He is a quick-fisted, accurate counterpuncher with an excellent left hook. And he has a good jab when he decides to use it.
His most recent fight was in June against Miguel Cotto. He lost a split-decision in a fight in which many thought he was punked by the judges.
He also lost by decision to Antonio Margarito in 2006. He had won the early rounds before breaking his hand in the fourth. Perhaps if that hand had been wrapped by the trainer of his opponent, the injury could have been avoided.
His only other loss was by 11th-round disqualification for repeated, intentional head-butts to Carlos Baldomir in a 1999 bout that Clottey was winning.
He’s managed to win a few fights, too. He beat Zab Judah via nine-round technical decision in 2008 and had a dominating win on points over a beefed-up version of the late Diego Corrales in 2007.
And for those who have just returned from a lengthy Antarctic expedition, a record-breaking stint on a Russian space station, or have recently awoken from a prolonged comatose state, there is a Filipino fighter named Manny Pacquiao who has been on a bit of a roll himself.
In a November fight with Miguel Cotto, after a competitive first five rounds during which Manny dropped Cotto twice, Pacquiao reached cruising speed and began to dominate, winning by 12th-round TKO.
This fight came, of course, after Pacquiao stuck Ricky Hatton like a Pamplona Bull putting its horn up the ass of a moron who had the bright idea of trying to run with it through the streets of Spain.
Pacquiao is a very fast-handed, hard-punching southpaw. He uses rapid in-and-out and side-to-side movement to set up stinging punches from angles that may have made Isaac Newton rethink his work.
The story of the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight is going to be about whether Clottey’s pressure and counterpunching can overcome Pacquiao’s foot speed and quick-handed, sharp-punching attacks.
Clottey has been a difficult opponent for everyone he’s faced and Pacquiao probably won’t be the exception. Especially for the first eight rounds or so.
