To me if a fighter can make his skills work in harmony the fighters overall level is greater then the sum of his overall parts. To me Clottey is the negative of this, he is solid all around but his overall level is less then the sum of the parts of his game.
It will be interesting to see what happeans though, the fight should be very hard fought since it means so much to both men.
He really needs to go all out if he want to beat cotto and unless he has the hunger i cant see him doing so...

clottey does have fast hands and he explodes out of his shell into 3/4 punch combo's. his left hook is lethal and his right uppercut is a punch that isee cotto egtting tagged with throughout the fight.
imo clottey needs to use his handspeed though, he needs to go to the body and he needs to throw more. margarito went to cottos body throughout the early rounds and yes he did end up giving some of the early rounds away but that because of his lack of defense, if clottey bangs to the body and at the same time he is able to use that air tight defense he might sneak a few rounds here and there.
one of the main gripes i have with clottey is that he doesn't throw enough, in this fight he can't afford to do that. if he is as hungry as i think he is he should have enough left to finish strong and keep punching till the end.
imo clottey via TKO in the 12th
