 mill. Considering Clottey is getting a single digit percentage cut, Pacquiao stands to make a ton of money with this fight. If the fight does somewhere around 1 mill buys, Pacquiao is going to make around $20 mill.

    I believe Pacquiao punches harder than Margarito. If Margarito's gloves are not loaded then Pacquiao DEFINITELY punches harder. Margarito's tactic was basically to wear a person down over time using loaded gloves. He was not a sharp puncher whatsoever. If Pacquiao is able to effectively punch through Clottey's guard, I wouldn't doubt he gets a stoppage.

    why fight him if he's not very good? This is the same **** as with hatton where roach is already discrediting pac's opponent before the bell has rung. If his couch doesnt think clottey is very good how can we possibly give him credit when he no doubt comes out victorious? Stupid move on Roach's part.

    This kind of thinking will get Manny's ass kicked if hes not careful. I hope Roach isnt telling Manny this crap. Clottey has a good jab and hes strong. It could create some problems for Manny.

    He will say the same **** after any fight for Pac Is SIGNED!! I really want to see how Pacs legs look in this fight, he had trouble with one of his knees after the Hatton fight, leading to Cotto. So, I'm really interested to see if he regains full mobility...

    Roach insisted that Bhop was done after the Calzaghe fight. Its just wishful thinking. Wonder if he would say the same if they had random blood testing:huh
