Yea, of course. Retired, fondly thought of fighter vs modern day fighter always ends in a KO for the former.
Possibly not, since Clottey would keep that guard up and seems to have a rock for a chin anyway. Even if Tommy was dead set on it, he doesn't have the same level of stamina as Pacquiao, so he'd have to try to pick his shots a little better. As a result Clottey might well make it to the final bell and join a very select group of welters. (Only one welter lost by decision to Hearns, forget the name, and Sugar Ray KO'd him 14).
Eh, kind of hard to KO an opponenet who's only there to block punches. Lots of lesser fighters get away with that **** and end up going the full 12 even against elite offensive fighters like Hearns and Pac.
2 welters went the distance with Tommy that was Mike Colbert and Alfonso Hayman, back when Tommy was still a prospect and not quite in his prime. I think Tommy with his range would get to him easier than Pac did, Cotto hurt Clottey and dropped him, so i can see Hearns finishing him.
hearns has more power then pac and is physically imposing. clottey would likely get stopped, but it would take a while.
I think Tommy would stop him over a 15 round fight, but Clottey could well last the full 12 if it's the shorter duration.
