    Cotto still continues to fight the best even after a harsh defeat. What can you say about this warrior? But if Clottey is forced to vacate the IBF that's some BS. IBF must not want unification or something.

      If that the case, Cotto will not fight Clottey. I bet Cotto will make sure that Clotteys belt will be on the line, if not teyll be no fight!!!!!

      I mean WTF Cotto will win fighting Clottey then? No money, No belt

            It gives him a win over another top welterweight, he would also prove some people wrong about him not being able to deal with the bigger welterweights, he'll still have his belt, and it'll make the calls for a rematch with Mosley even louder, which would mean big bucks.

                I'd be really surprised if HBO doesn't pick this up.

                  Great matchup. Even greater opportunity for Clottey, glad to see him finally get a shot.

                    Even if you dislike Cotto because of some of his fans you have to love the guy wanting to fight anyone and the very best. Haters say he only fights for vacated titles but name a top fighter Cotto has not fought when campaigning at 140/147?

                    The only guy he hasn't fought is FM Jr. and that's because when he was "ready" boxing wise FM decided to retire.

                      The IBF wouldnt strip Clottey because his mandatory Isaac Hlwhateverisnameis doesnt want the fight, His Team are not keen on him taking on Clottey they prefer him fighting little fighter/fighting in south africa.

                      Thats why clottey was so frustrated...
