    i actually think cotto pressing the action is what would get cotto in trouble vs clottey because clottey is an excellent counter puncher thats what he does

    and his power is as good as judahs and his defense is better
    the guys power is better than cotto's
    clottey is a beast welter he weighs in at 170 on fight night

      Cotto ate every punch Judah hit him with after the first few rounds with little effect. Once he got adjusted Judah was dead in the water.

      Standing man up with Cotto is not a good idea.

        Once he got adjusted? Adjusted to Judah NOT throwing punches?

        Name one fighter in Cottos last five that likes to stand and bamg? Ever since getting dropped by Torres and almost out his team has smartly put him in against guys on the move alot. You cant deny that facts.

        Judah WAS hurting Cotto. Look @ that 1st right uppercut.

          Judah was hurting Cotto yes, but Judah didnt stop throwing for no reason. When you throw punches your living yourself open. You dont think that Cottos pressure and punches didnt have an affect on Judah throwing punches?..Judahs hand speed is crazy fast, he was beating PBF to the punch for the 1st half of the fight and his power is very good as well, He would of rocked anyone with those shots, he rocked PBF when they fought, he almost knocked Tszyu through the ropes when they fought, Judah can ****.

              Once he got adjusted to Judah's power obviously. Judah stopped throwing punches because he was being mauled and punched...a lot.

              Look at every round past the third. Hell look at the seventh. Judah tees off on Cottos head around the 1 minute mark and Cotto just takes it. Judah hit him repeatedly with the left hand and Cotto shook it off after the early rounds.

              Clottey ain't gonna hit Cotto with anything new. Is Clottey a deadly finisher now? I have seen Josh fight 3 times now and I fail to see what gives him a decisive edge over Miguel Cotto. I mean really, Clottey has been spectacular when beating a shot Diego Corrales...he was spectacular against an inactive Antonio Margarito for four rounds...

              When he fought a younger guy who could stay with him he struggled. Is it just a feeling you have about Clottey? He hasn't done much to show that he's better than Cotto.

                Because he isnt..lol..Clottey is good but Cotto is better, I really dont see what Clottey brings to the table that will give Cotto any serious trouble, hell he fought Zab, I didnt think he would beat Zab to be honest.

                  Im a fan of Clottey, but what has he done besides beat a blown up Corrales? It would be a tough fight for Miguelito though.

                    If Margarito couldn't stop Clottey then how in the hell Cotto will?? Clottey wins this fight by late stoppage, he's a better boxer then Cotto.

                      Margarito beat Clottey, and not to make excuses but Margarito was coming off a long layoff before they fought. So your saying that since Margarito didnt KO Clottey then Cotto will loose by late stoppage becuase Clottey is a better boxer?...lol...ok if you say so.
