If Clottey gives up his title to fight Cotto.Is it still worth it for Cotto?

[jeg77]

I hope they can get around the mandatory bout and still fight for the titles!

i say so. to show that he still has it. to show that he is still the man and that he has what it takes. IMO he got this fight either way wheather its by knock out or decision. cotto wins.

Iagree people are agian under estimating Cotto .

At this point, belts mean nothing. Clottey is a good solid fighter to face on his way back to the top and will be a good notch on his record.

exactly. but the big problem is: is Cotto back on the level at which he was when stepping in the ring against Margo? dude was BAD... does he still have it? cuz the dude against Jennings wasn't the same man. Close but not the same...

[Pullcounter]

cotto already signed to fight clottey so worth it or not it doesn't matter

[Savino]

Of course it matters. Belts really mean nothin these days. all about been number 1 in the division champion or not.

It's no secret that the best fighters show up against other great fighters. Cotto did what he had to do against Jennings. The fight pretty much ended when everyone expected, but in general Cotto is a slow starter. By the 3rd round you can see him starting to open up on Jennings.

ok true, but look how he started against Margo and look how he started against Jennings. granted different strategies, but conditioning wise, his punches were fast as hell and crisp, moving well etcetera. but yeah.. that plaster breaks u down i guess..

Jennings was also moving. Not even moving, he was literally running. Margs was standing right in front of him, it's not hard to look good against Margarito in the early rounds, his pressure just wears you down in the later rounds.
