He is a good inside fighter with quick hands and descent power. He doesn't bring anything new to the table necessarily but he is a big challenge for Cotto.
I notice how people mention he isn't active enough based on the Judah fight(maybe the Margarito fight too) but I don't think he respected Judah too much and allowed him to punch himself out. I think his stamina will be enough to keep up with Cotto, but I think Cotto's boxing ability is superior and will earn him a UD.

Why do think Clottey will be TKO'd?
Yes, thats what I think as well, Cotto is very very skilled in pretty much everything, except not taking uppercuts, Clottey is not a bad fighter but i just dont see him outpointing Cotto.
Those who think Cotto wins by TKO are not being realistic. If Cotto wins, it's going to be by Decision.
To answer the TS question, Clottey is physically stronger than both Mosley and Margarito and he brings better defense. Clottey also has a real nasty uppercut that Cotto should try his best to avoid.
Clottey has a good uppercut. Mosley and Margarito had success with that punch.
Add Clottey's unusual style,he pressures without throwing many punches,it's like he keeps coming forward behind his guard making fighters constantly work,but it gets discouraging when u can't hurt him,plus Clottey has a better jab and if Clottey ramps up his punch output it's over sooner!!!

So Cotto cant Ko Clottey now, Why. If Margarito got his chin cracked so can Clottey.
But people are going with TKO, because of accumulation of punishment, and Cotto have already proved, that he can sstop people with Body shots.
