Joshua Clottey vs. Miguel Cotto welter unification fight, who will win?

[Majesty]

So perhaps one big difference in the fight was that Cotto was better able to adapt and keep fighting where as Clottey was not able to adapt as well to the problems facing him. At this level there are always things to overcome in a fight and a true champ can adapt and overcome.

ok lets say Cotto hurts his left leg and he can no longer use his jab or his left hook effectively, you think he'd adapt better to that? or to a cut?

Given the way both guys responded to their problems i think Cotto would have adapted to a leg injury fine. Clottey was looking for excuses. Cotto could have used the cut as an excuse but continued to fight.

Except he didn't, in the post-fight interview he said it didn't affect him, just that he twisted onto his knee when he fell & was sore for a few minutes

I was referring more to how the guys were behaving in the ring rather than what they said post fight.
