    Cotto might not make it past Clottey

    Joshua Clottey is a huge Welterweight. Remember when he fought the late, Chico Corrales; he came into the fight weighting 170lbs! Cotto has never fought anyone that big. The only fighter close to that size that Cotto has faced was former Welterweight King, Antonio Margarito, and we all know what happened in that fight.

    Clottey's defense is practically impenetrable, his chin is as good as Tony's and he has one of the best jabs in the business. I see a very difficult night for Cotto when he steps in the ring against Joshua. Bad matchup for Miguel only one fight removed from the putasos he received in the Antonio Margarito fight.

      Clottey's body has never really been tested. Miguel will take on that task. Clottey also has mental issues when the fight isn't going his way.

        Clottey has a very good chance at pulling off an upset.

              i don't see how anyone could think either fighter could win this fight with ease im most looking forward to this fight more than any other.

                Not so much, fight could go either way. I'd give the slight edge to Cotto.

                  Exactly what I was thinking.

                    Yes it has. Gutierrez hit him with some savage bodyshots in their fight and his bodywork really is what kept him competitive in that fight. That fight is also part of the reason I think Cotto will beat Clottey. Cotto will be smart enough to **** the body when Clottey turtles up and takes time off.

                    You're right about the mental issues. He has shown tendencies or fouling and becoming sloppy when things are falling out of his favor.
