    for a while there i was thinking that this is gonna be a really, really close fight. i didn't think cotto would find a way to clottey's body but then again i don't see clottey putting out a high output. even if he does put on the pressure like he was mentioning, his output isn't very high and if cotto keeps busy he'll win it. we'll see on fight night. this will be a good, close fight.

      I agree totally. I can't wait for this fight, I believe it will give us a good oppurtunity to see just how good Cotto is. On the otherhand if Clottey can win it will catapult him into the upper echelon of fighters, and people will have to start paying attention, great matchup, one that makes all around sense for the sport period.

        I may be in the minority, but I don't see Clottey as a tougher fight for Cotto than Pacquiao. The guy already showed me that his will can be broken in the Margarito fight. I know some people may bring up the Agapito Sanchez fight with Pacquiao, but I just view Manny as a more determined fighter than Clottey.

          Yes he is a serious test, and Cotto may even lose. However, who can take anything you say about Pacquiao seriously at this stage? You predict Manny Pacquiao's demise before nearly everyone of his fights! It's time to accept you're mostly clueless.

            im a Cotto fan but im gonna be real Clottey can beat Cotto but Cotto is a better boxer than Clottey and his overall skills can get him a win.Plus Clottey has stamina issues so in the long run his not goin to be as effective as margo was or mosley.

              r you sirious, do you think Pacquiao could last 11 rounds getting hit with plaster, because i dont.

                You misinterpreted my post. I was actually referring to Clottey when I said his will could be broken. I was referring to the Clottey-Margarito fight. He made an excuse of why he couldn't fight on using a hand injury and that's why I said that I thought Pac could be a tougher challenge than Clottey because he's got more heart and determination. People who have seen Clottey fight know what I am talking about.

                    How was his will broken? He injured both hands and noticeably fatigued but never stopped and went the distance.

                    I've seen cottos will broken though....

                      The actual truth is both guys' wills were broken against Margarito. I'm not a fan of Margo whatsoever, but I was just pointing out why I think Pac is a tougher challenge for Cotto than Clottey.
