      watching those highlights makes me want to switch my pick back to Clottey over Pac but as Ive said. He always comes up short and doesnt have that extra gear that all the greats have

        the thing I love about Clottey the most is he's one of the few guys who are funny in the ring. You dont see that anymore. I bet anything that he does something in this fight that will either make you laugh or make you get super hyped. He shows off a little in every fight

            People have underestimated Clottey's skill level. The guy has serious hand speed. Not it is not Pac/May like hand speed but it is elite hand speed. He throws good combinations, he shoots his right very straight, has tight defense and his chin is granite. He is not that big of a puncher but he is MAN strong. This is a very very tough fight for Pacquiao.

              Well in a contest of 12 rounds to see who was the better fighter. Miguel Cotto won the decision .

                No, he is not better and he doesn't have a lot of power either. His defence is one of the best in the sport though.

                  IDK about that. Cotto beat Mosley also but I think most would say that Mosley is better. If Quintana had never rematched Williams, I think most wouldve still said that Williams was better

                    WTF is that? If you say prime Mosley was better you have a case but you can't tell me with a straight face Mosley now or Mosley that Cotto beat was better than Cotto pre Margarito fight.

                      IDK about that at all. Alot of people think that if Richardson was in his corner then he probably wouldve won that fight. I honestly wouldnt be shocked if Margarito wouldve beat Mosley if he still had his dad in his corner. Also, my point is that just because someone beats a guy doesnt mean that he's better. Thats what you are trying to say. Vince Phillips beat Tszyu but he aint Tsyzu. Cotto barely beat Mosley but he go KTFO by Margarito & Pac while Mosley brutaly stopped Margarito and would probably put up a far better showing against Pac than Cotto did. There are many cases like that in boxing
