it's possible...

but margo is a pretty good body puncher (as cotto should know) and clottey was able to block most of his body shots.

True, Clottey protected his body well but Cotto's hands are alot faster than Margarito's. Judah was getting through with shots although Judah's hands are very quick. I don't see Clottey being stopped but I think he'll lose a UD.

Clottey has a tough armor of skin like Mosely. Clottey hasn't felt body shots like Cotto's and Cotto hasn't dealt with fast/sharp hands like Clottey's.. its gonna be a fun fight to watch!

Clottey protects himself well in close. And he's a very big WW. He'll be able to absorb Cotto's body blows better than anybody Cotto has faced imo. I don't see his body attack doin much against Clottey.

CLOTTEY HAS GOOD D BUT HE IS GONNA FACE COTTO'S BODY ATTACK YOU CAN DEF COUNT ON THAT . MC LEARNED IN THE MARG FIGHT THAT HE NEEDS TO STAY BUSY ON THE BODY.

I don't think some one of Clottey's caliber, especially his defense, would be ****** enough to not pay attention to Cotto's body attack because I think that is the only chance Cotto has IMO, Clottey is a big WW and I think Cotto will be discouraged to find out that he can't hurt Clottey like he does everone else.

Nutthuggery at it's best.

Good point. I think that, along with Cotto's boxing ability, will ultimately tell the tale of the fight. Cotto by UD.
