    If this goes to the cards, no way Cotto doesn't win with it being in NY with a possible Pacquiao fight on the horizon. I expect he will have enough to take it anyway, however, Cotto seems a fighter who really requires that mental edge & if he starts getting hurt by Clottey's uppercuts, then he might start doubting whether Margarito really had plaster in his gloves, & this could lose him the fight. Clottey isn't the hardest puncher, but he can break people down.

    Michael Jennings, Cotto's last victim, was on a boxing show yesterday, & whilst he picked Cotto to win, when asked if he was the hardest puncher he'd faced he said no. He said, whilst he hadn't been hit by as accurate a puncher, he had been hit harder with harder individual punches than those Cotto got him with. Just thought that was interesting considering how we go on about what a power-puncher Cotto is

    He was reffering to the head shots when he said he'd had harder, but admittedf the body shots werethe hardest and accurates he ever had. His left to the body is on of the best in the game at the moment.
