    If Cotto wins, it's likely by decision. Clottey is one tough fighter who's never been Knocked Out but tends to be very unlucky in some fights.

    If Clottey wins, it's likely by KO. Cotto has been KO'd even at Junior Welterweight but he has superior boxing skills.

      I don't know why people say that Clottey will stop Cotto since Clottey although he does pressure he does not hit that hard to stop Cotto. Clottey hasn't faced anyone as versatile as Cotto and to be honest Clottey didn't look that good beating a shot Zab Judah, and Cotto is more versatile than Zab Judah and has more heart than Judah. My guess is Cotto by Clear UD after having a great lead in the early rounds (1-4), facing some trouble in the mid rounds (5-6) and addapting and winning the rest of the rounds (7-12), don't get me wrong I'm not undermining Clottey but he hasn't fought anyone as good as Miguel Cotto, and we have yet seen Clottey's real stamina, because in the Judah fight he was slowly fading and in the Margarito fight he did finish it but didn't throw any punches (I know he had a broken thumb, but he could at least throw with the other hand).

        I agree for the most part, but Clottey was actually throwing more in the later rounds. It was Zab who was fading since he threw very little in the last round before it was stopped. In the Margarito fight, Clottey was still throwing but at a very little work rate. To his credit, he landed most of the punches he threw in the last few rounds.

        Clottey doesn't have the best stamina though.

            I got Cotto winning with his jab..setting up his left hook... right through the peek a boo all night...like he did with abulev...Clottey is the bigger man but he has also been known to fade... and I don't think he has the same pop as the sugary one does...

            And he's deffinetly not going to be hitting Cotto with 50 punches a round like Margarito did...Still Clottey is going to put the pressure to Miguel and that is the way to beat him...IF you can eat his punches which I think Clottey can...So we'll see...One things for sure...It's going to be one hell of a fight..See you there!

              I dont know why cats think Clottey will KO Cotto. Clotteys las t real KO was in 2003. His not that big of a puncher, and he doesnt throw enough to KO Cotto. Plus Cottos chin is very good, he has been Kd once and that from a pull down.

              Cotto will take it easy in the first half of the fight, bein methodical, jabbng Clottey and landing his left hoook to Clotteys ribs. In the second half Cotto will turn the jets on, hell be landing those body shots hard, by round 8 or 9 Clottey will be gassing out and fadng and then Cotto will be the one puutting the pressure. Clottey will have some moments in the fight but not enough to do any real damage. this will end up with Clottey fading really bad in the later rounds and posibbly getting stop do to accumulation of punishment. He wont get KOd with a head shot, but him KOd by body shots its not out of the picture.

                  Clottey's punch out put is not Margarito's, he fades late as well. Cotto will outbox him as he did the stronger Abdullaev.
