    i'm not talking triangle theory. I'm not trying to say clottey will beat cotto, as a matter of fact, i think cotto will beat clottey; but if someone gets stopped in this fight more than likely it will be cotto.
    clottey fades down the stretch too, no?

      (Mark my words)

      If Cotto beats Clottley by an impressive KO/UD you bess believe "Money May" won't be calling Cotto out no time soon.

      That's the fight the world wants to see but I don't think "Money May" would want nunna Cotto..


      He'll pop up with all those excuses, you need to drive a bentley, you don't own a strip club, etc, etc..

      it only took 2 pages for someone to mention floyd..jesus.......By the way i think clottey is a good fighter but to call him a beast is funny to me not like he fights like kirkland or hagler where they put pressure and go balls out

        Can't argue with that.

        Cotto fought the wrong fight...Could have been a cake walk...****** pride wouldn't let him clinch...but in the end he had to take those knees and quit...Kinda Ironic.

        Body attack...Clinching at the right moment...and staying off the ropes...The fights a cake walk.


        I do hope he learns from his mistakes.

        That being said...Clottey fades down the stretch and is no where near as active as Cotto during the earlier rounds...So stamina wise I will have to give the edge to Cotto...Cause Clottey really doesn't have as good a work rate...even though they both have the tendency to gas late.

        Power I give to Cotto as well even though he is the smaller man he's got that thudding power that made Margs look Chinese after there fight...and lets not forget that Clottey couldn't put down Chico at 147 and we all know Chico could get rocked...GBTD.

        I think if he lands that left to the body on the high guard it could put Clottey down late.

        I also think in the early rounds Clottey could possibly stun Cotto with an upper...Stun but not enough to put him down or stop...but you never know.

        This is going to be a Great fight....If Cotto can go 2 of 3 against Mosley, Margs and Clottey.

        I'd say that's the best resume in the WW division.

            agree on all points

            That being said...Clottey fades down the stretch and is no where near as active as Cotto during the earlier rounds...So stamina wise I will have to give the edge to Cotto...Cause Clottey really doesn't have as good a work rate...even though they both have the tendency to gas late.
            yea, but clottey never quit and he is more economical with his punches.

            Power I give to Cotto as well even though he is the smaller man he's got that thudding power that made Margs look Chinese after there fight...and lets not forget that Clottey couldn't put down Chico at 147 and we all know Chico could get rocked...GBTD.
            yea cotto got the edge in power, but i don't think clottey's ever been stopped so its a wash.

            I think if he lands that left to the body on the high guard it could put Clottey down late.
            its possible... or since clottey knows cotto likes to hook to the body, he will anticipate it and block it. its all about execution.

            I also think in the early rounds Clottey could possibly stun Cotto with an upper...Stun but not enough to put him down or stop...but you never know.
            actually I see cotto taking all the earlier rounds

            This is going to be a Great fight....If Cotto can go 2 of 3 against Mosley, Margs and Clottey.

            I'd say that's the best resume in the WW division.
            can't knock that, but that doesn't make cotto #1 until he rematches mosley

            yes, but he also never quit like cotto. also, clottey's style is more economical.

              People overrates Clottey because, they want Cotto to lose or they still have the memory of MArgarito beating Cotto.

              CLottey will be tough do to styles, but Cotto got this, UD or late TKO.

              Clottey will look coimpetitive for the first 4 rounds, after that it will be all Cotto!!!!!!!!

                nah, cotto will dominate the early rounds w/ his speed, then clottey will come on late because cotto will gas, but because he doesn't have enough power, cotto will salvage a decision victory.

                    Cottos not the only one with stamina issues and in the marg fight he had stamina issues because he was moving so much and had a broken nose FROM ALL THE PLASTER AND YES I SAID IT PULLCOUNTER. He wont have to fight like he did in the margarito fight at all so he doesnt get as tired and clottey gets gassed early .

                      Clottey gassed out worst than Cotto. After 6 rounds rounds he is gassed out.

                      Clottey will try and pull a Margarito on Cotto, and he will win 2 of the first 4 rounds, after that, hell be tire as ****, and he will get his ass handed to him by Cotto!!!!!!!
