Joshua Clottey vs. Miguel Cotto welter unification fight, who will win?

Im not 100% certain that Clottey has the mentality to back Cotto and keep him there.Can let off the gas at times.But he is a very strong,defensivly capable and a repectable puncher.Cotto should respect that right hand throughout.....and for gods sake Do not square up on the ropes!!

Walking the fence on this one.Seeing Cotto has come very far,added some smooth boxing and matured.Awesome jab.He might just turn this into a sharp shooting display for a 12 round call.Leaning that way

;D

I think Margo and Judah are the only common opponents of Clottey and Cotto...

Never said he was but I'm saying it anyway. Your using performances of Margarito, a proven cheat, as some kind of measuring stick to how this fight would pan out.

Margo, without his plaster, had no confidence in his punches againsed Shane.

We can assumed Margo used plaster in both the Cotto and Clottey fights... I'm also using Judah (another common opponent) as another measuring stick... I guess Judah is not a cheat...

Nope only in the Cotto fight. Only because how Cotto's face swollen up... that was nasty.. Mosley was landing harder right hands in Cotto and look how his face looked at the end of the fight.

Puya taht like em saying first time he ever tryed it was with Mosley because tell truth make more sense wouldnt to you dude. Cotto has a suspect chin and poor stamina ant the end of fights and cuts easy. Mosley iron jawed hardly ever cuts and has great stam at the end. To me it would make more sense to cheat in Mosley fight he had ever thing Margarito would have problems with but thats just a thought there since were trying to say when he used the wraps my guess as good as anyones.

To me is just a plain situation of common sense. What I mentioned in my post earlier and that fact that Cotto was the favorite in this fight and it was Margos biggest fight ever. In the Mosley fight he was the favorite, Cotto already won vs Mosley and Mosley is 37 years already.


That is enough for me to believe he use PLaster with cotto

We can assume anything about Margacheato...

We can assume he used plaster in Cotto and Cintron but didn't used in Mosley (obviously), Clottey and Williams...

Or we can assume he used plaster in all his fights...

Your assumption is as good as mine...

Cotto UD. Too fast for Clottey. But Clottey will be a threat until the final bell.

I think Cotto beats Clottey quite handily. Cotto is too smart a boxer for Clottey and will outbox him. I see it being a clear UD for Cotto. It's a good matchup after the relatively straightforward Jennings win.

So styles make fights Puya and Mosley style was bad for Margarito i still think the Cotto fight could of gone Mosley way was very close fight. Cotto has been cut up in alot of his fights so just because he was cut up and bleeding does not sure surprise me in the Margarito fight.

same here

what the fuck is wrong with saddos and all this cotto hating all of a sudden.

The guys a fucking animal at 147 and easily the best in the toughest division right now.

Apart from....

A-A mayweather return
B-Juan Manuel Marquez finding his feet at 147 and becoming as destructive at the weight as he is at 135


Cotto will never be beaten again!!

Think Mosley can beat him in a rematch and Williams if he does come down in weight think while beat him as well i dont find him unbeatable. Cotto is pron to cuts special in the mouth and has poor stamina down the stretch form what i seen in Mosley and Margarito fights so who knows.

Cotto isn't gonna outmuscle Clottey, I don't know if he will break his will but I think Clottey's defense will annoy Cotto and cause him some frustration. This will be a good fight. Clottey isn't gonna stop him either one can win a decision. Clottey is known for gasing late in fights though, if Cotto took advantage of that he can stop him late maybe. This is a real pick em fight.

Mosley might beat Cotto, though I think Cotto handled him quite clearly in a close fight, I think Pacquiao probably would stop Cotto, he can't deal with the movement and speed IMO, Pacquiao is Judah and Judah landed the left hand when he threw it in ernest, and it hurt Cotto, if Pacquiao hurt Cotto he would be all over him. I also still see Berto one right uppercut away from stopping Cotto, same with Cintron and his power. Also Paul Williams would give Cotto an interesting fight if he ever returns to 147.
