From what i'v been seeing on here, it seems like nobody is givin Clottey any respect. i think this is gonna be a tough fight for Cotto. Clottey is no Micheal Jennings. im neutral by the way, i just want to see a good fight. i just think its strange how people are saying cotto is gonna straight up kill clottey etc, etc.... is anybody pickin Clottey for the upset
imo the fact clottey has been on the shelf for so long (10.5) months by 6/13 is the biggest reason hes the underdog. on the flip side im a cotto fan but clottey off pure heart and determination will get him through the fight, but i still pick cotto cause i think he can outbox clottey like he did shane. also who knows when clotteys last ko was?
clottey is goona give cotto fits.
clotty wont back up, cuz cotto cant hurt him, and cotto doesnt always do well when he cant hurt a guy.
its gonna be tough, i jus think if cotto boxes early, he'll bank enough rounds.
but its gonna be tough.
I'm picking Cotto to beat Clottey. I don't like of how Clottey goes into a shell after he launches his punches and lets the other guy outwork him. I know Clottey has a tight guard, and that can sometimes make it hard to get a clean head shot off on him. But I don't know why people say he's got a good chin when it's never really been tested all that much. I know Zab and Margarito are hard punchers but we all know Judah is a head case and Margarito wasn't 100% during his fight with Clottey, and he was reportedly injured as well. Cotto fougth both of those guys and was buzzed though, so we'll see what happens. I just think Cotto is gonna be the hardest puncher that Clottey has ever fought.
If any of you who say clottey will win wanna bet im down 20 30 40 or 50 k on it
Dude, it took me weeks to find a clottey bet, without odds, at 75k. im looking for someone to put 25k more on the table, i can farm that in an hour.
Cotto is my favourite fighter but I think Clottey is going to cause him MASSIVE problems in the ring, its going to be a really tough fight, I beleive Clottey to be a better fighter than Margarito and a tougher fighter, I don't think Mosley would have stopped Clottey lets put it that way, this is probably Cotto's hardest fight yet I just hope he knows it.
I do beleive in Miguel though, I think the Margarito fight was a wake up call and a lesson for him, I think it will make him a better fighter.
I usually pick the brawler with a good chin over a technical fighter with a bad chin, cause hes gonna get hit, but I think Cotto will have this fight well thought out and have his defence brushed up well enough to hit and not get hit.
I dislike some Cotto fans, the ones who don't accept Cotto's hair if you know what i mean but i'm very neutral towards Cotto, i kinda like him for what he is, always showing up to fight. I haven't seen Clottey fight too often and don't particularly like the guy either. I hope it's a good scrap i hope Clottey pulls it out though to end some of the hate on these forums.
To me it's actually going to be a close fight. That's why I'm pullin' the bitch move and not picking a winner haha. I'm just gunna go to the fight and enjoy that shit.
Ive got Cotto by UD but if Cotto trades too much he gets stopped.
If anyone wins by stoppage its Clottey imo.
i dont think anybody gettin ko. i think it might go the distance
I got Clottey too, but I'm not hangin on it. I just think he's able to take the fight to Cots. Plus, I like the guy so I'm hoping for a huge win to propel him to WW stardom. Mosley won't be able to refuse!
I basically have all of my points on Clottey. His chin is so tough, has the guy ever been knocked down at all? or at least hurt?
I think the only one's that are saying Cotto will kill Clottey and that Clottey has no chance, are the usual suspects, delusional Cotto fans.
i havnt seen alot of clottey fights. but from the ones i hav seen i think he's a tough bastard. its gonna be a good fight
Most people respect him, but they feel that Cotto has too many tools, and he is able to adjust pretty well.

In his pro debut back in Ghana.
