Hopefully Clottey KO's Judah so Clottey can finally get a big fight against a big name fighter (like Cotto).
    really??? so "destroying" a 135 lb pound forced to moved up two weight classes because he could no longer make weight is a great accomplishment now??? Clottey is a good fighter who for some reason gets hyped out of this world. He couldnt even knock out a bum in Alvarez and people act like he is on the top tier. Clottey's story to make it where he is now is amazing, one of the best, Clottey as a boxer, top ten but no where near the elite, just my thoughts.

      if cotto wins against margarito i think thats a good fight...it helps unify the titles at 147 which is a good thing to start to establish the elite top fighter.

      this is a good decision for cotto/clottey and everyone else...especially the fans.

      great news.

        This would be a pretty good fight rather see Cotto-Williams though

          The winner of Cotto Margarito should fight Williams to determine the undisputed WW champ of the world...
          then PBF should come out of retirement and fight that winner... just wishful thinking but it would be a good pitch though Former WW/P4P king vs current WW king

            Clottey v Cotto sounds good, but it if Cotto wins, DLH might turn away from Pac and wanna fight him instead.

              Cotto vs Clottey

              Why do we sit here and ignore Paul Williams. If Cotto beats Margarita what does that mean. that means he beat the same guy who lost to Williams. The winner should fight Williams. I think A.M. would fight him again if he wins but Cotto would not. But we will just excuse him cause he beat a washed up Judah and an old Mosley. Please.

                I rather see the winner fight Williams but once again we have the same problem with promoters not getting along and not wanting to match their fighters.

                  Of course he should fight Williams, but let's look at this realistically. In boxing, the logic of who should fight who rarely results in an actual fight at the right time.

                  The only way Cotto takes a big, big fight immediately after this Saturday (and of course, that's IF he wins--a big IF) is for DLH. Saturday night is going to take a lot out of both guys. The DLH money is worth taking another big, tough fight right away, but there is ZERO chance that Cotto would turn around after this weekend and fight Paul Williams next. Arum is too smart for that, Cotto will need time off, then a 'breather' opponent, although Clottey is by no means an easy fight. But at the same time, he's not a brutal opponent either

                  Oh, and Cotto and Clottey are both Top Rank guys, like Cotto and Margarito, so it's an easy fight to make (Cotto-Williams will be a tough fight to make, given the recent troubles Arum has had making fights with Goosen--see the Pavlik-Williams fallout, for example).

                  So IF Cotto wins (again, a big IF...), it's either DLH or Clottey, if DLH decides to fight Pac instead. I'd personally MUCH rather see DLH fight Cotto...

                    Everyone is talking about paul williams, he is like the winky wright of the 147's, everyone knows hes good but noone wants to fight him cause of the money and the name, and that fact that the dude is a middleweight and is fighting in at ww division.I think that the winner should get clottey or judah they would deserve it more!!

How about a rematch if Super Zab beats this Clottey. or let me say another match Margarito vs Super Zab.... because its to early to say that Margarito is already defeated by Cotto.. still very far from now. we better wait after july 26 fight.
                      And if ever Cotto prevails and also to Zab hope there will be a rematch of this two. A sweet revenge from Super Zab because he was beaten very badly by 2 low blows from cotto.
                      ???WTF?? Dude do you honestly think that because of that 1 low blow(the 1st so called lowblo was right on the belt) thats the reason Zab got his ass whooped!? Dude get a fkg clue and stop singing the same song.
