Clottey looks like he turns into stone when the clock strikes midnight.

I wouldn't like to be punched by him.

The Real question is can cotto hurt clottey, cuz I have no doubt clottey can hurt cotto

Clottey has a nice upper. Cotto's prone to Uppercuts and showed it again in the Jennings fight. If Clottey is smart he will analyze that fight and Margarito's. He needs to use the upper a lot in this fight.

Still think Cotto takes a UD though.

Thats true but he showed it against Jennings? I watched the fight today and i cant remember MJ landing 1 uppercut

I think MJ could have done better against Cotto. He is decent.

But I guess not everyone is mean't to be great.

He is a good all round pro i like him, he knows the game and has good skills and movement plus he has been in some good fights but honestly i think he did all he could, Cotto was just in a different league.

I keep hearing from my fellow Cotto fans that this guy cant punch, people are slating his power left right and centre. He only has 20KO's from 35 wins and 37 fights but from what ive seen he can **** a bit with either hand particuarly the left (hook to the body, uppercut to the head) he aint no George Foreman but he can punch no doubt. Now i defended Cotto's chin from the moment people started doubting it, its not shaky, its not weak, theres nothing wrong with it BUT i beleive Clottey can hurt him! If they stood and traded punch for punch Clottey would come out on top in my opinion even tho Cotto is the better puncher slightly.

With that said im expecting Cotto's skills, variety and greater imagination to see him through a tough fight on points. Clottey takes breaks and Cotto has that steady work rate. Cotto will box for the most part but know when to Fight and really mix it up in there


Some other factors to consider are Cotto has had this fall out with his uncle and trainner and will not have him in his corner, we dont know how this will effect Miguel. He is trainning away from PR for the first time to my knowledge anyway, which may throw him but that should all be negated by the fact he has "home" advantage at The Garden on the Eve of PR Day Parade.
Clottey is hungry for this tho and wants it BAD!

TAKING ANY BETS ON CLOTTEY WINNING, name ur bet i got Miguel

I actually respect you for a post like this. Most of the time posts with a title like this will end up ****** and trolling "Cotto wiLL recjked Afrika's boudy!!!!!%^%!" So I commend you for this. Good post.
