I had to make this thread! I KNOW for a fact Cotto is going to punish him if the fight is ever made, but it seems a lot of people are over-estimating Clottey's abilities (or lack of) and under-estimating what Miguel can do. Clottey is a good basic fighter, he will NEVER beat an ELITE pugilist! People are going to say "Well, Clottey was beating Margarito ass until he broke his hand!" I beg to differ...
In every fight i've seen Clottey in he's starts out good, working both head & body coming out of that Air tight D...but it usually only last for a 4-5rds. Clottey has poor stamina/conditioning (sometimes taking full rounds off), below average foot-work (not effective going backwards or w/ lateral movement, & He doesn't move his head (sucker for the jab, & str8 rights)
I'm not saying Miguel is perfect, but he is PROVEN against ELITE opposition! I'm pretty sure Cotto would get rocked early, stay behind his jab & wear Clottey out with a good array of punches to make him quit on his stool (claiming a broken jaw, or some fake injury) around the 9th or 10th rd!
