Regardless of any facts or reason, the Clottey hype machine kicked into overdrive following his unanimous decision loss to Margarito. Cries of “He would have beaten Margarito if he was healthy” and the like went up. There were even preposterous claims that “Clottey would have knocked Margarito out,” despite all the fighters’ history to the contrary.

None of that would derail the “Clottey Express.” And even a veteran boxing writer and fan as the author got a bit taken with the hype leading into last night’s Clottey-Corrales tilt. As almost all other boxing media/fans, I expected Clottey to make short work of the long-in-the-tooth, ring-wise Corrales. That’s what the Clottey Hype told me would happen, and I had allowed myself to believe it, foolishly.

Ten rounds later, Clottey was, indeed, the victor. And in dominating fashion. But the reality fell far short of the hype. Let’s take a look at some facts and their corresponding conclusions from last night’s fight:

Fact #1 -> A 170 - 170! - lbs. Clottey could not knock out a guy who was stopped three times at weights of 135 or less.

Conclusion #1 -> Clottey is not a big puncher, and anyone who thinks he had a prayer of knocking out the never-once-down-in-his-career Margarito is fooling themselves, badly.
--

Fact #2 -> Chico had some good moments against Clottey, despite the fact that he was fighting at a weight two divisions higher than he had ever fought previously.

Conclusion #2 -> If Clottey had some ‘moments’ with Chico, Clottey is not ready for the elite welterweights of the world. No one jumps up two divisions and hangs around - in a brawling style, no less - unless the man they are fighting is not top-flight. Even the amazingly-talented Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never accomplished jumping two weight divisions in one fight and managing to brawl with an opponent and last the fight. Clottey is good, but he’s not elite, at least not yet.
--

Fact #3 -> Clottey is a middleweight fighting at Welterweight.

Conclusion #3 -> I was stunned he weighed 170. He’s looking like Cotto coming in 23 lbs. over the 147 limit. How long can he keep this up? Many of Margarito’s detractor’s say this about AM all the time. Well, now you Have a new target for your disgust - Joshua Clottey.

Well anyone can be beat. But I don't think anyone who thinks Marg will win, will do so via decision. They favor him for a KO more than anything. And he has a shot at it. Cotto for once will not be able to back Marg up. And he will have to utilize his defense more than he ever has. This becuase Marg will come forward in an all out blitz.

It's not even a good link, where you get this from some **** obscure forum.. I'm pretty busy right now get something credible and then we'll talk.

[Kobe Bryant]

Plus Cotto and Clottey are two different fighters. Different types of styles and different physical builds. And I don't think Cotto is as fast Clottey. Even though he looked like a blur against Gomez.
