Is Joshua Clottey a Worthy Opponent for Manny Pacquiao?
We've come to expect a lot from Manny Pacquiao as he has surged to the top
of the sport over the past several years. There have been marquee fights one
after the other, from his highly anticipated rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez,
to his retirement party for Oscar De La Hoya, near decapitation of Ricky Hatton
and his thorough dismantling of Miguel Cotto.That means that even in the
aftermath of a failed Pacquiao vs. Mayweather extravaganza, Joshua Clottey is
more than a suitable opponent. He's not a big name, and nobody should have any
illusions that this is a big event. But he's a solid fighter and there simply
were not many other suitable replacements. It's a much better fight than
Pacquiao moving up to 154 lbs to challenge titleholder Yuri Foreman.
