Let's test Classic ... Predict Paq/Clottey

Could be. Who knows. But it's not as compelling an explanation as not to leave room for doubts IMO.

And compelling with the strictest standards in use would in no way be a futile battle to clear his name. If he did that and went on to beat Mayweather, no one would be able to raise any reasonable doubts as I see it.

 

i think they still would. people would still say "mosley beat the tests" or "jones beat the tests", at least temporarily the legends would still say that a-side meth is undetectable and mayweather would have an asterix next to his loss

 

Some would probably say that. Some say that the earth is flat and that earth was created in seven days some 6 000 years ago.

If Pac beat Mayweather under Olympic testing protocoll it would be hard to claim foul play and be taken seriously, though. As it is now, there are reasonable grounds to claim something is dodgy.

God knows I don't like PBF:s pre-match shenanigans and would have loved seeing him take a severe beating from Pac, and personally I didn't harbour any suspicions against Pac before - was only very happy there were fighters like him still around - but now I do to some degree.

 

fair enough:good

 

Maybe so but i like to look at it as not underestimating Clottey. Im Picking Pac by convincing but competetive decision, what is so absurd about that?

For as Wide as the Odds are i could even see dropping a 20 on Clottley at Possibly getting 150$ back.

 

Clottey would have needed to tap into a buried disposition to do that. As it turned out, Pacquiao angled the hell out of him, split his guard, and used hooks ....and Clottey opted out of taking risks altogether.

Too bad though, he should have tried. You could see his power when he did open up and Pacquiao looked awfully small in there. Nevertheless, I think that it would have been likely that Joshua would have been stopped had he come out of hiding.

 

I'm feeling good about this post.

At least Cotto won a round, and appeared to make the fight interesting. I really felt bad for Clottey last night.

 

If the Floyd/Mosley fights do not happen I think that Pac should go back down in weight, He looked too small in there and looked pretty busted up compared to how many punches he took, the same with the Cotto fight, Pacman won almost every round but got damaged by a couple of punches.

I think he should go down to JWW and fight Bradley etc.., I cannot see him going up again, well maybe against Yuri?, but no one else.
