Joshua Clottey Plans To Bring The Fight To Miguel Cotto

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

I feel Cotto will win but I feel their is no chance he stops Clottey.

Clottey is as tough as they come.

Not picking on you but, people needs to stop talking out of their asses for a minute here. Instead of just saying, well CLottey is tough and have a very good defense and decent beard, thats why he aint getting KO, they should analize the style first. Simple Cotto is the best body puncher in the game, 1 of Clotteys deficiencies is he dont take body punches well, and he is open for body shots, do to his high guard. Clottey gasses put fast what body punches do? gasses you out. SO that means if Cotto hits Clottey enough to the body early hell have a big chance of KOing Clottey in the later rounds with body shots do to accumulation of punishment, and thats a high percentage.

So Cotto koing Clottey is more likely to happend than the opposite. Why? Becuase Clottey doesnt have KO power, and Cotto have a decent beard. Clotteys last KO past the 5th round was in 2003, he has never had a KO pass 6 rounds, and he have never KO any of the top opposition he have faced!!!!!!

"I fights who my peoples tells me to fights" is ducking.

Cotto ducked the **** outta' Paul Williams.

risking your record in exchange for 5 bucks isn't ducking if you have a decent amount of good opponents that can get you big money. williams and winky are the same: both say the are ducked, but what superstar is interested in fighting a boxer that doesn't bring money?

[fdotorres]

why would floyd fight margo when shane whupped that ass easily?

because he ducked him years ago, not now. not so hard to understand, is it?

Who is this idiot that is saying that Floyd backs up all his talk??? That guy talks so much **** and doesn't follow though. Let me tell you something, Floyd hasn't faced a prime fighter in their weight class since 2002.. everyone else is a retread, smaller fighter, garbage fighter, or over-the-hill fighter. He talks about taking chances but never does. All that talking he has done over the last 6-7 years is total bull****. If there was more space here I would list all the top fighters at 140, 147, and 154 that he ducked. That's why he is gayweather, bitchweather or what ever you want to call him.

How come no floyd nut lover answered my question about him fighting Paul williams yet, if williaims is so ducked and is the man.

This is the type of **** that kills me...You seriously going to be in for a shock come fight night...If Cotto is the best body puncher in the game...Why did he fail at attacking Margorito's body?

If a limited fighter in Margorito was able to take away Cotto's best punch what makes you think CLottey wont be able to do the same thing? I mean seriously out of Cotto past fight...what makes you think its going to be this easy as you're making it out to be.

And so what if he hasnt had a KO since 2003...KO's arent everything..Clottey does have some pop in his punches so your point is moot!

Do you think that the Floyd Mayweather Jr, Zab Judah was close? Zab won 5RDS? The only close fight that we can debate on is the first Castillo fight but again Floyd gave him a rematch, the one that supposedly beat him the first time. Why would Floyd fight a man again that he felt could possibly beat him? If he was a coward and ducked guys he would have took that gift win and ran with it but instead he showed that he could beat him.

On top of that Floyd was injured in the first fight and it was still close. Ducking the best guys? He fought the Champs at 147 at his time Judah/Baldomir to become the recognized 147 Champ? You mean to say that he didn't fight who YOU considered to be the best.

People rag on Baldomir but he is the guy who got Clottey so frustrated that Clottey head butted him & got disqualified. Then he went to upset Judah to become the recognized champ at Welter? I'm tired of you guys saying "He didn't fight the best" but in actuality he did, it just wasn't Cotto/Margarito/Williams at the time. If any of them held that Lineal title guaranteed Floyd would have got at em.

remember what Kostya did to Judah. zab was a natural 140 lb retread by the time floyd fought him. Who has Zab ever beat besides ole featherfist spinks?

Easy, margarito took Cottos body game out of the equation by leaving his face open, and with so willing target, Cotto forgot to go to the body, since it was so easy going to the head. Do you think Clottey will do the same as Margarito a leave his face open so COtto can T-off on him? thats right he aint going, so his body will be open for COttos left hooks all night.

Clottey has not Ko any top opposition, never, having a little pop, is not the same as KO power, and since he is not a volume puncher, he aint Koing Cotto.

Think first what are you going to say, before you make an ass of yourself

[socalrican01]

Floyd and Hatton aint ****. Cotto has too many advantages over Clottey!

Floyd has no punch power. Most dangerous fight he ever took was Zab Judah. DelaHoya could have beat him but he's got issues! Hatton will display his weak chin AGAIN when he gets knocked out by PacMan before the 7th. AND Cotto vs Clottey... will be great work for Cotto and Clottey will be frustrated catching punches all night. Cotto pitches a Shutout UD!!!!

First off you didnt own anybody so get the hell on with that bull****!

What I'm saying is that Clottey will not get hit with half of that **** Margorito...Thats a fact...You can sit here and tea bag Cotto's nuts all ya want...but the fact still remains was Cotto was beat down by a limited fighter in Margorito...What makes you think Clottey will sit back and let Cotto tee-off on him without returning some fire power?....And so what...WHO GIVES IF FUCK IF HE HASNT KO PEOPLE!(apparently you since you bring that pointless topic up)

Not to mention Cotto is open for the uppercut which Clottey throws a nice uppercut...

P.S just because you type a repsonse doesnt mean you own anything....You need to practice what you preach...You think before you speak!

Cotto vs Clottey, Good fight. Ill tell u why!

Cotto vs Clottey will be good because both styles compliment each other.I think that cotto will frustrate clottey with his speed and his power. Clottey is going to want to trade with cotto but cotto will get the better hand on that. Clottey has a nice straight right hand but that will leave him open for cotto's left hooks to the body and head. Clottey isnt really a knock out artist. Cotto couldn't get to margacheaters body because he was too tall and he had his elbows protecting his body. Cottos speed too will be hard for clottey. I think if Zab Judah didnt cut his eye he would of beat clottey. Cotto wins by a unanimous decision if Clottey doesnt get knocked out or stopped in the 10 or 11th round..oh and about mayweather jr. I love the way he boxes and I think hes a great fighter but he never ever ever Unified titles in any division that he held a belt for and I personally think that Cotto can beat mayweather and possibly knock mayweather out or his corner will stop it.
