Great thread! I also had that fight a draw when I scored it but you have to be really observant to appreciate the work Clottey does and the subtleties of effective work done, unfortunately a lot of judges can't/don't do that, hence incompetent scoring...

Cotto is a running coward and won't rematch Clottey because he's a fraud and he finally realized it. He blamed Margarito's plaster for his previous ass whoopin, but now he realizes he's overrated and simply a coward.
Dude gotta agree with what you said about the fight before the cut, I consider the cut less consequential because I had Clottey winning rounds 1,2, and 3 save for the KD in round 1. And if Cotto hadn't been cut in 3 he may or may not have fought 4 with the same urgency so those saying the cut made all the difference should save it! Big props to cotto for manning up and fighting with the cut though.
I think Clottey has a very good shot at beating P.Willi too because even though logic would dictate when Clottey fought Margarito that Margo would outwork him and thus be expected to win that way, Clottey still took Margo to school by masterful counterpounching.
So it all depending on how well he can negate Williams' volume with good D and masterful counterpounching I give him a good shot. Quintana used movement and counterpounching to get his win, Clottey can use a different combination of techniques....
