Who seriously thinks Clottey can beat Cotto?

[GTL]

ill admit.. i do think he can beat cotto.. his performance was OK tonight.. i was disapointed as well..
i think hell put up a good fight.. and yes, still stand my by word and pik clotty to win. i wouldnt count on it. i just think hes a tough SOB

[MaFu MoFo]

I think Joshua Clottey is a good fighter, but he lacks the power needed to keep up with the WW Big Names. He will lose to Cotto, Cintron, Williams, Mosley.

wasn't impressed with clottey at all tonight. i've seen both guys fight before, and i feel like clottey should have gotten alvarez out of there by the mid-late rounds. no disrespect to alvarez, he kept coming.

cotto, or any elite ww would take care of clottey relatively easily in my opinion. but cintron is still pretty green, and even with cintron's power, i think clottey could give him all kinds of hell.

I didn't even have to see that Joke of a fight on Versus 2nite to know what's going to happen if Arum allows Clottey to get in there with Cotto!! But watching the fight; 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!

The thing I find troubling about Clottey's supposedly injured left hand against Margarito is that he kept throwing it about 6 to 1 over his allegedly good right hand. Alot of those shots with his left were full power later in the fight. Not bad for a severe injury.

After Cotto beats Marg, Marg can go have a rematch with Clottey and probably ko Clottey.

well im a Cotto & Clottey fan and ive seen plenty of Josh Clottey fights and i think his stamina is fine and i think he would give Cotto trouble im not sure if he would win but Clottey would make it tough for Cotto

Clottey is a good counter puncher with a tight defence who goes to the body very well with the left hook he is also fairly quick ,Cotto would not get rid of Clottey thats for sure cause Clottey cant take a good shot & he is a tough kid
