Pacquiao-Clottey Fight Possible Classic Match

I found an interesting article today from BleacheReport regarding the possibility that the upcoming Pacquiao vs Clottey welterweight bout will become a classic match that boxing fanatics around the world would never forget. He base this remark on the fighting style of both fighters. On the said article,Clottey was described as have a great counter puncher and possesses nice defenses. Here's what Lorne Scoggins said about Clottey:

(Pacquiao watching the Cotto vs Clottey match)

Joshua Clottey is a rough, tough, genuine welterweight with a rock-solid defense. The 33-year-old boasts a record of 35-3-0 with 20 knockouts.

Stylistically, he relies heavily upon his quick footwork and superb blocking abilities. When attacked, he consistently holds his hands high with elbows tucked in tight to the body. He’s very hard to hit when he’s on his guard.

He’s also impressively resilient. This guy doesn’t run out of gas in the later rounds.

In addition to his boxing abilities, his demeanor inside the ring should provide plenty of quality entertainment. He tends to engage in overly dramatized theatrics at every hint of a foul. Read the original article from BleacherReport.

However, Pacquiao's weird style and evolving fighting skills makes it a great edge for the Filipino fighter. In the conclusion of his article, Lorne said that Clottey can be knocked-out by Pacquiao but not the same with Hatton which is on the earlier round but on the later round of the match.

Now what do you think, will it really happen that Pacquiao will KO Clottey? Let me know your reactions by leaving your comments below or casting your vote on the poll found on the sidebar.
