You HAVE to respect Clottey!!

[XaduBoxer]

I have respect for Clottey but not that high... He's a good fighter and a warrior... Also for Cotto, a good boxer and a warrior... But both has tendencies to get dirty when the going gets rough... Clottey with his headbutting and acting and Cotto with his famous low blows and now added with wrestling... Fighters should not engage in dirty tactics and should do the mauling with their fists in legal way...

Well tell you the truth i think Cotto done man he kinda got his ass kick i have no problem with scoring it was close but Cotto took alot of hits. This fight kinda makes me wonder if Margarito ever really cheated because Clotty is no big hitter and he was rocking Cotto bad that fight. Kinda of a fan of Cotto but dont think he while be the king of the division i thought he lost both Clotty and Mosley fights. He seems to really lose energy in later rounds kinda got lucky no one took advantage of it last night i think if he faces the likes of Pac, Mosley and even Margarito again he loses. I just think both the Clotty and Margarito fights have finished him as a fighter tell you the truth.

Cotto was never really seriously hurt last night.

[Mr140]

Going to have to disagree with that he look like he was going to be koed in few of the rounds and he was in pretty bad shape in the later rounds. But if that the way you feel o well i just dont see him as unfying the divsion really. Tell you the truth i think even Berto might have a shoot now. I just think Cotto stamina while be his down fall against Pac Mosley or Margarito. Maybe i am wrong but he looked pretty gassed and hurt to me at the end of the fight of maybe i watched a different fight.

[OumaFan]

What rounds do you think he got hurt? Legs never buckled, never wobbled. Announcers never noticed it and I haven't seen anybody else mention a time he got buzzed. He was getting tagged with some shots and was moving a lot, may have been tired but he never really got rocked. Clottey's just not much of a puncher, not featherfisted but not a concussive puncher.

Cotto beats Mosley again, like the first time, close but clear victory. But loses to Pacquaio.

[Mr140]

Seen few times were he got rocked watch it again and if he faces Mosley again i going by a 10 round knock out tell you truth. Think Cotto has gettin pretty lucky with the close fights and i even go as far to say that if he fought Margarito again he lose his stamina needs work.

[OumaFan]

I've seen it twice and he was never seriously hurt. No point in arguing this though anymore we obviously have gigantic differences on what constitutes being rocked.

Margarito might be done. We'll see.

[Quinito]

Cotto took some good ones but never wobbled. I thought for 2 seconds Clottey got knocked out cold when he got slammed on the canvas.

Truthfully, although Clottey can be dramatic, it didnt really bother me too much when he was fouled upon, though unintentionally from Cotto. For five minutes, he can lay flat on the canvas if he wants. He did always collected himself though, immediately. After the knockdown, he was visibly very frusterated with himself, but collected himself fast. Same thing with the knee, it looked like it would set him back, and it did for a round, but he got back to his gameplan. It is also very hard to look couageous next to Cotto. Plus, as Daxx said, it couldnt have been a more pro-Cotto crowd. He was his own guy last night, and you could see from his ring entrance that he was not intimidated by the circumstances or by Cotto. Excellent fighter imo, he fought a great fight. All credit to both men. Both did themselves proud.

[Spicoli]

I dont really respect him less then I already did prior to lastnight.But would have respected him much more had he closed the gap and forced his advantage with Cotto busted up and backing into some bad spots in the late rounds.He's just not a finisher and eased up instead of forcing a win that looked to be right in front of him.Only problem I have.

I really dont think he was looking to use the knee as an excuse.It was a legitimate fall,and the ref had no idea if it was severe or not.Clottey was told he could have 5 minutes and after some moans & groans he carried on,just as Cotto fought through the blood.Shite happens in a fight,you have to adapt and go on.
