If Cotto KO's/TKO's Joshua Clottey...

More than impressed, I'll be quite shocked if Cotto gets a stoppage.

Same. I wouldn't expect Clottey to be dropped for good.

Margarito won't fight Cotto until at least a year has passed, that is a given. If he defeats Clottey, next in line will be the winner of Pacquiao-Hatton followed by Mosley.

True, Clottey is a warrior, he didn't quit against Margarito despite breaking his hands. A stoppage would be shocking IMO, but thats partly because Clottey is a tough fight for anyone in the WW division.

I wouldnt pre say .say that i will be impress with Cotto if he kos/or tkos Clottey but it will be a very good win.And why no one is giving Cotto props for beating Mosley??Like hes not in the elite level or that he is not that good enough!!well he is one of the best and he has faced better quality oponents than Clottey so it will be the other way around i will be impress with Clottey if he stops Cotto!!!

I will be really impressed because I think Clottey has a great chin and can take it well to the body. I will be favouring Cotto as usual, but I think Clottey is a very good fighter and has a good chance. Again props to Cotto for taking this fight, should he win I see a Margarito fight in Puerto Rico, and after he beats Margarito bring on Pacquiao-Hatton winner or Williams should he beat a few names.

Prediction: Cotto by UD

I like Cotto, he's a great fighter and I love to see him fight.. But stopping Clottey.. Nah, not a chance..

I would not be all that suprised if Cotto stopped Clottey. Zab really was stinging Clottey to the midsection and it was not really a sustained attack. This is one of the reason I like Cotto in this fight. Clottey has also been known to fade badly in fights without getting attacked to the body with malice so it is not beyond the realm of possibilty. I also believe that Clottey is a front runner, so I believe he will give up under the right circumstances.

With all that said it is a solid fight, if Cotto wins he proves that he is back at the top level. I am kind of doubtful about Clottey at the world class level so this fight is a huge oppurtunity to prove he is truly world class. Both fighters have a lot to prove and that usually makes for a good fight.

Aslong as Cotto is at where he needs to be mentally, I believe he will win. Clottey's chances are that he could possibly effect Cotto's mental stability, as Cotto has not had a stiff mental test (in the ring) since the Margarito fight (so it is hard to say how he will respond to that situation).

if cotto wins he should fight mosley; not the winner of hatton/pacquiao..winner of hatton/pacquiao should fight juan manuel marquez

If Cotto KO's/TKO's Joshua Clottey...
