Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Fight Picks: Does Size Matter? Tonight on a gargantuan stage set at Dallas Cowboys stadium Joshua Clottey will try to shock the world and knock boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao off his pedestal. One of the major advantages that the Ghana native Clottey will have when he faces the Filipino icon will be size. Joshua Clottey is a full-fledged welterweight contender carved out of wood. Manny Pacquiao is a blown up lightweight that has to super size himself just to reach the 147 lb. welterweight limit. Will Clottey’s anatomical edge be the factor that helps him upset the boxing betting odds?

Fight Picks Analysis: Size in boxing does matter. In 1993 when a 205 Lb. heavyweight champion named Evander Holyfield met a natural 235 Lb. heavyweight contender named Riddick Bowe he was defeated. Boxing’s old axiom is that a good big man will beat a good little man. Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. Joshua Clottey is regarded as a very good fighter. Can Clottey’s edge in height and weight swing the pendulum in his favor against Pacquiao? The Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Fight betting Total is at 9.5 Rounds with the Over at -185 boxing betting odds.

Joshua Clottey should be about 160 Lbs. by fight time which will give him about a 15 Lb. edge over the 145 Lb. Pacquiao. For anyone that has ever boxed it is tiring to move around with a fighter that is two weight classes above you. Manny Pacquiao has tremendous stamina but if he has to wrestle around with the much bigger Clottey for 12 hard rounds he will feel the effects. Pacquiao looks as strong as he ever has but his frame is still much smaller than Clottey‘s. If Clottey can muscle Pacquiao around in the trenches and impose his will on the Filipino he has a chance at an upset.
