Mosley has 5 lost and not a Pay per view attraction.
Who Floyd fighting now.
Yup, but Floyd knows Mosley is being looked at as if he is a god of war just because he destroyed the limited Margarito. Mosley did show much better footwork then Cotto did against Margarito, but then again if Margarito was using his plaster of paris against Cotto then we can see why Cottos footwork was looking so sloppy against Marg... Meaning Marg was sapping Cottos strength away from him.... When does Margacheato make his comeback? I hope a bum pulls a upset off and beats Marg.
The fans wanted Pacquiao/Mayweather Jr now not later but now. We didn't get that, and Floyd and his fans only point fingers at Pacquiao accusing him of steroids use. We see what type of fans Mayweather has, trashy-no class jack asses... I should mind my words, I mean some of the mods on here are Mayweather Jr fans are actually are quite knowledgeable. I'm just mad the fight wasn't made.
The only thing I get out of this video besides being anoyed by JC's stupid rap, is that Manny is gonna have one hell of a hard time dealing with Clottey, neither Cotto or Margarito made the guy even flinch, I'm of the opinion that this time he may have bitten more than he can shew

Pac will beat Clottey by a wide decision but he won't stop him. That'll be the first time in
2 years that he doesn't stop his opponent I wonder how he will react.

How does Clottey deal with Pacquiaos speed? As far as I know, Clottey has never fought anyone with Pacquiaos speed or anyone who throws in as many awkward angles. I'm picking the lesser of the two opinions and say Pacquiao will be the first to stop Clottey. And I will not fault Clottey if he does get stopped since Pacquiao has become a monster. I mean Cotto had Clottey stuck in a corner, I can see Pacquiao doing much more then just getting Clottey stuck in a corner.
i don't know if clottey will be able to deal with
pacmans speed,but clottey is a strong fighter with
a great chin.here is a video of shane talking about
his fight with mayweather,so check it out.
Cotto and Hatton do not have bad chins, they were caught with great shots from a puncher. Sure Cotto and Hatton have been shaken up in the past and Hatton was KO'd by Mayweather Jr. But both still have pretty solid chins. I'm not saying that their chins are granite but they can take a punch pretty good.

Clottey has a tighter defense than anybody Pac has fought not to mention he'll be about 170lb on fight night.

It's not just a matter of chin Clottey has a great defense so Pac will hit a lot of gloves and the few punches that will break through the guard will not affect Clottey.

What's that Freddie? You mean Clottey is a bad fighter who has no business being in with Pacquiao? No ****.
Roach changes tune, now predicting knockout win for Pacquiao
Quote:
By Dave Lahr: You can almost guarantee one thing when World Boxing Association welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao fights. His trainer Freddie Roach will predict a knockout win sooner or later in the weeks/months leading up to the bout. It’s almost a given. Roach usually starts with a prediction that Pacquiao will win by a decision and then changes over shortly after with a knockout prediction. And then as the weeks go by, Roach moves his prediction to earlier and earlier rounds until arriving at a figure between the first and third rounds.
In an article from GMA News, Roach is in classic form with his predictions, saying “Manny will knock him [Joshua Clottey] out. I’ve been studying tapes of him [Clottey]. He’s not very good.” Well, Roach, why then is Pacquiao fighting Clottey? If he’s not very good, why is Pacquiao fighting Clottey rather than Shane Mosley, Paul Williams, Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Juan Manuel Marquez.
That’s what gets me. Roach sets up a fight for Pacquiao against a flawed fighter, and then proceeds to talk them down by predicting knockouts or pointing out their many faults. If Clottey is such as easy mark, which I’m in full agreement with incidentally, then why is Pacquiao being matched against Clottey? Is it because he is flawed? That makes sense, I guess. Although I sure would rather be seeing Pacquiao against a fighter without as many defects as Clottey, who I see as walking bag of flaws.
Pacquiao has already faced two flawed fighters in Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto in 2009. Isn’t it time that Pacquiao fight someone that is looking good and still fighting at their peak form? I don’t understand the match-making that is being done for Pacquiao. I think Cotto, Clottey and Hatton are good fighters, but I don’t for a second see them as being nearly as good as Mosley, Mayweather or Paul Williams. Why isn’t Pacquiao fighting those guys instead?
Roach says “I think if we break him [Clottey] down, we can get him out of there in the late rounds. He has a passive defense and leaves his body wide open for awhile when he puts his hands up like that. When he [Pacquiao] digs to the body and breaks him down, I think we can get him out of there.” You think?
Everyone was pretty much aware that Clottey has a passive defense and that he leaves his body open as he covers up his head. Those things have been known about Clottey for ages. Cotto took advantage of those weaknesses in his recent fight against Clottey last year, beating him in the later rounds with a hard body attack. But why fight Clottey if Cotto, a person that Pacquiao just finished destroying, already beat Clottey. What good is that?
Roach continues, speaking about Clottey’s size, “I am always a concern, of course. But the thing is, going into the ring, my guy [Pacquiao] is going to be around 149 pounds and the other guy [Clottey] is going to have to be about 10-12 pounds on him and be bigger. But size doesn’t win fights. Ability does.”
Naturally, and it really helps when you choose a guy that was just beaten by one of Pacquiao’s victims. Clottey has few wins over top tier opponents during his career, and has already been beaten by Carlos Baldomir, Antonio Margarito and Cotto. You can see that Clottey has mixed results when facing top tier opponents, which is why it seems odd that Pacquiao is being matched against him rather than Mayweather, Mosley or Paul Williams.
