NOBODY TO BIG BALDOMEIR JUDAH MARGARTIO NOT MUCH...SAME CAN BE SAID FOR COTTO AS WELL.....JUST LIKE PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MAYWEATHER RECORD TOO. SO TO CRITISIE HIM AND SAY HE'S A HYBE JOB AINT COOL...YOUD HAVE TO SAY COTTO IS TO IF YOU ARE BASING IT ON RECORD. HE DIDNT GET DESTROYED BY MARGARITO ....COTTO DID! ITS A GOOD FIGHT WE DONT NEED TO BRING IT DOWN,AND ITS A GOOD MATCH UP....BOTH DESERVE WHAT THEY'RE GETTING.

cotto will win a wide ud..all clottey does is stand there with his guard up and he doesnt even hit hard..chico went the distance with him at his first fight at 147..yall call floyd feather fisted but he destroyed chico at 130 and castillo ko'd his ass at 135..seriously who has clottey beat???judah?? man cut the **** this guy is a nobody carring around a vacant belt

Cuz nobody could "tek his pounches" thats why.

yes he did my friend

he's not a beast, but he is a good, good fighter.......but 1-1 in his 2 biggest fights, so we'll see how good he really is come june....

Clottey is a monster dude you out your mind. He embarrassed Marg and stumbled him off that uppercut till his hand got ****ed, and beat Judah without getting stumbled twice and resorting to dirty tactics. Also that was a very impressive form of Judah that showed up that day, one that didn't gas out off his first 10 punches. He's very accurate and his defense is amazing.

Sometimes it seems like Clottey has a streetballer mentality in that winning seems secondary to him. He just seems that somestimes he is content to establish that he can beat an opponent, but doesnt want to put in the work to get the actual win (even though he usually does). Its like some of his wins would have come so much easier is he just tweeked his game in simple ways (sometimes just throwing 5-10 more punches a round).

He has always shown early that he has the class to beat an opponent and often easily, but he has trouble keeping it up and closing the deal once its been established.

just my opinion.

i can agree with this!

Clottey is a solid fighter that will bring it...he's got a good beard, is willing to trade....im gonna be rooting for Cotto but this fight should be a classic
