Pacquiao will destroy Clottey

Mississippi Fight Sports Examiner | Brad Cooney

Same old song and dance? Bigger and stronger against smaller and faster. This combination hasn't proved very successful for Pacquiao's previous opponents. It's been the smaller and faster Manny Pacquiao that has gotten the job done. When you get into the ring against Pacquiao and you are bigger than he is, chances are that you're going to get beat up, thoroughly.

This does not bode well for the big welterweight from Ghana, Africa. Clottey is big and strong, and he has a good chin. Do you know what it means when you have a good chin when you fight Manny Pacquiao? It means you take a beating for a little bit longer than someone with a not so good chin.

Recently I spoke with the legendary Roy Jones Jr, and got his thoughts on Pacquiao vs. Clottey. Jones likes the Pacman in this fight, "I think Pacman outworks Clottey. He's quicker, he's more agile, so I think he outworks Clottey." Roy is usually pretty accurate with his predictions, so we will see how he does with this one.

Next up I spoke with the Assistant Director of the Mississippi Athletic Commission, Patrick Turner. He weighed in with his thoughts on this fight, " I feel like Pacquiao will win this fight, but I would not be surprised if Clottey pulls off the upset of the year. Clottey has fought some extremely talented fighters, and has done well against them. He should not be taken lightly." Turner also points out what makes Pacquiao so dangerous, " Pacquiao always presents problems for his opponents just because of his aggressiveness, and speed."

If history is any indication of what the future may hold, Pacquiao will dominate Clottey with speed, angles, and ultimately he should get him out of there. Clottey is strong enough to get into the deeper rounds, and his chin should carry him for awhile, but at the end of the day Pacquiao's arms will be raised.
