I wonder if it'll be as good fight, thinking about ordering it.

illmatick · 03-07-10, 02:41 PM

clottey is a defensive specialist, if the fight is exciting it wont be because of him

Team Ramrod · 03-07-10, 02:43 PM

manny will win hands down. to much for ml though.

shady610 · 03-07-10, 04:26 PM

i gonna bet clottey just as a boxing gods punishment for ducking floyd. YES DUCKING FLOYD.

playa420 · 03-08-10, 03:57 PM

Paquiaos gonna win this fight easy. Im not sure what the point of this fight is though, pac just beat up Cotto, and now hes facing a guy that lost just lost to Cotto. Its a ton a juice but hes pretty much a lock.

spankadank · 03-08-10, 04:23 PM

manny wins by decision.

Fiasco01 · 03-08-10, 05:27 PM

Yeah I was willing to bet it at -500 but at -600 its a little too much. And yes I realize either bet is valueless, I still thought at -500 itd be worth betting.

why are people discussing pillow fighting? oh yeah, some people still call it boxing....

what a gay sport, two guys stand around and hug each other for 12 rounds because they can't knock each other out...talk about unwatchable...

People die from boxing. No one will die from mma. In boxing you have to get back up and keep fighting.

Does anyone have any actual analysis on this fight. I dont follow boxing close enough to offer any insight.

I'm on Clottey. This guy got robbed in the Cotto fight. He beat the shit out of Cotto and could have easily knocked him out but took it easy in the championship rounds. Pacman barely knocked out Cotto who wasn't in as good a shape as when he fought Clottey.

Clottey is bigger and a great counter puncher. He can defend Pacman's crazy, erratic style. I think he will come in around 160 which will be a huge advantage. This guy can hit like an ox. I also think he can keep Manny off guard with a solid jab.

One other thing to think about is all the talk about Manny not wanting to be tested. You better believe he's going to be tested thoroughly in this one and he may be over cautious in what he takes. A part of me thinks Manny might have been on something in the past and this may very well be the first fight he's fighting legit. I think he's not going to have the snap, power and it remains to be seen if his stamina takes a hit. If so, he could be running into a buzz saw. Clottey is much, much bigger than Manny. Remember this.

Look back to the Cotto/Margarito fight. The public was all over Cotto. My buddy was at the weigh in and he called me and told me to hammer Margarito because he was huge as hell. Check the weigh in. If Clottey comes in big, then imagine him when he's rehydrated. This has upset written all over it.

flyingillini · 03-09-10, 12:55 AM

I am on Clottey, he has a good chance here.

Muddy · 03-09-10, 12:58 AM

Pac by KO in the 6th

THE PROFIT · 03-09-10, 12:58 AM

Big african vs small filipino. If only it was that easy!

JC2008 · 03-09-10, 01:18 AM

Pac wins a unanimous decision. Clottey HAS to knock him out. There is NO WAY he can with a decision. The powers-that-be do not want to lose this Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. Too much money to be made.

Mac4Lyfe · 03-09-10, 12:57 PM

I agree, Clottey has to knock Pac out else he'll get robbed again. I think he can as both fighter's will try and KO the other. Manny could lose to Clottey and get a rematch which would be even more money, then fight Mayweather next year. It all leads up to big money. A guy who constantly creams the competition isn't as valued as one who comes off a defeat or near defeat. You can really make your money in a rematch.

pac man all day

This isn't handicapping related, but does anyone else feel the undercard here is a little weak. I mean, Soto vs. Diaz might be good for Friday Night Fights, but as the 2nd bill on a major PPV I'm not impressed. I think Duddy vs. Medina has some potential too, but this is a long way from last fall when Chris John vs. Rocky Juarez were the 2nd bill to Mayweather/Marquez and even the very bottom of the card featured Erislandy Lara.

Here's a link to the full lineup: http://boxrec.com/show_display.php?show_id=593960

Im going to be interested in seeing how Clottey handles pac's power punches, Cotto was actually boxing quite well, picking manny off with the jab nicely until boom, he got buzzed by a big shot and went down, he then boxed well until manny buzzed him again, if Clottey can handle those punches then this will be interesting, most likely a late pull out by the corner or a decision win for manny.

Im staying away from betting on it though, Clottey is a big guy and barely lost to Cotto, beat Zab Judah and put up a good effort against Margarito, I see this as a good matchup and there is a definate challenge here for Manny.

miss_gorgeous · 03-09-10, 01:19 PM

Pacquiao will win

1UP · 03-09-10, 01:58 PM

Pacquiao should win easily. Clottey robs himself time and time again by letting his opponents survive and start to steal rounds. There's no chance he beats a busy fighter like Manny.

I think he'll probably fair better than Cotto for a while, but towards the latter rounds, he will just be overwhelmed by the work rate. I'd guess this goes to the cards in a lopsided 9-3'ish score, but Manny's speed always leaves the door open for a TKO. Best bet is just taking Manny or passing altogether.

Sometimes i'd tell myself manny had to be on something cuz that fcker never get tired, not even a little bit. I hope clottey makes it a good fight. The under card sucks balls.

Pacquiao lost like 5 times... perfection is where it's at. *Mayweather* The name of the game is hit and don't be hit and damn, I admire him for it. I find most intelligent people respect ones ability to earn his money and do so for as long as possible, being excellent at their respective field of work. Mayweather is just that, excellence in the ring. If I just want straight brawls i'll watch Tyson re-runs or the undercards. I'll watch Andre Berto, Cotto, Mosley. When I want to watch the unbeatable and the best, I watch Mayweather.

Anyways, Pacquiao beats Clottey and in a big way. Clottey obviously is much bigger but Pacquiao has beaten the bigger man before. This should be no different. His speed and footwork will make Clottey kiss the canvas early. However, if Mayweather beats Mosley, we have a new #1 lb 4 lb in the public's eyes. Because as far as i'm concerned, Mayweather is still #1 after beating #2 while Pacquiao was beating up a worn down De La Hoya and Hatton. Oh yeah and Cotto is just a slower Pacquiao.

BTW, am I the only one that chants "Defense, defense, defense" when I watch Mayweather fight?

Ouch, resorting to personal insult because you cannot articulate your thoughts well enough to forumlate a formidable argument for your boy, Pacman?

Go make like your avatar

.

For the record, I respect Pacquiao greatly and I think it'd be an extremely close fight either way if he and Mayweather ever fought. Pacquiao has the fastest footwork and some of the best technique in the sport and I completely understand why he is a big fan favorite. As opposed to Mayweather being near hated by the public.

BTW, by resorting to insult you just reflect the unintelligent stereo type of some of the big Pacquiao fans on which I spoke upon earlier.
