    Its funny how your ranking works, Cotto beats Clottey and Mosley but loses to Pac, Mosley beats Margo and he gets ahead of Cotto. Cotto has fought 3 ooponents from that list. But PBF has fought nobody from that list and gets the #1 spot.

    I thought that was hilarious too. Like a big ol' "I Love Mayweather" post without saying it.

    Clottey is a tough guy and will give Pacquaio a good fight. He is tough, solid defense, and extremely durable. Throw in him being 2 divisions bigger than Pacquaio on fight night and he is going to give Pacquaio trouble. H

    Actually, they liked Floyd because he looks impressive in fighting smaller men. They extrapolate that and think that he can do the same thing with bigger men.

    To be honest, yes. In my personal opinion I think he wins in boring UD with most of the elite WW with except of Pac and Shane. Those 2 are a toss up for PBF because of their power and speed.

    BTW - I am not a PBF fan. I am a Pac and Shane fan.

    I actually feel Clottey has a very good chance of beating Pacquaio, and might it be called an upset by some, but not by me. I won't be surprised.

    Clottey is a hard man, a legit contender in WW. A durable, defensive-minded boxer who can jab well. Certainly not a KO-type of puncher but his hands are fast and heavy. His fight with Cotto showed us two things: his style, durability and immense size could present problems for Pacquaio, but he lacks that killer instinct though and that is the only reason I see on why he would not be able to beat Pacquiao.

    Clottey is a goddamm fighter dude.

    To Floydettes, just because he lost to Cotto doesn't mean he is a damage goods or a bum. You should watch boxing more if that is what you are thinking.

    To *******s, please guys don't even think that this is an easy win for Pacquiao, just because he lost to Cotto doesn't mean he is an easy target. You should watch boxing more if that is what you are thinking.

    To sum it up, Clottey is still a dangerous opponent for Pacquiao and he better need to improve his defense if he doesn't want to get caught by Clottey's punches. So STFu.
