Clottey will bring it vs. Pacquiao on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium

The boxing world may be bummed that the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight has been scrapped, having been replaced by Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium.

But, drama and importance aside, "The Event" -- the nickname given the scheduled 12-round WBO welterweight title fight -- promises to be a better action fight than Pacquiao-Mayweather ever could.

Clottey, (35-3, 21 knockouts), is no joke. He's pushed every big name he's ever fought, including Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto, both of whom scraped by the Ghanian slugger via close decision. Certainly, there are many who feel Clottey was robbed last June 13, when he and Cotto duked it out in one of the better slugfests of 2009.

Clottey and his fans screamed "hometown decision" after Cotto won a split nod in the Puerto Rican's adopted home of New York City. Cotto sure looked the worse for the wear, sporting a bruised and bloody face at the end of the war.
Clottey also took it to Zab Judah in August of 2008, winning by technical decision after 9 rounds.

The Filipino superstar will be a solid favorite. But he tends to have problems with aggressive, solid-chinned sluggers. Just look at how he struggled with Erik Morales (Pac-Man's last loss, in March 2005) and twice with Juan Manuel Marquez (a draw in May 2004 and a win in March 2008).
Clottey, while one-dimensional, could be trouble.
