Last night Manny
Pacquiao earned his first win at the full welterweight limit by dismantling solid top welterweight Joshua
Clottey in a unanimous 12 round decision.
Clottey had no answer for
Pacquiao's speed the entire fight.
Clottey's defense was solid but he was unable to take any chances on offence for most of the fight due to the barrage of punches coming at him from
Pacquiao. Manny also showed once again how solid his chin is by taking several good clean shots from the bigger stronger
Clottey.
The win sets up a potential showdown with the winner of the May 1st Floyd Mayweather versus Shane Mosley fight. Pacquiao now has to be considered the best welterweight in the world which is incredible since he is also easily the best light welterweight and lightweight. It's almost become cliche but the sky is the limit for Pacquiao.
The event also seemed to be a huge success for Jerry Jones who pulled off a 50,000 seat sell out for the fight.
