    he went 12 rounds against margo and cotto quit against marg.


    he went 12 rounds against margo


    he cant fight if he promoter doesnt get him fights


    he's got more credibility than berto.
    besides margarito's win over cotto which he was losing like most of his fights what has he done. margarito is overrated look at how bad shane beat him he didn't win a single round.
    margarito is no where near as good a boxer as collazo is but clottey gets all the credit in the world for going 12 rounds with a man that lacks alot of boxing skills and was supposedly injured comin into the fight
    clottey is a grown man and if he wants fights he needs to make it happen even if it means gettin a new promoter, paul williams fights all the time even if he can't get the fights he wants he still fights thats how he got the quintanna fight he had a set date a bunch of fighters didn't want to fight him and eventually quintanna steped up to the plate

      How does that make him green? Your changing the subject. He shouldn't have fought for a title if eh wasn't ready to fight other champions. Like it or not, he's in their league now.
      jennings had a belt, was he in cotto's league??? hell no!!!!

      Im not talking about your doubts, I said BERTO LEARNED, and BERTO proved to himself. Again, your changing the subject.
      how do you know berto learned? cause he said it? how about he rematch collazo and whup his ass... then i'll believe it.

      How do we already know Cotto can take Berto's shots? Berto has explosive power and is very fast, he's deffinately capable of hurting Cotto. If you think Cotto can go in and walk through Berto's power I think your wrong.
      cause cotto has taken mosley's best shots and berto dont punch as hard as mosley.

      Yes he did beat them all. You just asked about when hes been hurt with uppercuts and I provided examples.
      but in everyone of your examples cotto won... so it's irrelevant.

      2 years? Berto should have waited to get that belt then because like I said before, like it or not he's in the champion's league now.
      just cause you got a belt dont mean youre in the champion's league... was jennings in cotto's league?

      He's a world champion, we shouldn't hear he can't fight this or that guy for 2 years because he's green.
      yes we should because he's a paper champ... he's not in the same league

      HBO and DiBella have built him up against better and better opposition. Got him a title, beat a very tough former champ, now he can fight another champ.
      how about he beat that tough former champ in a rematch first?
      He steps up once and doesn't have to step up again?
      he barely beat collazo. I dont call that stepping up.

      He had a tough fight, yea but he got the win, it was a learning experience, and nmow he can keep moving forward, not backward that makes no sense.
      he's not moving backward, he's moving sideways... berto and collazo still have unfinished business

      Cotto fighting Berto is a unification fight between two of the best welterweights, that's not an easy fight by any means for either guy.
      the 2 best weltherweights are mosley and cotto

          Are you comparing Floyd Mayweather Jr to Andre Berto? I'm not even going to touch that. OVER & OUT.

            regardless he still beat the ***** out of cotto

            margarito is no where near as good a boxer as collazo is but clottey gets all the credit in the world for going 12 rounds with a man that lacks alot of boxing skills and was supposedly injured comin into the fight
            at the end of the day margo made cotto quit. clottey was competitive with margo. that means clottey > collazo.

            clottey is a grown man and if he wants fights he needs to make it happen even if it means gettin a new promoter, paul williams fights all the time even if he can't get the fights he wants he still fights thats how he got the quintanna fight he had a set date a bunch of fighters didn't want to fight him and eventually quintanna steped up to the plate
            clottey trying to make a fight against cotto. this can be easily settled if cotto fight clottey.

              I wilol have to agree again.

              I think Clottey is the more experienced and more polished of the 2. But he havent done ****.

              Your point about Williams is very good!!!!!!!!

                  read better, i said financial bracket, not league.

                      cotto beating a green undefeated fighter means absolutely nothing
