    As far as Cotto's stamina, I think it's fine. When you get hit with bricks, even Chuck Norris is gonna get winded. I've seen no signs prior that Cotto gasses out. Some said he did against Mosley, but he managed to still land the flusher shots on Mosley and kept it movin.

    It'll be a completely different fight from the Margarito Cotto fight. Clottey can't and won't fight Margarito's style to beat Cotto.
    Exactly

    i see this fight looking like Cotto-Abdullaev!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        clottey peak-a-boo defense is gonna blunt most of cotto's offense. clottey just got to stay close and force cotto to the ropes and let cotto tire himself out throwing combos.

        if cotto learns from his mistake and potshots, it might be a different story though, as it will be a boring cat and mouse affair.
        Like I said before the plaster was the difference on that fight.

        And Cotto is a smart fighter, he is not going to be roped and doped by Clottey. Clottey has good defense to the head but his body is there and his style will allow Cotto to exploit Clotteys body.

            Cotto by ko

            I think this is going to be a good fight if it goes down...imo cottos movement and better skill will be the big factor in the outcome...clottey is a granite chin toe to toe type of guy...ill say cotto by 10th rd stoppage

              Cotto by UD. This would be a very entertaining fight, but I don't see Clottey's offensive game overwhelming Cotto as "manos de yeso" Margarito did.

                  Exactly, nobody can prove Margarito cheated in the cotto fight. That's just everyone's excuse for Cotto losing.

                    I'm amazed, people don't realize Clottey is much stronger than Cotto, if someone will be on his hills that night it should be Cotto, not Clottey. It will be a good fight until one of them tires. Interested in this one, the hype will be great.

                      I'm a big fan of both guys but I think Cotto would win by decision.
