Clottey is a strong boxer/pressure fighter and he has not only fast but hard punches, and that will be what will get to Cotto who has tired late in fights and has shown noticeable vulnerabilities. Actually i would say that there's not a huge difference in power between Clottey and Corley who rocked Cotto.

I don't see how Cotto will deal with him not being able to land consistently, Clottey MAY be the best defensive fighter that Miguel will fight. That, i think will frustrate him and force him to take more chances inside, where Clottey is much more faster and accurate.

TWO things i think there is a big difference in power between Clottey and Corley in CLOTTEYS favour! But to be fair to Miguel he was drained at the weight and it was one of those weird temple shots he didnt see coming could have happened to anyone

Secondly Clottey IS the best Defencive fighter he will have fought IMO

This fight to me is a close to a 50/50 fight. Both fighters have weaknesses that can be exploited despite the attributes that they have. Cotto has a tendancy to lean over with a bent over stance that Clottey can take advantages of with uppercuts. That is what he used to neutralize Zab at the end of their fight. The problem with Clottey is he a lot of times doesn't do a good job of mixin defense with offense. In that respect he is kind of similar to Chad Dawson but with a better chin and he is a solid pucher for 147. The time when he covers up is when Cotto needs to launch his body attack. Another variable is the kind of cut man that Cotto will have in his corner. That is where I thought Evangelista did a good job in the Zab and Mosley fights with those cuts inside his mouth.

Nice post Newbie, will be lookin out for more of ur posts!

I re watched Margarito-Clottey last night and if Clottey can fight the same way he did the first 4 rounds against my boy Tony and add a little more pressure to his game plan I really see him stopping Cotto like a sack of hot ****, if he doesn't, then I see Cotto most likely winning on points which will be a shame.

Clottey needs to bring the heat big time, Im firmliy aboard the Cotto train and Expect a win here but im under no illusions this is a highly loseable fight for him
