Miguel Cotto-Joshua Clottey: Pre-Fight Report Card

[Iceta]

There's plenty of fighters in and around the Welterweight division that I would pick to beat Cotto, but Clottey isn't one of them. Before the Angulo-Cintron fight, I thought that Angulo would be too much for Cotto, and I may have been wrong about that after Angulo got beat by Cintron of all people. But I still stand by my statement that James Kirkland would break Cotto in half. Pretty soon I don't think Cotto will be able to make 147 anymore. And even if he does the division will be void of big names.

I think Clottey will win the fight, but he might only get a draw.

How can they give Cotto a B for defense and Clottey a B?
Miguel Cotto has NO solid defense whatsoever. Clottey is
going to put his boot print on Cotto's back. If Cotto wins
I give him props for sure, but don't see him being strong
enough to beat Clottey. TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!!!!

Wow someones reaaallllyyy mad LOL. Relax its not that serious..

What I'm getting from folks here is that Clottey is just too big, to defensive and puts to much pressure. I think that poeple see Clotteys body and tell themselve....this dude is strong therefore he will be too much for Cotto.

But the fact is that Clottey has only knocked out 1 guy since 2005. That dude was JL Cruz who had lost 3 of his last six before meeting Clottey and since then has lost 2 of 3. With the exeption of Judah and Margarito which he lost these are the names on his resume:

Shamone Alvarez, Diego Corrales, Felix Flores, Marcor Primera, Marlone Thomas, Richard Guiterrez... none of them world beaters and none of them KO by Clottey. So my questions is why do people think that he is going to run Cotto out of the ring... hell he could not even ko felix flores a 140 that has seen the mat for a street hooker.

Clottey is a good athlete that can make the best of tonights opportunity. But if one is objective and put each fighters resume, Cotto's is superior.

Now, having said that... the intangible here is how the Post Margacheato Cotto will react to his first test since eating cement. That is the reason why I will be like many of you with a birra on hand and a fast pulse standing in front of my TV!

Have fun guys.... and after the fight there will be a bunch of us writing "A told you so" and other just reading and looking for excuses.....

Peace!
