Boxing Picks Analysis: Manny Pacquiao is content with his life outside the ropes. Manny is an icon in his native Philippians and a very wealthy man. Pacquiao has torn through a list of who’s who of challengers in the lighter weight divisions at a pace uncommon for modern day champions. After so many wars though, could Pacquiao be a little shopworn? The other concern is overconfidence. There is an old saying in boxing circles that being champion make a fighter 25% better. Pacquiao has been on top for a long time however and even the best  can have trouble getting “up” for certain fights. Pacquiao’s dream fight with Floyd Mayweather fell through and now he will face a much less lucrative option in Clottey. Lennox Lewis became complacent at the top of his game against Hasim Rahman and he got flattened. Will the same happen to Pacquiao? The Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Boxing Wagering Odds Total is at 9.5 Rounds with the Over at -175.

Josh Clottey doesn’t have it all. Compared to his poverty stricken countrymen in Ghana, Clottey has it made. But compared to the standards of elite American athletes Clottey is the equivalent of the 12th man on an NBA roster. Clottey has made it clear that he could careless about Pacquiao’s aura of invincibility. Clottey has an iron chin and he said that he plans on roughing up the smaller Pacquiao. After disputed losses to contenders Miguel Cotto and the late Vernon Forrest,  Clottey has a chip on his shoulder like hall-of-fame middleweight Marvin Hagler did when he felt he was being given no respect. Clottey could easily be considered the hungrier fighter in this bout over the part-time vocalist Pacquiao. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Boxing Wagering Odds give Clottey only a 13% chance of winning.
