How?..

I pick Clottey. Clottey is just a beast. Clottey is dangrous. A vicious puncher with winky type defense. Thats scary! Btw did you see the Clottey vs Margarito fight before he broke his hand??

Yes the triple and quadruple hooks was crazy!!...

But to me that only proves Margaritos lack speed..lol..

I believe Cotto could've landed equally but Cotto was respecting Margarito's power and ability...

Style-wise I see Cotto landing at will to the body making Clottey eventually drop that gaurd some and start landing bombs to the head..

Judah was getting in there in the later rounds right before the stoppage..so that only leads me to believe that Cotto would start landing at will..as the rounds go on..ending in a UD

You could be right. This is a fight I'd like to see. Clottey currently one of my favotite fighters right now. I just wish his hand would heal cuz its messed up.

It's a dangerous fight for Cotto. He is very venerable to counter punches, & that's what Clottey does the most. I can see Cotto gaining a decision since Clottey tires at times during the later rounds. But Clottey could KO him or more than likely hurt him if Cotto gets careless. It would be a hell of a fight though!

I pick Cotto UD. I don't think Cotto "can tek" Clottey's punches but Clottey's too tentative so he wouldn't throw that many punches.

I agree!

Very interesting matchup. Cotto wins it if he attacks the body something that he wasnt able to do against Margarito. Cotto is faster and wouldnt wear down against Clottey because Clottey cant apply the kind of pressure on him that Margarito did. Cotto wins by unanimous decision in a good fight though

I can def respect that..

but I don't think Cotto's chin can be considered "iffy" or "questionable" anymore..he took alot of damage and some flush shots before taking a knee..

not sayin u stated that..but I've still been seeing that around here even after the Margarito fight..

Clottey is strong as **** tho and could catch Cotto flush to end it early..

Yeah Cotto's chin is somewhat solid enough to take punishment. Clottey doesn't have the constant workrate Margarito has, and he may have been worn out by Margarito's body work. He doesn't block his body much either, so I can see Cotto scoring downstairs & gaining that decision. If Clottey was to KD Cotto, it would probably be a counter punch. I am still not completely sure who would win though.
