:good

 

Honestly, I think probably all of them.

Clottey lacks something mentally. He seems to do just enough to lose. People say he deserved to win against Cotto, and that may be true, but he COULD have left no question and gone out with a win if he hadn't decided to try and coast through the championship rounds. It was his fight to lose and he chose to lose it.

Same with Margarito. Yes, he suffered a hand injury, but many fighters do, and they fight through it. Hell, Floyd Mayweather, who is apparently the biggest ***** in boxing, has fought with broken hands before, and won. He just completely shut down after the 4th round.

Every other guy on that list has proven that they are capable of winning when they have to. They have all fought through an incredibly tough round, or pulled themselves off of the canvas, and kept fighting with intensity. They are hungry, and determined, and will not stop fighting. And nothing I've seen from Clottey so far has shown me that he has that mentality. He's certainly tough physically, and has all of the tools, but he doesn't have the mentality. Pacquiao is a champion, he will fight all 12 rounds of the fight. Clottey probably won't, and I don't think Clottey can beat Pac only fighting 7 or 8 hard rounds.

 

Where's the "all of the above" option?

 

i think floyd and shane only. was thinking of bradley at 140 next but imo clottey at 147 is a tougher fight for pac just because 140 is more suited for pac than 147.

 

floyd & shane... that is all.

 

But that's so many choices to fill in.

You showed a heavy lack of consideration for us lazy people.

 

Mosley and Floyd.

 

Why will Clottey force Pac to think twice? Cotto is a bleeder. His face may have looked bad but if those punches actually packed serious damage, Cotto would have been on his ass. Clottey is built like a brick shithouse but his punches lack effect.

 

A vote for all of them, they all bring different skills that would test Manny. Not saying Clottey is not a tough fight, but I feel the others would bring a lot more skills than Clottey can. The only problem I see Manny having trouble at times would be Clottey's defense. He's not as aggressive as the other fighters and doesn't have the killing instincts. Speed he lacks and power is not bad, but it's something Manny could pretty well handle.
