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

[ElTerribleMorales]

link --> Freddie Roach believes that Clottey will beat Cotto

Freddie Roach thought that Penalosa would beat to Juanma Lopez also....

Freddie Roach predicted that Hatton would not last 3 rounds with PAC... A very precise BOLD prediction...
.

Freddie Roach also said that he was gonna help Mike Tyson win another world title, and that didn't happen, now did it?

[Taeth]

I pick the tough defense minded Clottey over Cotto primarily on the basis of their respective performances against their common opponents in Margacheato and Judah...

Cotto quits against Margo in the 11th round while Clottey took Margo to a close UD loss...

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.

Cotto easily walks around at 180 in shape. If he comes into the ring around 165, he probably has a six pack at 180-185

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!!

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.

that's the dumbest thing you've said in a while, Cintron is utter garbage, Cotto would beat him twice by TKO and the win a lopsided UD all in just one fight, and then Kermit will cry an ocean

Cintron has his on and off moments, I think if he landed what he did on Margarito in their second fight that Cotto would be knocked out.

and that's a big if, cause i KNOW that if Cotto landed a left hook to Cintron's body he'd crumble to the canvas and start to cry like a bitch, offering the ref a blow job to restart the fight, claiming that Cotto elbowed him to the ribs, cause no one could punch that hard

Cotto arrives in NYC!

World Welterweight champion Miguel Cotto arrived in New York Friday night with his family, (L-R) Alondra Cotto,wife Melissa Guzman, Miguel Angel Cotto III and Luis Aquino for his upcoming World Welterweight championship fight against warrior Joshua Clottey on Saturday, June 13 at Madison Square Garden. Top Rank promotes this HBO televised event...


I hope Cotto won't bring his little children at ringside on fight night... I don't want to see his little children crying if ever he losses badly to Clottey... I don't want to see a similar scenario in his fight with Margacheato... Just my opinion tho...
.

[kingfrnk]

Cotto will win.

[TheMacMagician]

Takin a gamble on Clottey for this one although i'm unsure whether Clottey can let fly with enough leather. I think he'll make it tough for Cotto all 12 rounds and maybe start to get to Cotto later in the fight and break Cotto's will once he's hit him with everything and not got anywhere.....

[P4PChamp]

I'm pulling for Clottey to win this but I do not believe he will be busy enough to do it.

[CFH]

Clottey doesn't have the work rate, stamina, or the power to really bother Cotto from what I've seen, although Cotto's chin isn't exactly made of steel. Clottey's best chance IMO is to use his defense, try to keep Cotto on the outside, and box his way to a decision. I think it'll be close-ish (maybe 116-112/117-111), but Cotto will win.

[El Kabong]

I want to see how Cotto bounces back from the loss to Margarito and the trainer controversy. I think Miguel on his best day could win a wide decision, but if he screws up Clottey is man enough to make him pay for his mistakes.

[Althugz]

Clottey is a tough, tough fighter. It would not surprise me at all if he pulled off the upset.

[Pugilistic]

I pick Cotto to win a competitive but clear decision over Clottey. .

For Cotto to win he has to use his footwork, use his jab, keep up a steady workrate and avoid Clottey's lead right hand and short inside shots plus not to get discouraged with Clottey's high guard and come forward style.

For Clottey to win he has apply pressure, make Cotto work every round and use his accurate lead right hand.

[Puerto Rican Punch]

I have Cotto to win a UD... I don't feel that he will end the fight by KO, but he can outbox Clottey. However, Cotto will need to be in a great shape to battle with Clottey who is strong, hunger, and dangerous. Cotto has to prepare for 12 very physical rounds. I have to admit that I had been kind of worried due to the problems that he had with this uncle and how this could affect his preparation. I am hoping that he could get the concentration that he needed training outside the island far from the distractions. Miguel I'm with you...

[XaduBoxer]

Sh!t Clottey looks hungry and very focused... Cotto should watch out all the time that dangerous uppercut of Clottey...

[ElTerribleMorales]

Cotto looks to be in great shape and completely focused at the task at hand
