Joshua Clottey Plans To Bring The Fight To Miguel Cotto

[Da Hammer]

Man i got Cotto in this fight but i cant say i'm too confident. If Clottey truly makes it a priority of his to be aggressive all fight long then i would actually favor Clottey to win because of how strong he is and his defense. This fight i have no doubt is gonna end up a decision for either fighter so Clottey must bring it every round because you know Cotto will be aggressive all fight long and stealings rounds will be a key to this fight!

IF it happens, I'll bet all my points on Cotto. (even though there aren't many).

Do you guys know the story of Hannibal and the promise he made his dying
father to conquer Rome and burn it down to the ground? Hannibal was a powerful, dangerous man, his army killed over 70,000 soldiers in like 7 hours. He had Rome on the ropes because of his fierce nature and warrior instincts but for all that power he had, he NEVER could uphold his promise to his father of burning Rome to the ground. He won the battle but didn't win the war. My point being is that in the ring it pays to be a strategic, technician to out think your opponent when he can possibly over power you and that's what Rome did to Hannibal.

That's the thing that makes Floyd Mayweather Jr different from the rest of these guys because he uses his head to win in any situation. Doesn't matter if he is not as strong as his opponent or as big the point is he is smarter than them and that's what wins fights, Strategy and being ahead of your opposition in the ring. People tend to think it is power but they are wrong.

Miguel Cotto had all the power and skill advantage over Antonio Margarito but couldn't beat him because he didn't have the smarts to out think Margarito and that's why Margarito's power and aggression trumped Cotto's. There is NO way on in HELL that I would believe that someone as gifted as PBF who fought and beat a bigger De La Hoya, who is/was a better fighter than Margarito was/is scared of someone as limited and predictable as Antonio Margarito.

Any fighter with above average boxing skill & can adapt to pressure and box can whip Margarito and we witnessed it twice from Williams and Mosley. You guys need to stop throwing around that Floyd ducked these guys because clearly that is false. Cotto wasn't ready at 140, Mosley ducked him Twice, Margarito was/is overrated that had nothing to offer the P4P best. If I could see someone out there that could beat Floyd I would say it but I don't see them so
I have to keep speaking the truth. Cotto NO WAY, he NEVER called out PBF.

im wit u! but u have 2 remember that on this site there are tooo many bias haters that know da truth but wont speak it...

IF Cotto comes well trained than I can see him beating Clottey. Clottey gasses too much too fast. He barely made it to the end of his 1 side beating of Corrales.

ON a second note I feel that miguel Cotto has boxing skills that compare to Zab Judah only Cotto packs way more of a punch. If Zab had any zing in his hands he wouldve beaten clottey, He did have em hurt noticeably once with an uppercut in the 8th.

I feel Clottey protects his head too much leaving open his body which is what falls into cottos favorable body work.

Clottey has to rely on his uppercuts which Cotto often takes to the dome since he leans in with his head frequently.

I got Cotto with a UD

Zab hits way harder than Cotto! Zab jus didnt land that much, thats da differance. people sleep on Clottey, Clottey got a good chin & a decent defense. take it from an unbias rican(me) i think Clottey wins this...but Cotto has a great body shot...!

[dondi330]

this is a good fight and but in no way does cotto beating clottey make cotto #1... the only way for cotto to become #1 is to beat mosley

????????????????????again?

[buckdacious]

????????????????????again?

DUHHHH. Mosley smashed the guy that smashed Cotto, thats why. I thought the first fight was a draw anyways, not like Cotto won decisivley or anything. but I dont see Cotto winning, so its Mosley-Clottey for undisputed WW king!!

[QUOTE=Brassangel;4891086]It was doing worse when he was there, because he never fought anyone in the division who was significant. He was a coward who believed that money made the fighter, not legacy, not great fights, not the heart to take on anyone.

Not as cowardly as loading gloves like one fighter I know of. How much "heart" does that take?

[..WaRSpencE..]

Miguel cotto will take him down in round 9

Co-Sign!!..

Cotto for the T/KO!!...
