    Do people forget that Cotto barely squeaked by Clottey?

    I don't know if it's a case of being done or not that good, but he is at a stand still in his career right now when it comes to being able to compete with the best. Even if he beats Foreman, it is no measuring stick.

    Did you forget that his eye was brutally cut by a headbutt.

      people fail to realize that Clottey is a top 5 WW and very good fighter. He was just shook by Pac's power, which is not a bad thing considering what happened to Hatton and Cotto.

      Real talk but Clottey beats Berto and I could see him possibly pulling an upset and beating Mosley.

        Cut eye, and managed to down Clottey as well as winning the fight.

        Can't always win them easy.

          I think Clottey won that fight.

              The only way I could see Clottey beating Berto at this stage is if Berto's chin is just total ****. And there's no way he would beat Mosley. And I'd favor all the top 154 lbers over Clottey. All the top 140 lbers too. Remember, Cotto struggled with this guy.

                I think Clottey would win rounds against a lot of very good boxers. If Pac's stamina was as bad as Cotto's then Pac-Clottey would've been a fair bit closer IMO.

                  Cotto showed heart... and won.

                    Cotto fought with a gash that required over 20 stitches from the 3rd round on.

                    You conveniently forget this.
