Instead of Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather on March 13, boxing fans will get to see Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey on March 13 in Dallas, Texas.
While not as explosive, the Clottey vs. Pacquiao mathup is interesting. Clottey has been competitive in losses to Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto, the latter lost to Pacquiao in November.
Clottey is a game fighter with a good skill level and he'll bring his best to the fight against Pacquiao. But he can be hit as witnessed by the Cotto and Margarito fights and with the way Pacquiao is going right now, I'd expect a hard-fought fight, but a win by Pacquiao around the 8th round.

I like the fight, obviously not as much as I would have like to have seen Floyd v Manny but its a good setup for that fight to get done in November or so. In my opinion Clottey beat Cotto and I think he can give Manny a better fight that Cotto.
I agree, it's not Manny-Mayweather, but it's not a bad fight. Clottey presents Manny some style issues that Mayweather doesn't. Still, I think Manny has to be favored going in.
