Boxing Picks: Does Clottey Take A Better Punch Than Pacquiao? Two big time welterweight bangers will meet tonight when Manny Pacquiao faces Joshua Clottey. When the two fighters exchange toe-to-toe though which fighter can take it as good as they can give it? Below is a breakdown of both fighters resistance to punishement when standing atop blood soiled canvas. The Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey Odds have Pacquiao as a -800 favorite at Sportsbook.com.

Boxing Picks Analysis: Both Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey have a reputation for being able to withstand punishment. We do feel however that the Ghana native Clottey is a little more punch resistant. Clottey has claimed that “no man has ever hurt me in a boxing ring” and his statement hold true. Clottey has faced murderous punchers throughout his pugilistic career and he has never even been wobbled. Manny Pacquiao is a sturdy fighter but he has been rocked inside of the squared circle before. The Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey Odds have the Total at 9.5 Rounds with the Over at -185 boxing betting odds.

 It can be argued also that Pacquiao’s chin has not been really tested against some of the biggest punchers that he has faced. When Pacquiao fought Oscar De La Hoya has never even smelled De La Hoya’s Everlasts. When Pacquiao faced Ricky Hatton he never even broke a sweat. And when Pacquiao faced Miguel Cotto a combination never caught him flush. Pacquiao has shown the ability to take single shots from hard-hitting weltwerweights but what happens when he gets clocked in the ribs or on the chin by one of the sizzling combinations that Clottey is capable of throwing?

Pacquiao has a shredded physique but he is not the thickest of fighters around the waistline either. Pacquiao could have a little give when pounded repeatedly by a heavy body puncher like Clottey. Both of these guys have a high punch resistance but Clottey has proven that he is made of iron. Advantage Joshua Clottey. The Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey Odds have Clottey as a +500 boxing betting underdog.
