Clottey is a strong fighter with solid D. However, he'll need to be more active to beat Cotto. He needs to test Cotto's chin as much as possible.

Cotto didn't look himself in his last match even though it was against Jennings. Also, Arum chose the opponents carefully for the Pavlik and Cotto come back fights. That Pavlik fought a top ten opponent and Cotto fought a fighter who no one had ever heard of may be indicative of something...
Well he is known here in the UK but it was just a payday for Jennings and Cotto got the vacant WBO title in a winnable fight, it was a suitable fight after suffering such a loss I think.
