Will Clottey fair better than Pac’s recent victims?

I can't see how he is going to stop Clottey. The man walks into the ring at 160+, Pacquiao has never weighed that much in his entire life. Cotto is not a massive WW and we don't know how shot he may have been after he was beaten up by Margacheato and struggled with Clottey (which I thought Clottey won btw). I think Pac wins a fairly wide UD, Clottey I don't think does enough to beat Pac.

 

I think Clottey will fare alot better than Pac's last 4 opponents. Could even pull off the upset if he can really hurt Pacquiao early.

 

I think whatever tools Clottey has to defeat Pacquiao are negated by his inability to box to the correct plan. He will defend well against Pac but thats just about all he will do. Dont get me wrong, he's got all the physical traits one would need to do extremely well in boxing, but I think hes significantly lacking in boxing intelligence. He'll take pac the distance, but he'll be little more than a punchbag.

 

Yes, he'll fare a lot better.

First off, he's a defensive minded fighter. He doesn't just lunge in like Hatton or Cotto. And second, he's got a granite chin. Third, he's huge. Fourth, he's a good counter puncher. Fifth, he's got respectable hand speed, especially when he throws combinations.

You look at Clottey's history against elite WWs and he's always held his own.

 

Clottey is a sitting duck for Pac, he doesn't have the defensive prowess to beat him that way and his workrate is far too low to cause Pac any problems....not too mention he doesn't have a one punch KO power. KO for Pac

 

Freddie says Pac is gonna KHO. Yeah, right.

 

clottey is going to have to let his hands go on the inside! he is too flat footed to box from the outside! i think he will catch pac! remember people pac has been beat!

 

It's very important also to note that Pac had very little time to recover from his last fight and camp.

 

no catch weight, manny will feel how judah felt in that fight.most of manny shots wil get blocked and the ones that land want hurt clottey.you know how he smiles and shakes his head you cant hurt me.clottey just needs to be careful and not get with one of those cliping punches that manny hits people with that putss them on there ass.

 

I think that Clottey's defense and physicality will give him a decent chance to pull off an upset but I still have Pacquiao winning by a UD. Of course I thought that Cotto's power would trouble Pacquiao but I was wrong...

 

im not saying clotteys gonna win but he's gonna make pac fight like never before, he's gonna rough him up and make him lose his cool, clotteys gonna give him all he can handle.

 

Yeah I do give Clottey a fair chance but like I said before...I thought Cotto was gonna rough him up...

 

The only fighters that will give Manny problems, are guys with speed. As big and strong Clottey is, he just isn't mobile enough to take the fight to Pacman.
I reckon he'll be a sitting duck, and lose the fight due to the volume of punches
he's gonna get caught with, it will be like target practice. Even with a guy, with a shell like defense...

 

He'll do certain things better but I'm thinking overall he still loses a wide UD. He'll certainly do much better than Hatton.
