    Clottey has a triple left hook attack to the head and body that Cotto has never seen before.

      Clottey has sick defense, a good chin, and is a big WW who can stand up to Cotto's body attack better than other guys. Not an easy task for Cotto at all.

        Cotto is going to have to prepare for 12 rounds of hard BOXING against Clottey. The probability of him ending the fight early is slim to none. It's going to be a good fight for sure. One of the best this year.

          It will be a tough fight...Bottom line Cotto fan or not you have to respect the man for taking on all fighters, he has fought a who's who at welter and you must respect that win or lose.

            Clottey is a difensive fighter his ofense is created off his difense he is not that really agrasive. He is slow puncher and his difensive flaws make it easy to get to the body which is Cotto strong point.The fighters that give Cotto problems are the real big pressure fighters.If Clottey where to put pressure on Cotto It wouldnt make no difrence because I dont think he his that big. I have Cotto winning by KO in the late rounds

              One interesting thing about Joshua Clottey is that he does this weird thing where he lunges in with the right hand and that, i think, will give Cotto a couple problems. I dont really see Cotto hurting Clottey at all. Like everyone pointed out in here is that Cotto's best shot at beating Clottey is body pounches. I dont think Cotto could tek Clottey's punches.

              Anyway if Clottey was smart he know he should pressure on Cotto.

              Eh....

                  I think Clottey will expect a body attack and will be prepared for it. He has a good chin but I still see Cotto hurting him, though. This will be an intersting fight. I like both fighters and I don't know who to root for...

                    Will Margarito ever recover from the Mosley beatdown??

                    Cotto is a bigger step up fro Clottey than Clottey is for Cotto.



                    Cotto wins via UD.

                      Cotto should take this, but its gonna be a huge test for him. Size is a big factor in this fight, and i wont be surprised if Clottey weighs in fight night the size of a SMW, while cotto will be around 10-15 pounds lighter then him. thats around about 2 weight classes!
