When I watched that fight again, no matter who you think won, cotto showed heart. All 3 commentators said the same thing. The ghost of margarito is put to rest after cotto went 9 rds with a very, very bad cut. Also, clottey beats ANY pacquiao opponent. No way pacquiao can put down a guy like clottey, not even talking about Cotto. Clottey looks like a middleweight in that fight. The clottey fight helps cotto.
Clottey is an idiot,I lost betting on him!!He let himself be outhustled by a 1 eyed fighter!!Cotto showed genuine power in that fight,he hurt Clottey with something in the 3rd!!
You still hung up on the mosley decision? Sorry to tell you but that fight is in the books.
I'm pushing for the rematch and for good reason... mosley beat cotto
If Pacquiao gets caught by cotto , the way clottey got caught in 6th round, then pacquiao is going down...period !! TKO
obviously... no former 106 lber should be able to withstand combos from a real elite WW.
The Margarito ghost wasn't put to bed in that fight, because Clottey isn't as good as Margarito. He may be more skilled, but he takes his foot off the gas. The only thing that saved Cotto in that fight was Clottey's lack of killer instinct. Cotto would've needed knee pads against a more aggressive fighter.
Thank you someone who sees it the way I did
cotto showed mad heart fightin on wit his eye poppin out but i feel that clottey stopped throwin punches and he lost it more than cotto won it. it aint cottos fault tho so you cant hold that against him
Cotto was a one-eyed man for a lot of the fight. That showed real heart man... Clottey is a difficult fighter too and incredibly weird style, if pacquiao says he saw a flaw in cotto he should fight clottey and see how hed look...
nah... clottey always slows down in most of his fights... it's a bad habit.

Hopefully we are not biased and can admit Cotto had a very bad cut that many others would've stopped boxing and gone to judges. Correct? Also, i hope you agree that pacquiao would not have been able to take shots from clottey or margarito (plaster or not).
cotto edged it because clottey stopped throwing punches.
Pull...Pull...Pull...That is not Cotto's fault! Could've, Should've don't work here!!!! It is in the books!!!!
Clottey slowed down because of the shots that he was getting from cotto. Watch fight again, watch it with open mind.

Clottey is WAAAAYYYY better than Marg.

Maybe not without the bricks, but he is.
I made a thread about the fight the same day...and I saw it very close. It could have gone to either fighter. The KD could have been the reason why Cotto won the fight.
