Is anyone picking Clottey to beat Cotto?

[ShalafiV.2]

I am, Clottey by KO round 10.

I got Clottey by KO late. Said it since day 1.

agree with that man, im gonna say clottey via late TKO.

personally i think clottey has been overlooked way too often by fans, media, boxing journo's and networks. hes gonna come in hell bent on hurting cotto.

hatton once said (this was after cottos fight with SSM) that despite his skills cotto could be broken down. a few months later margarito showed us how its done.

clottey like margarito is about as tough as they come, very well conditioned, can take a shot and is very big for the weight. defensively clottey is a good fighter he has a high, tight guard and not much gets through, offensively his 3/4 punch combo's are much more explosive and accurate than margarito's.

i see this fight going in the same direction as the margarito vs cotto fight.

the bottom line is this - COTTO CANOT TEK ME PONCHES!!!

I am, Clottey by KO round 10.

Fancy a small bet?

I dunno if I'm picking Clottey to beat Cotto, but I certainly want him to win. And IMO against Margs they were both level on points - draw for Clottey, and 95-95 for Cotto before the knee.

Agreed Cotto will Box this guy and fight him when he has to or feels its right. Clottey is good but he tucks up in his shell for to long over the course of a fight and it could cost him against a guy with Cotto's skill set and steady work rate

This is along the lines of what I'm thinking. The only chance I think Clottey would have is if he got Cotto out of his new rythym with his new trainer... but when he tucks into that shell, Cotto is going to run the table. It'll be like a football team that runs up the middle 3 times, then punts. You can't win against an agressive opponent like that.

I'm taking Clottey. He's one of the most underrated fighters in the game today. I think his power is also underrated and he'll hit Cotto clean often.

Don't forget Cotto's shaky camp...

[KittenFlaps]

I can't see Clottey winning. I've watched some highlights and clips and while he looks good I have seen Cotto fight as well. Seems like after Margs people fell off the Cotto bandwagon and forgot why they ever got on it. It's almost like they forgot the first 8 rounds of that fight. It's like his one loss negates his performances before that loss which is absurd if you really think about the one loss on that record, and then think about the wins on that record.

I don't have any points to bet, but if I did they'd be on Cotto. Most likely by UD.

No, I have cotto winning a competive fight.
