Floyd Mayweather vs Sugar Shane Mosley [May 1st]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Poor nothing .. guys like Willie Pep & Duilio Loi couldn't crack an egg yet not many in there time could fuck with them.
@ 2-0 .. I'm knocking the Mosley fight falling through .. I understand the situation but why fight a 140lber? Berto has defended his title three times, two of those times he fought a smaller man and the only WW he really fought he was nearly beat .. and he's in a crowded division. Not to mention he won a vacant title against fucking Miki Rodriguez who was somehow ranked by the WBC.
Selcuk Aydin crushed Bonsu in a mandatory title for Berto's belt and he has nothing lined up. I'm sure he'd take the fight, shit rematch Collazo. I never knock a money fight it's just that Berto hasn't done much to earn his spot and Malignaggi isn't really much of a money fight anyway.

his gloves/wrists are punching bags. His defense is very, very tight. And when he does get hit he smiles (see cotto fight).
Pacquiao is going to have to throw lots of hooks to do any damage. He was able to slip those straights against oscar, cotto, et al but I don't think they will be very effective against clottey. Gotta attack the ears

Yeah, the thing about Clottey is that when he has the ear muffs on (high guard)...there isn't very much pop on the counters coming back because his arms/upper body are almost never in a position to throw a solid shot from the hips.
I think he is going to try and work behind his jab, but unless he's following up with 2 or 3 punches after that, he's going to be eating a lot of right hooks over the top.
Tough fight regardless, because I seriously don't think Pacquiao can hurt Clottey.
I'm worried because Clottey's main offensive weapon seems to be his head. He uses the headbutt and is very good at making it look unintentional. With Manny being a southpaw, a clash is almost inevitable, and I can see Manny having to fight this one with a huge gash.
