I have never seen Clottey fight, all i know is that he holds the IBF belt, lost to Margarito, and beat Judah(who pretty much sucks now). I still hear that he is good though but having not seen him I pick Cotto because I know what Cotto can do. Has anyone that has seen Clottey picking him to win?
I am, I thought his chances were good before Cotto's switch in trainers. Now with Cotto's routine disrupted I give Clottey and even better chance.
Clottey has only a very minimum chance- and that's because in boxing, almost anything can happen. Judah was much less a fighter when Clottey beat him than he was when Cotto TKO'd him back in 2007. Clottey's win over Corrales was nice, but he was only able to "hang" with the post-plaster Margarito.
Compare to Cotto: Should be undefeated, but was beat around by loaded Margarito gloves... Carlos Maussa, Lovemore N’Dou, Randall Bailey, Demarcus Corley, Ricardo Torres, Paulie Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana, Zab Judah, Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito. Those are the 10 men Cotto has fought who have won world titles, and 9 of them he has defeated. Only Margarito leaves a questionable loss on Cotto's record.
Clottey doesn't stand a chance, regardless of who is training Cotto.
Damn Mangler...I'm surprised. I woudlve thought you'd take Cotto in this one.
Based on what future business could come of it, I know it's better for Cotto to win homey. But I think Clottey is on that 'mad as hell and ain't gonna take it no more' tip. Dude's been passed over too many times, and is really bein overlooked. I think he's gonna show up in top form and give Cotto hell.

True... but Cotto is a warrior. He's never passed on a big fight like B-Hop did on him. This is a good matchup here, but Cotto is the better fighter. He'll win because of that.
