We all know that PAC has been accused of not fighting black fighters, and I don't believe PAC is afraid to fight anyone, its more of his handlers doing, but why CLottey? Why not Yuri Foreman for the more history, seeing as how he's supposed to get into politics and get out of the fight game. Floyd is apparently black, and by having that fight fall through he could be further criticized. Clottey is good, but I see him as a token and he's a beatable opponent for PAC. I must say its a clever move.
He can either fight at 140 or 147. There are nice selections at 140. There is only one selection at 147 - Clottey. The other 2 BETTER choices - Berto and Mosley - is fighting each other. So no go with those. There is PBF but let us not rehash that story line. So the question is really 140 or 147 for Pac's next fight? He chose 147. 154 is really not a choice. Even Pac did not want it. He is already a small welter. Only Arum spread that idea, probably to sell the whole '8th belt record' crap.
clottey is another top rank guinea pig just like cotto...i feel sorry for top rank fighters...the money is obviously in pacs favor and these guys have to suck arums nuts to get a good payday(hence why fmj left), so what happens they have to fight cheaters to secure a nice financial payday, sort of like don king was doing when he was robbing his fighters blind of money
Why Clottey?? Ever heard of a guy called BOB ARUM? Ever heard of a promotional outfit called TOP RANK? atsch
Lets not go there again and Clottey is no Mayweather if thats what you are getting at. Kinda like how DLH was going to show the fans how he'd handle Floyd in a rematch by fighting Stevie Forbes.
Clottey is a good fighter and will have a considerable weight advantage coming in on fight night. Im predicting a Pac win, but it will not be an easy one.
I believe that i was the first one to state some time ago that pacman will only have top rank fighters to fight against and that arum will keep the money in house.
