Clottey is a good guy and a good fighter but I think he is a little nervous to fight at Madison Square with a fighter like Cotto, his nerves will probably get the best him.
I agree on the bold
but also, if the PR Parade is in Cotto's mind and will be a big reason why he should win then he will be sidetracked because he will think NOT to lose for the parade instead of himself, his family and his career.

Winky was a proven champ with a style that will give fits to everyone at the time. He had beaten Mosely, and was an establish southpaw champion with lot's of experience. In the other hand, Tito was in a comeback out of his most effective weigth with a totally wrong game plan... and he paid for it by loosing every single round.
Clottey in the other hand, is a preassure fighter that stands in the pocket with a pick-a-boo style that rather waits until his opponent stops punching to launch his attack. Cotto, is not in a comeback an as a matter of fact has been more active than Clottey in the last two years.
I understand were you are comming from, but as you I hope that Cotto is well prepare and not intoxicated by the hype.... even though the hype seems to be around a Clottey victory if I read correctly in this forum.
Peace!!!
If you combine what you said about Clottey and what i said about Cotto, we should agree that Cotto should use his boxing skills in order to receive less punishment especially while not throwing punches, because that when Clottey likes to attack.

Man I tell you, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a live stream is worth a billion!
I just saw the live weith-in on HBO and you can tell that Clottey is a really standup and classy guy. It seemed to me that he tried to hug Cotto after the weight in and he is truly happy to be in the spot. I'm a Cotto fan, but by no means I dislike Clottey. To an extend I'm also a fan of his.
I'm rooting for Cotto not becuase he is a country man - there are plenty of boricua boxers which I dislike as fighters - but because I think he is the better boxer. But if the event of a mild upset, I can't think of anyone more deserving than Clottey.
It will be a good and solid match tomorrow... can't wait! WE ARE ALREADY THE WINNERS!

reading in between the lies it looks as if Clottey has made a change in his training and dropped his weight early in camp as a strategy for making weight. I see his motivations but I have to wonder if that was a positive move. These guys drop lots of weight in an already short window. If Clottey looks flat with no energy this could turn out to have been a very bad move.
