    Clottey BTW, is about 900 times more durable than Cotto. Josh Clottey simply gave up after he hit Cotto with his megaton shots and it did nothing to slow down Margarito. The Clottey fight, more than any other, is exactly why Miguel Cotto stands absolutely no chance whatsoever. I can only hope he's found a reason to back out. Top Rank is trying to sell Cotto and the hopes of a nation down the river for a few bucks.

        HaHA.. We've been through this Clottey broken hand business again recently and popular opinion says that was bull****. I don't need popular opinion though; I saw Clottey favoring his left hand 6-1 in favor of his right, and throwing his hooks with full power in the late rounds after he stopped pretending to be seriously injured. We've all seen hand injuries - they aren't accompanied by overuse of the injured hand afterward. Ever.

        The Mosley fight is turning into a Boxing MYTH. Watch the fight again only watch Mosley the entire fight instead of Cotto. Look how ****ed up and weak his **** was that night. I'm about 60-40 Judah over Mosley right now because of it. Real talk.

Paulie Malignaggi fought Cotto virtually correctly, possibly the only guy to do so thus far.
          oh yeah i forgot about my man paulie...thats why i like him...i doubt margarito though..... it hink he has the style to finally be the one to exploit cotto...but then i look back at how ****** he fought agasint williams...he could end up losing the fight because of himself and the ****** fighting my fight attitude...in this sport you gotta care for the points too...

            Hyp, I'm sick of arguing with these cats about Shane the night he fought Cotto. I wish I had your tech skills, primo. I would put together a package of clips showing how bad Shane's timing and execution was that night.

              If Strawberry Margarita gets behind that would be wonderful as far as I'm concerned. He can come on exactly like he did against Williams in the late rounds and crush Cotto into powder.

              It won't get that far though. Margarito is going to have Cotto out of there shockingly early for the masses. It's going to be a funeral, no **** talk.

                Yes, Cotto can handle intense pressure.

                The ability to handle pressure is much more mental than physical. You don't survive being hurt against Ricardo Torres without being relaxed and mentally strong.

                Also, what the hell is with you calling me a Cotto nut hugger Addison? If you remember I picked Mosley vs Cotto. I thought Mosley deserved the decision and I felt Mosley hurt Cotto on a few occasions.

                You make it seem like I am building Cotto up to be gods gift to man. I am not, I am simply making the point that Margarito is a truly sub par champion no matter what criteria you use.

                Cotto is not a world beater. He is a man with an incredible body punch. Above average boxing ability, and a questionable chin. Stop calling me a Cotto fanboy!

                  It wasn't really his timing that was so bad as his distance control. He had a HUGE reach advantage but he wanted to get inside on Cotto for some reason. He got into range of Cotto's jab which should not have happened.

                    Clotteys left hand was bleeding when they pulled off his glove. He genuinely ****ed his hand up good.

                      Cotto is intense pressure

                      Cotto doesnt have to worry about the pressure. Cotto IS INTEnSE PRESSURE. this is just gonna be another stepping stone just like Mosley and Gomez
