:joshua 'the heater' clottey aka 'the grandmaster', former ibf welterweight champion of the world faces the little 'pilipino' man with dynamite in both hands who currently reigns as the best p4p boxer.

floyd 'trash talking' mayweather failed to step up and square it in the ring with manny pacquaio after all his mouthing off, who was the next in line to fall victim, a pride of ghana?

i'm posting this with all the confidence buttressed by the attitude of a realist, that come sunday morning on peace f.m, ghanaians will be served an unwelcome delicacy of breakfast for news when adwoa yeboah adjei and her co-anchor decide to do a literal translation on the outcome of events as transpired in the wee hours of the morning.

my fascination here is with the flow of the local language and the dexterity and mastery with which it is delivered in a no-holes-barred tell it in your ears attitude.

that said, is joshua clottey ready for this gargantuan challenge that a feisty frisky manny pacquaio presents by eclipsing this prospect from boxing's limelight to become 'the man'?

faced with the creme de la creme of world greats in the welterweight division, the hitherto unknown little pilipino man has decimated and forced into retirement the likes of oscar 'the golden boy' de la hoya who barely survived 8rds, ricky 'the hitman' hatton who personally gave me the fright of my entire life as an aficionado and partaker of the sport- damn!! i thought manny had committed sanctioned murder in-front of the whole world that night as his southpaw sledge hammer fist landed squarely on hattons' jaw flattening 'the brawler from manchester' who had to be frantically revived from his comatose by ringside paramedics.

then came miguel 'angel' cotto who had won what most boxing spectators thought was a controversial decision against joshua clottey, to which i personally believe the incumbent deserved the glory because i didn't see the latter displaying enough of a winning attitude coupled with work rate and ring generalship, then again joshua tasted the canvas in the second round which for me clinched the deal for cotto.

in the encounter that ensued between cotto and pacquaio, the latter man's combination of hand speed, power and ring generalship coupled with a steel chin served as his most prized arsenals once again as he relentlessly wrestled his 7th world title in classic pounding fashion. miguel 'angel' cotto's face was a river of flowing blood by the time the referee decided enough damage had been inflicted for the fight to be stopped.

emmanuel dapidran pacquaio a.k.a 'the mexicutioner' a.k.a 'the pacman'; that diminutive filipino pugilist whose exploits in the ring has created an aura of invincibility about him and made him stand out the tallest amongst the elite welterweights does not look anywhere near ready to lay down a single title for grabs. he intends keeping all seven for as long as his pinoy pride will last, and is hell bent on leaving a legacy in boxing and for posterity to judge him as one of the greatest ever.

not by any stretch of my wildest imagination do i see myself hearing the voice of legendary ring announcer michael buffer proclaiming this to the world, that...... from the capital city of ghana, a-c-c-r-a, the neeeeeew...........

in the mean time........ lets get ready to r--u--m--b--l--e.......!!!!!!!
