    I saw Clottey do a very James Toney'ish counter right hand against Margarito which really stunned him. He doesn't take many chances, but I think he has some tricks up his sleeve, so to speak.
    He has skills no doubt, my whole issue is how he makes them work together.

    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.

      Who cares if Clottey is faster, Judah and Mosley seem to be quicker then Clottey from Videos I've seen of Clottey. That didn't stop Cotto from beating them, Cotto does not struggle with people who have quick hands. He can figure them out. Some people be acting like a Puerto-Rican stole their girl on this website. The hate for entertaining fighters like Cotto is disgusting.

        Who's hating on Cotto here? Stop whining like a hoe, and add something constructive to the thread or shut the **** up.

            How? The guy comes into complaining about Cotto being hated on, and people having their girls stolem, when there is no hate in my thread. Dude needs to go back to making thread about candy.

                    Timing beats speed.

                    Clottey has a fast ass right hand that he lunges with. Cotto will time it and might possibly hurt him.

                    Don't be surprised.

                      Watch the last seconds of Cotto vs N'dou and tell me who has the faster hands.
