I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Pacquiao victorious. Clottey has shown me that he can't step on the gas, even when he's trying. He'll never be capable of doing more than exploding out of the occasional burst, and he doesn't have any equalizer. Manny could take this.
Are you kidding? Clottey has never been down, never been hurt by his own admission and never been stunned. This is a guy who took 1,600 punches from Marg, probably with loaded gloves and was never hurt. Pac simply can't hurt Clottey. And Clottey is fast where he can hit Pac. Clottey will walk Pac down from start to finish and when Pac realizes that his punches aren't doing anything, he'll be demoralized and Clottey will eventually get to him. There will probably be a 12-15lb size difference come fight night.
Clottey by murder. People seem to forget what Clottey did to a hard hitting lightweight in Corralles. Manny doesn't have enough power to hurt clottey, plain and simple.
manny pacquiao would not lose one single round in this fight. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to be taken to the vet and put down. Now. joshua clottey is a basic, one-dimensional plodder. He does not belong in the same ring as a pacquiao or a mayweather. He is light years behind that standard of fighter. shane mosley will knock clottey out early if they fight later this year, pacquiao would either shut him out for a ud or stop him late, and mayweather would win every second of every round en route to a whitewash ud. joshua clottey has become the most overrated fighter on esb because he managed to be outboxed by a cyclops. wake the **** up!
He has been down against Cotto in the first round, a balance shot but he has hit the canvas. Has Clottey fought anyone that focused on his body and mostly there?, the answer is no. Clottey lacks stamina to compete with someone like Pacquiao, the man is a 4 round fighter at best and he fades from there with a few shiny moments here and there. Being outboxed by Pac is most likely and a late TKO after too many body punches isn't impossible though a UD is the safest bet.
No head movement , no counter punching , no lateral movement and very slow hands makes this a 1 sided show in favour of Pac . The size advantage cannot be overlooked , but Clottey finding a home for any sort of attack on Pacquiao is un beleivably unlikeley . Quick question for the Clottey voters on this one , did you see Cotto Clottey if so how in the hell can you fancy him to beat Pacquiao .
That is the most stupid example ive seen on ESB , Edwin Valero is a hard hitting LW , what would Clottey do an over the hill balooned up Valero ?????? atschatschatsch
That's the most ridiculous post I have ever seen. Corrales was a blown up lightweight fighting Clottey at a catchweight of 149/150 being BEYOND shot and coming off two physically and mentally damaging losses to Casamayor and Castillo. Corrales also failed to make weight going in against Casamayor and still lost that fight. Clottey had Corrales out of it since round 7 and couldn't finish him, Corrales was literally ready to be taken out.
Oh dear !!!!!!!! atschatsch Clottey was dropped round 1 by a jab by Cotto and was practically out on his feet and took up and around 30 un answered shots in the 6th !!!!!! Pac destroys Clottey its that simpe ...
The point was if Corrales couldn't hurt Clotty, here is no way Manny can. Also, Manny can't box, the only thing he would do is try to box and end up trading with Clottey, and rest assured Clottey would block all of his flurries and counter flurry his ass, except he would land and hurt Manny, because Manny is so small.
David the man , after that comment im never gonna pay attention to another post you leave , id suggest studying another sport buddy or taking a degree in talking shite one or the other !!!!!!!!
Manny hits far harder than Corrales ever did, considering Manny is at 140-147lbs now and sparked the number 1 lww in his last fight. Manny can't box?!?! That's the WORST comment I've ever read in a year on this forum. Clottey would "counter-flurry"?! Are you on acid?????? Conclusion: The mods should change your username to 'David_The****wit'.
