Comments Thread For: Joshua Clottey: "I Won't Run, I Will Attack Manny Pacquiao"

[lefthook2daliva]

Does Clottley mean he will literally go right at Pacquiao.....like with his head?

Lol, Clottey's got a forehead like a truck bumper.

Clottey can beat Pacquiao by not engaging him but
waiting for Pac to come in, set up and pick him apart.
If a fighter doesn't go after Pacquiao then Manny is
confused on how to work his way in. I saw it in the
Marquez fight. Boxers can expose Pac but brawlers
get done off because Manny is too fast and punches
non stop. Clottey is going to have to set up traps
for Manny to get caught in and apply pressure when
Manny is off his game.

Man, you still refering to the MARQUEZ fight...unlike most fighters, PACQUIAO has gotten better since the last fight with MARQUEZ...CLOTTEY is no cake walk, but the guy does not throw enough punches to put the pressure on another fighter. I do believe that he will pressure PACQUIAO, till he gets hit with one or two solid hooks from PAC, then CLOTTEY goes back to his old self again....Doesn't matter if PACQUIAO knocks him out anyways, cause all you haters will just accuse the man of being on roids, even though he has never failed any of the same test that all boxers take. GUARANTEED, if PACQUIAO and MARQUEZ happens again...he can counter punch all he wants, PACQUIAO will destroy MARQUEZ...I doubt that MARQUEZ hits harder than COTTO...and we know what MARQUEZ brings to the table above 140lbs...no power, plenty of piss juice....

I can't wait because Manny is sooooo overrated that it's getting ridiculous now. Clottey will attack Manny and he won't go down like Dela hoya(who just stood there and rarely threw a punch),

WTF? He threw over 400 punches across 8 rounds. Had it gone another 4 rounds Oscar would have thrown 600+ for the whole fight. "Rarely threw a punch"? No, rarely landed a punch. There is a difference. 600+ punches thrown is an average amount. The problem he had was Pacquiao made him miss and he couldn't deal with Manny's speed or southpaw stance.

So, your comment above is bollocks. especially considering your user name.

Hatton(who just threw caution to the wind and gave his chin up for the taking),

And who's fault is that? Pacquiao's? The tone of your post seems like your criticizing Pacquiao for his opponents' mistakes and lackluster performances.

and Cotto(who decided that boxing wasn't good enough so he decided to mix it up).

Pacquiao outboxed Cotto, beating him to the punch consistently, because Cotto isn't fast enough. Cotto's boxing actually wasn't good enough, so yeah, why not try plan B or even C. That's normal. If a fighter fights one way for a while and it isn't working, isn't the best thing to do change the plan? Bottom line with this though -- it doesn't really matter what Cotto did or didn't do, he would have been beaten anyway.

Clottey will jab and throw that lead right and keep a tight defense then he will go to the body and throw his uppercut. Manny will hit the floor in this fight because Clottey will catch him jumping in. Manny's always off balance when he throws his punches because he never sets his feet. That could be a positive and a negative. In the Marquez fight it was a negative but in the Cotto fight it worked for him. A counterpuncher will time him and he will get knocked down. It won't matter if he is hurt or not. That's a 10-8 round when it goes to the scorecard.

Whatever man, you got a vivid imagination, I'll give you that. You clearly don't know much about Pacquiao's fighting style. He isn't off-balance. He is anything but off-balance.

Clottey will most likely be beaten to the punch and outworked.

Challenger Joshua Clottey said he plans to charge and attack early when he takes on 'Fighter of the Decade' Manny Pacquiao at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on March 13. [Click Here To Read More]

wrong move clottey

[The Truth 34]

Pacman is going down March 13

clottey can win this fight because when i watch Pac he takes advantage of Orthodox fighters who fight from there left side which is a big advantage for the southpaw Orthodox fighters like Hatton Oscar and Cotto had problems with pac because fighting from the orthodox stance throwing left hooks against southpaws don't work that was their money punch also southpaw fighters give orthodox fighters problems because their punches come from unexpected angles side to side in and out the way clottey will beat this by doing what Erik Morales and Marquez did Orthodox fighters who lead with right hands not left hooks some jabs and rights hands will win the fight for Clottey.

Listen man, all I'm doing is giving my analytical opinion.
Pacquiao has improved but he still has problems with Boxers.
Cotto showed this when he elected to box and not brawl.
The problem was that Cotto couldn't keep it up. Pacquiao
is a fast, aggressive and offensive fighter that is successful
off of his opponents aggression. I still see the same style
in Pacquiao but he has learn a few new tricks but the Marquez
Manny is still there. Why do I have to be a hater to give an
opinion about boxing on a site that is all about boxing? Just
because I didn't big Manny up? Clottey has a defensive,
counter punching style to nullify Pac but he has to let them
hands go because if he doesn't then Pac will out hustle him
in the ring for the win.

Grustler! you finally went to crack rehab? because this is the most positive post you have ever posted.

[TBear]

I expect Manny to be too fast for Clottey, but this is the most interesting fight scheduled right now.
