Cotto won't hurt Clottey with body shots

[ICB]

Very nice but what people tend to forget boxers with the Ghanian guard are rarely hurt by body shots. Oscar De La Hoya really attacked Felix Sturms body and Shane Mosley went after Winky Wrights. Both had little effect (i know people are gonna mention they were to small but there are the best examples i know). When was Azumah Nelson or Ike Quartey ever hurt by a body shot? As a guys hands arepurely protecting his face he is mentally prepared for body shots. Plus its not like Margo didn't hit Clottey with body shots with the 1500 punches he threw.
On the other hand Cotto will find it harder to tag Clotteys face than he did Margarito's so he will invest in the body surely. I just don't see it being effective especially when Clottey is gonna weigh 165 pounds plus. This is his chance to step into the spotlight and he is gonna take out years of frustration on Cotto and stop him late. He is gonna have to have a better workrate than he did against Judah.

Im sorry but Joshua Clottey is not Ike Quartey and he certainly isn't the legendary Azumah Nelson. I don't think either of those fighters would lose heart on only an injured hand against Antonio Margarito, or give away a win over the limited Carlos Baldomir.

Have you ever seen Joshua Clottey vs Richard Gutierrez ? Joshua Clottey was quite easy too hit to the body. And did have some problems with body shots and even though he done enough to win a decision.

He almost gave away a win again and people seem to be forgetting this, Joshua Clottey has suspect stamina and a suspect mentality. And i don't really think Joshua Clottey is proven at the world class stage IMO.

Is he good ? yes he is and he deserves his shot, but i do think Joshua Clottey is getting a bit overrated by fans. He isn't special in any one area except for his counter punching, and he certainly has some flaws with his concentration, stamina. And leaving his body exposed.

Clottey may turn out to have a better career than both of em. How does finishing a fight with a broken hand mean you have no heart? He finished the fight he didnt look to the corner for someone to bail him out.(cough) Cotto (cough). You bring up the Baldomir fight like he was losing on points, he was ahead on all three cards, and they both were coming in with their heads. That was also about 10 years ago.

Thats the thing though he never broke his hand thats a myth, even Joshua Clottey admitted himself it was only a hand injury. Not a fracture or ETC, i've seen fighters over come far worse than an hand injury and win a fight. Thats why i question his heart.

I never made out he was losing the Carlos Baldomir fight, what im saying is that i question he's concentration/mentality. Because he gave away a win against Carlos Baldomir, like Andrew Golota gave away a win against Riddick Bowe.

He also almost got himself Dq'ed again against Richard Gutierrez. I think that for certain raises a question mark about Joshua Clottey. IMO he blows hot/cold too much for my liking.
