Would it shock you if Cotto or Clottey won the fight one-sidedly?

    Cause of his workrate not being that great against elite or better fighters similar to the zab judah fight where it was close at times just because Clottey wasn't willing to go on the offense? Yeah, and I think part of his really defensive tight guard at times has something to do with his opponents offense.

      I don't think Clottey is all that either, but I gotta believe he will be at his best Saturday.

      He's screwed (financially) in the future if he isn't.

        Clottey has never been ko'd an his only losses are when he hurt his hand against Margs and a dq, he has never lost a decision either.

          Yes, because I think both fighters are well skilled (Cotto is fairly more skilled) and they seem very determined to win. If one fighter starts winning too many rounds, I think the other will do enough to catch up.

            Clottey is very religious and because of this he is very sound mentally. I believe that if he pressures Cotto, Cotto will revert back to the Margs fight and breakdown remembering his only loss- Clottey is not undefeated as Cotto could thin that he was beaten by a cheater and still consider himself undefeated; he may have weaknesses of the mind not physical impairments.

            I also think that if Cotto gets cut again he will breakdown.

              I don' think the cut was that big an issue. Cotto has been cut very badly in the past before, and he has fought well through it. I think he was just extremely exhausted against Margarito. Honestly, we won't know what the deal is between these two until this Saturday. Cotto has to prove he is not damaged goods and Clottey needs to prove he can beat a top level fighter.

                No way either guy dominates. This will be rough and go 12.

                  I think you are right, mang, but nothing surprises me.

                  Ideally we are going to see both guys take it to a new level and the fans going nuts.

                  Both guys have so much to lose in losing. Either guy loses and I don't see mega fights for either anywhere close.

                  I think they both know that.
