Yes, you read it right. The fight between these two pound-for-pound champions has already been set and is currently making waves in the betting scenes. Pacquiao is leading and is making incredulous betting figures. In one betting site, you would need to place a 750 dollar bet on Pacquiao just so you could win a hundred dollars. And, if you bet on Mosley for a hundred bucks, you would be able to win 450 dollars. It has been expected that this kind of betting statistics will further continue as the Pacquiao vs. Mosley fight nears.

Boxing analysts say that this is very predictable considering the record that Pacquiao holds. His latest ring conquers were all victorious, earning him new title belts and a ferocious reputation of being able to win match after match over bigger and more powerful opponents. However, this should not make Pacquiao comfortable with his lead over Mosley whose boxing career has recently been tainted with illegal use of performance enhancing drugs. Mosley has everything to earn in this fight and nothing to lose except for the fact that his boxing career will definitely go down much lower than ever in the event that he loses over the 32 year old Manny. The motivation to get back what he has lost along with his skills in boxing is more than enough to make the 39 year old Mosley a dangerous competitor.
Surely, a lot of people will say that Pacquiao will still be able to dominate this match. The problem, however, is that there is really no telling as to how much Mosley has prepared and invested just to be able to get this fight. Pacquiao has a 52 wins, 38 by knockout, 2 loses and 2 draws record, while Mosley has his 46 wins, 39 by knockout, 6 loses and 1 draw to boast of. Nothing is certain until that May 7 Pacquiao vs. Mosley fight happens.

After the disintegrated fight between Mayweather and Pacman, the Cowboys spoke person Brett Daniels don’t want to give falsehood information about this parley. Before Clottey’s name is brought out here, Pacman’s trainer Freddie Roach and Canadian Adviser Michael Knocz have talked and negotiate a fight between Yuri Foreman and Manny Pacquiao, however Pacman’s trainer and adviser disagreed to this.

Among the boxers option to fight Pacman are Shane Mosley who has a fight this January 30, Antonio Margarito who is not available and Miguel Cotto who was in recent times smashed by Pacman.

Top Rank Promotion is still discussing the PACMAN-CLOTTEY’S bout with Vinny Scolpino, the manager of Clottey and they are looking forward to get this fight on since Clottey is yearning for almost years now to fight with a known boxer. Since both rivalries are under Top Rank Promotion, their executives are positive to get this fight on the 13th day of March.

Mr. Bob Arum has given his word about the pull out fight between Pacman and Mayweather Jr. Though Pacman-Clottey’s fight is still under negotiation Pacman with his team are schedule to take off in Los Angeles on January 17, 2010 for the start of his 8 weeks training. Even if the Pacman and Mayweather bout was declared off, Floyd Mayweather is still yearning to fight Pacman, yet Bob Arum said that their fight won’t be possible anymore for this year.

Though Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey’s fight may not be spark that as much interest with Mayweather and Pacman’s fight still Clottey is the best choice and is worth to fight for according to some boxing analysts. Clottey has showed his skills and class on all his fights even his recently concluded fight with Cotto. Clottey lost his fight with Cotto but many boxing analysts said that Clottey’s fight with Cotto proves that his defense is certainly atop above others and Clottey is the best and most credible welterweight fighter available.

Let’s just wait and see then!

March 13, 2010 is the said to be date for the bout between PACMAN and Floyd Mayweather; however the fights veracity will not be seen anymore on the screen for such drawback encountered along the negotiation of this greatest fight. On the other side of the coin, many boxing fanatic is still longing to see a different bout this year in the boxing history. Many is questioning, how different may possibly be the bout between Joshua Clottey and Manny Pacquiao? Is it also a must seen fight of the year or just same as the brawl we’ve been seeing before? Boxing enthusiast would like to witness a peculiar bout this year and many is seeing that the fight between PACMAN and Mayweather Jr. will reach the expectations of many.

Who is really Joshua Clottey? Clottey is a 32 years old boxer from Ghanaian, a country is West Africa. He is welterweight fighter with a boxing record of 35 wins with 20 knockout and 3 losses, two of these losses is a knock out.

Considering this numbers or boxing records of Clottey many may raise their eyebrows if they hear someone saying “how competent Joshua Clottey to fight the number one Filipino boxer and the number one pound for pound champion? As for me, the question is not how competent a boxer in a fight but how he actually fights on the ring on the said date. Though being confidence and competent is a good virtue to possess in winning a fight but what matters most is how you show your shining prowess as a boxer during the actual fight. Many competitions were lost because of over confidence. A boxer may be confident to fight now but if not properly manage during the actual bout the boxer’s confidence and competency will draw him back off the boxing arena.

Though PACMAN and Floyd Mayweather’s bout were collapsed and the fight between Clottey-Pacman is may not be as much as interesting as with Mayweather and Pacman, still many will see this fight to see it for themselves!

Different websites has their own way of declaring that this boxer is the number one boxer on the lists. I respect their notion and pronouncement of whom is the top boxer for them. However, still lots of boxing aficionado would agree to the pronouncement of Mr. Bob Arum of the Top Rank Promotion. He had said that the Philippines pride Many Pacman Pacquiao is the best fighter that he has ever seen who is alike with Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler.

He said so, because he has seen how Pacman prove his boxing prowess in different divisions.
