If Clottey tries to fight like Margarito and throw a hundred punches a round, he'll be completely gassed halfway through the fight and Cotto will stop him. He needs to fight a smart, defensive, counter-punching fight. He's not, nor has he ever been, a pressure fighter.
Edit: One more thing, Clottey doesn't seem to like getting hit like Margarito does/did. Not that Clottey's scared of being hit or anything, but Margarito actually seemed to enjoy it in a perverse way and an important part of his mystique and intimidation was that no matter what his opponents threw at him he just stood there grinning. The willingness to take a ton of punishment to dish some out was an intrinsic part of Margarito's character and it played a large role in breaking the spirit of his opposition.
