Judah quits against Clottey in the 9th round while Cotto TKOs Judah in the 11th...
Clottey is also much bigger than Cotto...

How is Clottey much bigger than Cotto who used to come into the ring at light welterweight at 160 pounds before he moved up. ALso Judah was stopped because of a cut wasn't he? He was fighting competitively with Clottey.
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 been as high as 180 in shape...that makes him bigger. And judah was being beaten and used the cut as an excuse to avoid the kayo or tko... Clottey will win this on hunger alone...
Think Clubber Lang waiting in the dark on his shot. Think winky vs shane I...the hungrier fighter will win this one.
