    I dont think its on the Douglas-Tyson level since Douglas had basically no chance.

    Clottey i think stands a pretty decent chance. Hmmm this porbably isnt even on the Pac-MAB level either.

    I think its a 60-40 fight for Pac.

    On paper, not that big an upset. To the fans, huge upset...just because of how big Pac is right now.

    If Clottey wins, its b/c he uses the fivehead to open a huge gash on Pac when Pac attacks with those quick combos, it's ruled by a punch, and the gash forces a stoppage.

    I would compare it Mosley-Margarito Remember what they were saying back then?.."Mosely wont be able to hurt Margarito" "Mosleys gonna get destroyed" "Mosleys gonna get stopped for the first time in his career"

    And thats EXACTLY what everyone is saying about Clottey

    It wouldn't shock me one bit. I can't find a comparison but Clottey is a proven WW who has hung in there with the best WWs. I expect Pacman to win but Clottey is no pushover for ANY WW.

    For the record, let the Youngstown-Meth-Heads tell it, and Pav-Hop wasn't an upset, because Pav was so noble for moving up 17 weightclasses to fight a prime 33 year-old executioner...:good

    Eh... To what should be a "real" boxing fan, somebody who knows Clottey could very well win this fight, it should come as little surpise if he does. I'd compare this to any slight upset.

    I agree 100%.


    I don't know how this fight all of a sudden ended up in the Tyson-Buster Douglas category...

    No. It's hardly even an upset if he wins. Clottey is an excellent fighter, and much bigger.
