    Round 4, pac clapped both his hands on clottey's head, :lol: and the referee warned him.
    So no, he couldn't KO clottey with both hands.

    Hmm... Clottey must have been so afraid to open up because he feared Pac's punches might tickle him to death?

    Did that egg get laid when Clottey did some chicken dancing in the late rounds?

    He could have got an accumulation knock down on Clottey with a low tank, but I seriously doubt he could single or combo shot ko Clottey while he had a full tank. Clottey's jaw is glass-free imo

    Clottey definitely was stumbling and staggering after one of those onslaughts in the corner. Pac could have stopped him for sure if he had opened up enough to exchange.

    Yes. . .but Clottey must have known 3 things:

    1. He wasn't gonna get no decision vs Pac.
    2. He needed to win by KO.
    3. He needed to, if only for this one fight, subtsantially increase his workrate.

    The guy just doesn't have it in him imo. How on earth can you play it "safe" when you're getting shut out is beyond me, especially in a fight of this magnitude. Clottey is an enigma to me.

    Pac absolutely had the power to KO him if Clottey had ever opened up offensively.

    Without question yes.....but Josh has a very tight Defensive shell that is like Winky's. The body work began to take its toll on Josh but there was little to NO opportunities to touch Josh's chin. If PAC connected and had more opportunities I believe he would have been able to hurt and finish Clottey.
