you forget that Cotto was smashed to pieces and beaten into submission in one of the brutalist title fights in this era. Beating feather fisted Michael Jennings proved nothing! Cotto is in with a big guy and underrated boxer who is capable of putting a hurtin on him. My money is with Clottey
Even though i do think Antonio Margarito cheated in the Miguel Cotto fight, you are right that we don't know how Miguel Cotto will cope under the pressure.

Because he will be revisiting that place again, although not as bad as the Antonio Margarito fight.

And like you said beating Michael Jennings doesn't prove how much Miguel Cotto has left mentally.

But my issue is that Joshua Clottey has also folded under pressure so how do we know Joshua Clottey, will also be able to keep his head screwed on for 12 rounds ?
The circumstances that you suggest about Clottey have been years ago and he has had himself a good career up to this point. I dont see any questions marks with him, especially seeing he fought the same Margarito that used hand wraps and held his own despite injuries. He never folded like Cotto did. Clottey's style dosent lend for him to sustain large quantities of damage
