Joshua Clottey: "God Gave Manny Pacquiao His Power"

Challenger Joshua Clottey says he knows where Manny Pacquiao got all of his power.

"Manny is a good man. He prays a lot. God gave him his power," Clottey said. "He is a great champion and this is going to be a difficult fight. However, I have a plan - hard punching, back him up, don't let him take charge. I will pressure him."

Clottey, training in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., plans to break camp this weekend and go to New York City. He will have his Media Day at the Kingsway Gym, 1 West 28th St., 1 pm in New York on Thursday, March 4.

Pacquiao vs. Clottey is scheduled for March 13 at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Pacquiao vs. Clottey will be available on HBO Pay Per View.
