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

[HK45]

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..

You can't compare the two Jennings was on his bike and Plasterito was coming foward. Cotto is very patient fighter he went in with Jennings took his time, tracked him down and when it was time took him out.

Anyways I think the title made it a whole lot sweeter for Cotto and it was a step in the way to unifying the titles. The IBF is really ****ing up if they make Clottey vacate the belt. It's time to make those belts be worth something again.

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.

the PLASTER wears you down, yea. this is the same Cotto that stood against Mosley, and looked marvelous. and cotto moved against mosley and margo. against Judah he was also moving, but not out of the way or jabs, he was just creating angles to punch. same with Gomez, just throw good body shots from different angles. good fighter.. hehehe (yeah i'm a cotto fan, so marg's not one of my favorites)

Nope,without the belt Clottey is high risk,low reward!!Its amazing how people try to say Cotto is being underestimated because they pick Clottey in this fight,Clottey is a bad matchup for any WW superstar,he has the talent to beat any of them,if they choose to fight him,as a fan of the sport,choosing Clottey is not underestimating Cotto,it's just my belief that Clottey has the tools to pull off the upset,it's 1 thing to be a fan and another to be a biased fan!!

True Much harder to hit a moving target but i think he'll be tentative in the opening rounds but fall right in to place , plus Clottey isnt a fast starter.

Hell yea it is. **** the belts, this **** is about status. If Cotto beats Clottey, he's faced all the top WW's and only lost once. This is the only fight that made sense for him while he's waitin for a SSM rematch. SSM basically has to fight the winner of this one if it don't go to an immediate rematch.

But the thing is how many top quality fighters has Clottey faced to where Cotto is going to have a ****load of trouble? When was the last time Clottey KO'd somebody worth mentioning? The sole reason why people are underestimating Cotto is because of how he lost to Margarito. History has shown (recently) that the triangle theory doesn't work most of the time.

Everyone who's sayin Clottey wins hasn't given any legit factor or reasoning to how Clottey would beat Cotto much less KO him.

No one is underestimating Cotto,he is 1 of the few ww's that will fight anyone!!What my point is,is simply,u should not say anyone is underestimating him because they pick Clottey,Margarito is a cheater,it seems almost certain he cheated against Cotto in that fight,because before Cintron he was never known as a power puncher!!

I have seen a few of Clottey's fights and I compare him a lot to Winky,in the way that he fights,while there are fighters like Cotto who will destroy overmatched opponents,Clottey would fight down to his opponents level and be content just to win!!But his high guard and yes he does come forward behind it and land counterpunches and his overall strenght,combined with his solid jab and monster chin gives any elite WW who fights him fits,the difference between Cotto and Clottey is Cotto is a boxing superstar,while Clottey is highly avoided,props to Cotto for taking the fight,but I think Clottey will grind out a working mans decision against him!!Clottey is not soft like Quintana and Judah,he is a legite ww and has a chance against any ww elite because he too,is elite!!

[ИATAS]

That is such bull****. I'm sure that Belt was a pretty damn important factor for Cotto taking the fight, uh unifying the division is pretty fuckin important. Such bull****. I mean he could have gone after Berto or whoever else has a belt. Weak sauce by the IBF, fuck them.

I'm glad the fight is still happening as a fan of course, but this really should be a unification bout. It's absolutely a disgrace that it isn't. 147 needs to have a clear champion, and although this will clear that up a bit as to who is the best, but the belts will be even more scattered.

All of that **** that you typed and you didnt said how Clottey will beat Cotto.
And Clottey is no elite.

Clotteys deficiencies plays right into Cottos strengths, but Cotto deficiencies doesnt play quite into Clotteys StrengthS!!!!!!!!!!
