No doubt Clottey has the better chin, but Cotto is faster, hits harder, better technically. I am not saying Cotto can't lose this fight, he looked hesistant and less than impressive in his last outing, but Clottey is definitely the underdog and for good reason. I see this being similar to Cotto against Lovemore Ndou or Abdullaev.
Clottey has a bigger frame and taller than Cotto... Clottey comes to a welter fight in the 170 lbs. range... You'll be surprise on fight night to see how small Cotto will be compared to Clottey...

Judah was looking for a way out from that fight... When the ring doctor asked him "how many fingers?", he answered "six"... j/k
.
he did not quit, give me a break, the ref stopped because of the cut, and Clottey was far from dominating, he won a Technical Decision and barely with scores of, Duane Ford 87-84, Glenn Trowbridge 86-85, George Hill 86-85, he's only 1 inch taller than Cotto and has a 3 inch reach advantage, but Clottey also has a very small waist which usually don't hold up that well against body shots, especially Cotto like left hooks to the body, i'd go so far to say that Cotto gave Judah his worst BEATING, Tszyu giving him the most brutal KO of his career, the fight should be a bit competitive, and Clottey does have a chance to win it, but i see Cotto winning a comfortable UD, 7 or 8 rounds to 5 or 4.
Clottey did not dominate early in the Judah fight but when Clottey started to bust Judah, I think Judah was looking for a way out (quit) and the cut was a very good reason for the way out...
