I think Clottey should be the favorite. I don't think Clottey would KO Pac. Yes Clottey is strong but he is not a power puncher. He couldn't KO Corales(RIP) and Diego was shot when they fought. And, honestly I cant remember when was the last time Clottey scored a stoppage. IMO Clottey does not have that IT. And, I think he should win. But, at the end Clottey would allow Pac to outwork him. And, Joshua would do just enough to lose a very close controversial decision.

Not sure ; I'll reserve judgment until I see how he fares against Cotto in November.
Though it wouldn't surprise me if he did ; Joshua always finds a way to give his big fights away to his opponet. (Margarito, Cotto.)Comment

No, Clottey is just a little bit too big for Pac. If he was a smaller WW I think Pac could take it, but not in a head to head match-up. Clottey would be able to get inside, just like Hatton did, but unlike Hatton, Clottey would really work him over inside. Clottey is a brilliant inside fighter and his left hook, straight right hand are brutal.
Clottey also fights southpaws very well. As you saw with Judah, Zab nearly always wins the first four or so rounds. Clottey split the first four rounds and then started breaking Judah down badly with those lead rights and uppercuts. He would do a similar thing to Pac in my opinion. Shoot the lead right, get inside where he can then really rough Pac up, **** him around and work the uppercut and left hook to the body.
This is a fight in which the size really would play a big difference because Clottey is so physical. Pac doesn't stop people from getting inside like Mayweather or someone. Usually though he can just out-fire them with his offense and out-speed them but Clottey is very fast in his own right and the speed difference wouldn't end up playing that much of a role.
Clottey by decision with Pac a very tired, mauled fighter by the end. Clottey too big, too physical, too good inside.
P4P though is a completely different story. Pac by decision due to activity and stamina. But Clottey would be a handful for anyone from WW to MW right now due to his defense, inside fighting and his combinations. His only flaw is his activity otherwise he beats every WW today easy. Still, against Pac he would take it by UD. Clottey is bigger than Cotto easily and while Cotto is a small WW (which is the other big reason Pac's fighting him), he will still outweigh Pac by a lot. The difference between Clottey and Pac though would be a large weight difference as well as a big size difference whereas Cotto is the same size as Pac but will just weigh more.Comment
