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

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!!!!!!!!!!

Ok,Clottey is stronger,has a better defence,a better jab and is more durable,that is why he is going to outlast Cotto and win on points!!Plus he is a better counterpuncher,there,are u happy!!Let me say again,I'm also a fan of Cotto,but in this particular fight,I think Clottey takes him,it's just MY oppinion and in no way am I underestimating Cotto!!

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!!

But my point is Clottey isn't the type of fighter to apply pressure. To have a chance at beating Cotto you have to throw a lot of punches and apply loads of pressure, but even then Cotto still knows how to adjust and land solid shots. Clottey's never been in there with a fighter with the overall skills of Cotto. Clottey has a good shell, but you cant compare him to Winky because Winky's been tested in bigger fights and knows how to go on the offensive when in need. From Clottey's last few fights it seems he holds out and waits for mistakes to happen. You CANNOT fight that way against Cotto who's one of the most patient and accurate punchers in the game today and has dealt with both speed fighters and power punchers.

Though you have to give Clottey the chance, I just believe Cotto and even Mosley are a level or 2 above him, and that's not a diss towards Clottey.

I would say it's worth it. Beating Clottey would be great to add to his resume. Of course the belt would make it better, but I think the opponent is the most important thing, and he's got a legitimate top notch fighter in Joshua Clottey. If he can look good beating Clottey, or perhaps knock him out, he will be right at the top once more.
