I'm pulling for Clottey.
Then you have the same fight as you'd have today just with 2 guys drained for weight.
Pernell would have a good shot at a decision here, but if we're talking lightweight Floyd, then I'd give Mayweather the slight edge.

Clottey will be a tougher fight than each of Pac's prior 140+ opponents. If he can turn on the gas when he needs to, he can win.
Roach thinks all of his fighters will knock out everybody. He's just talking sh-t though, as he has spoken far less confidently many times about...
I was thinking about that recently. Pacman however is not as one-dimensional as Trinidad was and Clottey is not on the level BHop was though he...
Tough call.... Would be a challenging style for Vargas.
Clottey is always diesel. I wouldn't worry bout his conditioning.
If Clottey solves his problem of disappearing for stretches in fights, he might kufc Pacquiao up. Not likely though unfortunately....
Calzaghe does not have a stronger resume.

...until he fought Tito.
Dawson. Speed, power, activity and fair defense. Few if any of Calzaghe's opponents had all these attributes(at least not at the time he fought them).
