Question: What if Cotto loses?

[TRAVI$]

Clottey fought toe to toe with marg who knocked cotto out... soooo?

Exactly
Can you imagine the chin on the guy if Tony had loaded gloves then, there's a possibility.

Clottey fought toe to toe with marg who knocked cotto out... soooo?

I understand but does Clottey have the stamina and chin that Marg does? Just a question...

[D-Omonist]

I just think that he should beat a Clottey easily IMO. A lot of people think it will be close but I just see Cotto's speed and boxing on another level than Clottey.

I also don't think that Clottey is as strong or can take the pucch Marg can in order to fight that same type of fight.

I also see Cotto as the better boxer, but we don't know what gameplan Clottey has for this fight. If he goes a different route and wears Cotto down in the late rounds he can win.

It would be a huge setback for Cotto and could really have a mental effect on him.

And it's not out of the realm of possibility, Clottey is a beast, he cannot be hurt and he is a huge welterweight, I'm sure he'll weigh in the ring around 170-180 pounds. He's similar to Margarito in many ways.

However the main difference is he goes into that peek-a-boo defense for long periods of time, during which I see Cotto boxing well and winning rounds. I'll go on record saying Cotto wins 7-5. However I would not be shocked at all if Clottey finishes him off late when cotto starts slowing down.

Clottey has been the toughest matchup at WW for a while
If Cotto loses badly, he won't be fighting any of the tops names unless he can redeem himself by fighting his way back up the rankings, maybe a fight with Berto?
Saying that, Mosley may be interested in a rematch.

Probably not. If he loses I doubt Mosley would be interested in fighting a man 1-2 in his last three fights.

I think he has good enough to stamina... he doesnt throw 1000 punches like marg so its too hard to answer that question... but he went toe to toe punch for punch for about 5 rounds before he hurt his hand... and was pretty much winning those rounds IMO...

Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. Cotto doesn't do to good against boxers that can take his punch.

Clottey ha s a better chin than Cotto, and I doubt Clottey would hbe hurt from anything Mosley had to offer. What makes this fight intriguing is the fact that both fighters slow down later in fights, and it will show us what they are made of in the championship rounds.

[MANGLER]

If he loses closely on points there'd likely be a rematch. If he got dominated or KO'd, he'd be in deep **** tho. Clottey would have leverage for a SSM fight wit a Cotto victory, and Cotto would be at the back of the line. And of course he'd have no ****in excuse this time either.

[TRAVI$]

I honestly believe if Cotto fails to attack the body, like he did against Tony, theres a big risk he'll get stopped.
