i love and respect ALL BOXERS…whtever their race or religion.most of these guys came from dirt poor families,or no families at all…be it from the hoods of america,the slums of the philippines or the jungles of ghana…these fighters deserve some respect,…and it riles me when sam so called fans of one boxer starts showing deisrespect to the other boxers…give credit where credit is due…pacquiao did a lot for the sport…mayweather inspite of his attitude and crime-related family is one of,if not the best pure boxer the sport has ever seen,…people say pacquiao fans are so oboxious,but frankly i don’t know which are worse the pacquiao fans or the pacquiao haters…to me,both are on the same level…way down looow…like yourself lahr.

The thing many are forgetting is that fighters who are truely special can break the conventional rules and beat fighters that are “too big,too strong,too fast,too tall,too whatever!
The thing is we don’t truely know how special any fighter is untill they have taken risks.I’m really looking forward to this fight!

Fair article and you are entitle to your opinion. Actually a good assessment of the comparison between the height and reach advantage of Clottey. This writer is a little respectable even though I myself thinks that Pacquiao will win. If Dave Lahr is reading this, this is the way you arrive at a conclusion by pointing out the advantages of one guy and getting your conclusion from there.

Paul Williams is the one name that no one at welter weight will even whisper. Beating him would make the biggest statement in boxing, but the truth is no one at welter weight believes they can beat that man.

Manny Pacquio is one of the most overrated fighters in boxing history. He is not a welter weight great, and in fact he is not even the best welter weight in the world right now. He beat up Cotto a guy who got totally destroyed by Margaritto and they made him the number 1 welter weight in the world. He should have fought Shane Mosley. Now he is going to face the guy that Cotto beat. If he wanted to impress me, he should have fought somebody that someone like Sugar Ray Leonard, or Tommy Hearns would have fought and excepted the challange from Paul Williams. None of these fighters today should be talked about in the same breath as the all time greats, because while these guys are busy making up excuses like he’s too big, or he’s too tall Sugar Ray Leonard chose to take on fighters no one thought he could defeat like Tommy Hearns, and Marvin Hagler. If someone wants to prove to me they’re an all-time great in the welter weight division defeat Paul Williams then we can talk. Until then all these guys are the same just different names, and different fan bases, but all the same.

I don’t hate the guy, I just don’t worship him. All I asked is what will happen if Pacquiao can’t hurt Clottey?

Why do you all hate Manny so much? He’s been nothing but good for the sport of boxing. Do you hate Manny solely because of his obnoxious fans?

Clottey is going to hurt Pacquiao! That is why Roach is ranting and raving about this fight. Clottey will overpower Pacman and tear up his face! Mark my words. Pacman is easy to hit and he hit Cotto with 267 power shots and could not knock him out. Pacman is going to be hurt.

Cotto actually could have finished that fight, but he was taking a terrible beating. Dela Hoya looked like he was taking Pacquiao’s punch, but what it came down to was that he just too slow to catch Pacquiao with anything. Clottey is something of a mix of these 2. Here you have a guy that may possibly be able to take the punch like Dela Hoya, and may be just fast enough to land some punches like Cotto was able to.
The question people should be asking is what will happen if Clottey taste Pacquiao’s best punch and nothing happens? I remember when every body and their moma thought Trinidad was going to destroy Hopkins, and you saw everybodys face when Trinidad landed that big right hook on him, and B-Hop just looked at him and shook his head like it was nothing. You knew it was over for Felix at that point. I’m not saying that will happen, but it Clottey taste Pacquiao’s power and keeps coming, at that size with his strength unless Pacquiao plans on running all night you could be looking at something you didn’t expect.

If it took him 12 rounds to stop glass jawed Cotto he’s not gonna stop clottey in 5.
