Manny Pacquiao Vs Joshua Clottey - Why Pacquiao Can't Lose!

After Manny Pacquiao beat Miguel Cotto back in November, the tidal waves of talk ran threw boxing as the mega fight that fight fans, promoters and even casual fans were drooling over, Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. seemed inevitable.

We all know what happened with the negotiations between the two sides in that fight, they fell apart.

Each side is pursuing different opponents now but the media and fans are still asking both sides about what happened in the negotiations and whether or not they will fight in the future. That shows up as dollar signs for the promoters on both sides because they know there is still a tremendous amount of interest in the fight and interest translates into profit.

Since there is still an interest in the fight between Pacquiao and Floyd, the promoters know that both of them cannot lose a fight before they face each other, it will only hurt the interest in the fight. So, unless Joshua Clottey either knocks out Manny Pacquiao or just completely dominates the fight, I can't see him winning a decision.

On the same note, if Manny Pacquiao hopes to have the largest payday of his career in the future and stand alone as the top fighter in boxing, he can't lose to Clottey. I don't even believe that Manny can win on a split decision because that will only hurt him in negotiations with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Clottey is a very tough and resilient fighter who I have watched work well against and beat Zab Judah, a very quick and elusive fighter (ala Manny Pacquiao). I'm not saying that Zab Judah is as good or better than Pacquiao, he's not, but Joshua Clottey has knows how to keep his guard up and pick his shots well. Pacquiao tends to leave himself open after he throws his punches so will Clottey be able to counter Pacquiao to the point where he knocks him out or completely dominates the fight?

It will be a good fight but I just can't see that happening because of what is on the line for the possible Mayweather versus Pacquiao fight.
