Manny Pacquiao Boxing News

By Dennis Broadhurst: Well, I just saw the fight and admit that it was not the most exciting of fights, however, I think that people should lay off Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao did amazingly well, landing many more punches on Joshua Clottey than he was hit with, most of them were body shots but still shots.

By Dave Lahr: Okay, I’ve seen the Pacquiao-Clottey fight, and I now think Pacquiao should consider himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth that he wasn’t facing Floyd Mayweather Jr. instead of Joshua Clottey last night at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium. Mayweather would have boxed the socks of Pacquiao and given headaches [...]

By Chris Williams: I hate to say I told you so, but I did. I knew the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight was going to be a total mismatch. And for the many Pacquiao fans, including trainer Freddie Roach, who said that Clottey was the type of opponent that would bring an exciting fight, [...]

By Ryan Dunn: In a victory as impressive as any in Manny Pacquiao’s career, the Pride of the Philippines has won a unanimous decision after twelve rounds of some of the most one-sided boxing we’ve witnessed at the elite level in some time. Pacquiao won at least 11 of the rounds tonight decisively, against a [...]

By Alexander Fugate: The Pacquiao-Clottey fight went almost exactly like the overwhelming majority felt it would. A vast majority felt Clottey would cover up too much and not throw enough punches to win rounds and didn‘t possess the power to knock Manny out. This feeling was based on the fact that Clottey has only one [...]

By Eric Hernandez: As I await tonight’s welterweight battle I find myself asking Why. Why would Manny Pacquiao risk a big money fight With Floyd Mayweather by fighting a guy in Joshua Clottey. That will be extremely difficult to look good against, he has a tough chin and his defense will make it [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Freddie Roach seems to be conflicted about wanting Manny Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. On one hand, Roach can’t stop talking about how much he wants Pacquiao to fight Mayweather next, and yet in the next breath, Roach is saying that Mayweather doesn’t make the rules in boxing. Roach, of course, [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Tonight’s fight at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium is mostly filled with mismatches of the worst kind. On paper, the bout between Joshua Clottey and Manny Pacquiao figures to be an easy win for Pacquiao over a limited Clottey, but I see Clottey pulling off a huge upset over Pacquiao tonight to spoil [...]

By Chris Williams: The more and more I think about the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight the more I believe this fight should be on regular HBO and not on pay-per-view. The reason is simple. Clottey is about as basic a fighter that you’ll ever see. He throws few punches, covers up all the [...]

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is very interested in having Pacquiao fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. next, as long as Mayweather wins his next fight against Shane Mosley on May 1st. However, Roach’s attitude remains negative about the Olympic style random blood testing that Mayweather has been insisting on for Pacquiao to take [...]

By Jim Dower: As expected, Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KO’s) came in right at the welterweight limit of 147. It’s good that Clottey didn’t have to sweat off an excess pounds, because that would likely leave him feeling weakened for tomorrow. Now he can rehydrate and possibly come into tomorrow’s fight in the neighborhood of [...]

By Esteban Garduno: In the latest boxing news, Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya chimes in with his own prediction on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight for this Saturday night, saying in an interview with Sky Sports, “I think Manny Pacquiao will have an easy time with Joshua Clottey. Styles make [...]

By Chris Williams: If Top Rank promoter Bob Arum expects to have leverage for a future fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., then this Saturday’s fight between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey will have to do really well in terms of Pay-Per-View buys. The reason is because if the fight sells poorly to the boxing public, [...]

By Peter Wells: Maybe if things were taken back in time I’d be writing about the biggest fight ever between Mayweather and Pacquiao. A fight inspired by money and fame. But instead I’m writing about a fight inspired by two proud nations and legacy. It may not appeal to people who don’t enjoy boxing unless [...]

By Jason Kim: Former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey has always been known as a tough fighter because of his power, speed and his ability to rough up his opponents during the course of a bout. However, as good as Clottey is, he’s limited in that he fights in spurts, and spends a lot of [...]

By Chris Williams: If Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and trainer Freddie Roach had their ways, World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao would be facing WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley next and not unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. Both Roach and Arum see it easier to deal with Mosley and set up a fight compared [...]

By Dave Lahr: Okay, so first of all Manny Pacquiao is in deep trouble this Saturday night. Joshua Clottey is going to be bringing size and power that Pacquiao has never seen before in his career.
