    Lets be honest, even though the fight is proposed to be at 147, Pacquiao is basically moving up in weight again to fight Clottey who has weighed in on fight night at 170lbs.

    Can Manny take Clottey's shots like he did Cotto's?

    Can Clottey take Pac's shots (He was knocked down by a Cotto jab)?

    Thoughts?

    Clottey is built like a rock. I don't think he can knock him out, but I am in for Pac man for a UD. Clottey isn't active enough and Pac is like a squirrel on speed. I think he sees the world in slow-motion

    I don't think pac could hurt him with five clean shots with his guard down. Clottey is a monster but he doesn't throw enough.

    Clottey is iron-chinned, but I don't see him having much of a chance.

    are you guys crazy? iron chinned Clottey? Cotto had him on ***** street with a jab. This is another fighter that's taylor made for Pacquaio. Pac will dominate and KO Clottey easier than he did Cotto.

    YES CLOTTEY is going to get rocked!! maybe TKO'ed. It should be a big shock to the pachaters once again.They'll be asking to have his DNA checked for UFO blood. LOL

    "He cannot tek meh poonches. I see da pain in ees fess."

    This will be a UD or SD robbery. If he does KO Josh Clottey?

    Blame it on the gym...
    Blame it on the pads...
    Blame it on the rope...
    Blame it on the bags...

    Blame it on the P, P, P, P, PEDs
    Blame it on the P, P, P, P, PEDs!

    :rofl

    Clottey is not a heavy puncher

    And Clottey was knocked down from Cotto's jab because he was off balance..

    Chins won't come into play, work rate will be the deciding factor.

    Pacquiao UD

    Clottey was never rocked against Cotto. Watch the knockdown he wasn't hurt at all. He was pissed he was knocked down because he knew it cost him a point. Watch the fight before you post stupid comments.

    What makes clottey good? really what? Here is his record, point out 1 notable win. If you do that, try your hardest to find another one. He has lost every "test" he has faced. NO big wins, give me a break, this fight is a sham.

    No, he caught him off balance with a decent shot. Clottey got up instantly and showed little/ no signs of being hurt.

    Clottey has a good chin and i think might be too big or solid for pacs punches to do major damage. I really wish Clottey battered Pac, but with his workrate i dont see it happening.

    Pac by UD.

    Oh yeah this fight most certaintly is a sham, but Clottey is a capable fighter. Very strong and pretty tight defensively.....but the whole peakaboo defense was built for Pacquiao's style. If he can do anything to disrupt Pacquiao's speed I'll be pleasantly surprised. He doesn't punch in volume, doesn't have big KO power, and he fades late. Pac RTD10

    I would say so too if Pac wasn't a good 3-4 inches shorter than him
