Is Clottey better than Cotto?

[Beater_of_ass]

The problem for Clottey is he shells up, and doesn't throw enough punches. Also, as Cotto showed in the 6th and 4th round if you throw enough punches, you can break through his defense. Manny will be able to throw 70-90 punches a round and not get tired. Clottey will look like ****, but he'll win which is what anyone who fights Clottey does. He makes them look bad, but he always ends up losing because he doesn't do enough.

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

He bearly beat Mosley? Cotto bearly beat Clottey but he clearly out boxed Mosley on his way to a UD.

I thought it was a clear win also but it was only like 7-5 and Cotto had to get on his bike late. Even after that fight alot of the people who even picked Cotto said that if they had a rematch they would go with Mosley

Better defense but overall no.

[Avenue]

no, and hes slower then cotto
smh@pacman for this fight

[Siggy]

i had clottey winning the fight.
better hand speed, better defense, and much better chin. unlike cotto he's also a 2 fisted fighter. that straight right could be trouble for manny.

Clottey has better defense but not offense. Manny is gonna take this by decision.

[Bushidō]

No. Clottey is a very tough fighter but he tends to cover up when his opponent is punching. He's solid all around but he is not better than Cotto

[AllEyesOpen]

I've always felt that style-wise Margarito will always beat Cotto, but that was at 147. Think about it, at 154 Margarito's work rate might go down and Cotto's power might be enough to get him to hurt Marg or at least keep Marg off him enough to get the decision. Very exciting possiblity, not so easy to figure who wins. Cotto needs to work on his defense cause if his head's going to be wide open then it won't look good.

No. He has a better chin, but that is about it.
