    I gotta say, Pacman been on fire in his last three fights, take oscar out of there, and his last 2 wins are as legit as they get. Hatton and Cotto test you in more ways then one, neither could take the pounding from Manny. Ricky got it the worst.

    Now clottey, known for his toughness and desire to mix it up. would he be able to hold manny's punches, or will manny's speed overwhelm him and send him to the floor?

    what do you guys predict?

    I would be surprised if Pacquiao knocked out Clottey. Clottey is a tough SOB with a nice high guard, and a strong chin. It will take quite a bit for Pacquiao to KO Clottey.

    that's what im thinking too, i think the only time clottey ever visited a canvas was againt cotto. and it was a flash, and clottey came back strong too.

    I think Pacquiao will win a UD. Maybe knock down Clottey some time but not TKO.

    Pacman has a great chance to take out Clottey. Its never happened before,but he never fought a guy who brings it every single time he steps up.

    Fred Roach can see a tko happening; so can I....but at the same time im leaning towards a UD for the pacman.

    I should tell you that im not only using sound reasoning when i calculate who the winner will be.....im using inside information that tells me all i need to know NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!!!!

    I done bin told there be da A-side meff involved.

    Pacquiao has better power than Clottey.

    So does Oscar...and Cotto..and just about every welterweight out there.

    cockroach picked Clottey for a reeason,he thinks he's beatable.If it's not a sure thing,a weight draind Oscar or a shellshocked Hatton or Cotto at a catchweight,they do'nt want it.May get fooled this time by a motivated,true welter weight.May be sorry they ran from Floyd.Four and a half years for a rematch for marquez?No third fight after a lucky decision?Hope pac and freddy get thier asses handed to them.War Clottey!!!

    I just hope Clottey learned the lesson & roided himself up since the rules allow it 4 this one... a roided Clottey would be a real monster.... pacquiao and his steroids can only go for so far...

    I can definitely see the argument for Clottey making it, but I'm confident he won't see the final bell. He's a mental midget compared to the collossuss that Pacquiao is and as recently as the Cotto fight, in a real winnable situation he crumbled. When Pac opens up a lead on the scorecards that gapes like Jacory Harris' vagina Clottey will just quit on the fight and force a mercy stoppage a la Cotto.

    Clottey seems to be the only top level welterweight who hasn't managed to realize that mistaking Pacquiao for a 'small' welterweight and identifying your 'superior strength' is exactly how you get destroyed by him. Brother Nazim pointed out that saying Pac is a small WW is like saying Tyson was a small HW. The Mayweather's know it too. Clottey is still banging on about his being so much stronger and bigger and Pac won't know what to do when he is bullied by a naturally bigger guy. DLH, Hatton and Cotto all thought the same thing and that's why they were upset.

    Same story rolls on here, if you ask me. Pac will feast on a stationary high guard that doesn't counter, but rather waits for you to finish attacking.

    wow the poll is 50/50 who ever the winner is, im sure it will happen via a decision. i just dont see pacman taking him out, hurting him probably, but not putting him for the count.

    clottey will stay in his shell all night and block his way to losing a wide decision.
