      I am betting on Clottey. Either guy can take this Clottey has excellent defense and power as well as very quick hands. Clottey just seems to coast at times but I am sure there are no stamina issues, the guy is in superb condition.

      The inside fighting will decide this one, they both have great inside fighting skills but Clottey has a vicious uppercut that I think he will use like Margs did, catching Cotto with three or so in a row.

Clottey is a grossly underrated fighter with great defense and until proven otherwise a great chin...especially if you think Marg was plastering everyone in more recent fights. Clottey has much more than the slim chance you give him to win.
          I guess we'll just wait and see... but I just have a gut feeling that Cotto handles this one really well to forewarn either Pac or Mayweather about any upcoming fights. If he doesn't look ahead (he's a focused fighter, I don't see him doing that) he can really run the table in my opinion.

              They both have good chances with the proper game plan to win this one. I doubt it would be a blow out either way. Props to Cotto though for not ducking Clottey, he is a frequently avoided fighter and there is little reward for Cotto if he does win.

                  Cotto has never ducked anyone... man, I hate that Hopkins ducked out on him, though. I don't necessarily dislike Hopkins, and I would have enjoyed that fight alot.

                    Here are the first two rds against Margs. Clottey hurt/broke his hand in this fight in the later rds and lost a decision...he would have easily won had he not gotten hurt.
