    Is Clottey better than Cotto?

    You've seen Clottey fight. I didn't. Do you think he is better than Cotto? Can he survive the punishing punches of Pacquiao? More importantly, what are the chances that he can beat the Pound for Pound king?

      I would say he can be better if he really wanted to be, He lost that fight more than Cotto really won.

        He isn't as versatile as Cotto but he takes a better shot and might be tougher physically, I think he kind of shuts off mentally though.

          When I first heard his name I thought they just misspelled Cotto.

            That is how I see it. Clottey has a very good defense and is cautious and is going to be tougher to open up. His offense is not as aggressive as Cotto's.

              Cotto basically beat Clottey with one eye and still doesn't get the benefit of the doubt..My pick is for Cotto even though I think Clottey will give Pacquiao a harder fight based on styles.

                I think Clottey is definitely better but he's just missing something. He doesnt have that last gear and he will always come up short in big fights. He is a beast though so you should go on youtube to see if you can get some of his fights.

                    Some say Clottey beat Cotto.

                    Truth is Clottey will never be the same after that body slam he suffered at the hands of Cotto.
