    makes him. but he has fierce heart. and evidently can handle obsorb
    loaded bombs better than most.

    anything under an 8lb sledgehammer is not going to dent this guy. cottos going to have to start early on clotteys body.

        yeah, he still wouldnt be in a FOTY


        unless maybe he and his opponent are both out on their feet for the second half of the fight, exchanging bombs in the pocket

        that's the only scenario that i can think of

          Ok been watching some more Clottey fights, trying to give him a chance but he can be frustrating at times with low punch output. He is a good counter puncher though, would help if he turned his punches over more, he is very accurate also, if he touches Cotto's body or Cotto starts to back up in this fight, which I think he might, it could be a long night for Junito.

            I'm excited, and cant wait. The only thing i can see spoiling this fight, is if Clottey were to be overly defensive throughout the fight. He has a tendency to pull a winky wright once in a while.

                I agree this is FOTY to hell with all the pac/pbf talk. This will be a WAR of wills

                  I was under the impression that's exactly what he does.

                      Yeah, but he does have power and the tendency to knock mofo's out unlike Winky. Personally, I dont see this as being a war. I see Cotto being his usual self, with Clottey covering up for the majority of the fight, and firing off countershots whenever there's an opening.
