If Margarito couldn't ko a one-handed Clotty what in hell makes you think Cotto can?

For Christ sakes, Cotto was stunned numerous times against Judah; a guy Joshua utterly destroyed without even breaking a sweat. I understand there a lot of irrational people picking Cotto due to nationalistic pride, but if Margarito couldn't even take out a one handed Joshua with the same pressure he applied to make Cotto quit then what makes people think that he can somehow out box or drop Joshua? Please explain Cotto fans.

Different style match up.

I think Punch for Punch Cotto's got a more solid and accurate punch than Margarito. Clottey is a hell of a fighter, but none of us know how Clottey is going to receive Cotto's punches.

With that logic I could say look what Cotto did to Zab and what Clottey did to Zab. But in reality, it's not a fair judgement on either guy when comparing who did what to them prior...that's why they're fighting.

Cotto has absolutley NO chance of a KO. The only way it happeneds is if the weight has caught up to Clottey and he starts looking the way that Oscar looked against Pac but I doubt that happeneds.

Cotto, Cotto, Cotto

Cotto doesnt hit harder then Margarito with plaster and people are crazy if they think that Margarito used it against Cotto but not Clottey. I agree with the different styles stuff but Clottey just is a different type guy. He's not going to get KO by anyone who isnt a MW. He's just too hard and he's big on top of that

I mean, you can't say Cotto has absolutely no chance. Neither have fought each other or have taken each other's shots. Is it out of the question for Cotto to land a hard body shot to Clottey and him be very affected by it? When was the last time we saw Clottey against a puncher like Cotto as of recent?

I think this whole Clottey is big is sorta taken out of context. He doesn't fight like he's ever the bigger guy in the ring in the sense of putting that type of inescapable pressure.

i've been saying all along that cotto will destry clottey brutally in 10 rounds or less...it will be a very one-sided affair.

**Jayseen** · 04-22-2009, 07:28 PM

I wonder why people say he's got no chance, remember he's still one of the best punchers in the WW and only Great boxers have been able to last full 12 rounds against him...To say he's got NO chance sounds ****** to me

When did Margacheato become a better body-puncher then Cotto? Even if he did use plaster against Clottey, the **** Margarito has better body punching skills then cotto.

Honestly, I think Clottey's gonna hang in there. But the notion that Cotto has nothing to hurt Clottey with is a bit silly if you ask me. Cotto's one of the hardest hitting WWs right now. Clottey isn't this offensive maniac nor is he this feared puncher more than him having a tough style to fight or look good against.

Most of the people who are picking Clottey have no idea how he'll win and base it off Cotto's "possible" mistakes or "mentally not being prepared".

If Margarito couldn't ko a one-handed Clotty what in hell makes you think Cotto can?
