Joshua Clottey Keys to Beating Manny Pacquaio


by D.S. Williamson

Joshua Clottey’s trainer, Lenny DeJesus, believes that he doesn’t need to watch any tape in order to come up with a plan to beat Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao, the pound for pound best fighter in the world, will be watching tape, or at least his trainer Freddie Roach will, in order to come up with a plan to beat Joshua Clottey.

But Clottey’s trainer doesn’t believe that he needs to do what Ring Magazine’s 4 time trainer of the year does for every single one of his fighters. DeJesus, who is a locksmith when he isn’t training fighters, which is most of the time, recently stated that he “has the key to beating Manny Pacquiao” and that “he doesn’t need to watch any tapes.”

I almost feel like sending this article to Joshua Clottey because I feel so bad for him. There’s no way to beat Pacquiao without watching tape and coming up with a strategy. Seriously, DeJesus, seriously? Just because you were a cut-man for Pac in 2005 you believe you know how to beat the dude? Maybe, you’ve been sniffing too much of that metal that burns off of the keys you make.

In any case, let’s take a look at Clottey’s keys to victory in his fight against Manny Pacquiao. Clottey is a +450 underdog. So, there is a lot of things he’s going to have to do right to beat Manny.
