    Cotto KO Clottey? What an assinine comment, if CLotteys lazy ******ed ass didn't go into cruise control the only person who would have been KOed is cotto.

      Since I have to pick I'd say "Yes". He does bother me sometimes but I think boxing is better with him being a commentator. That being said I'd rather see someone else doing the big PPV's (Like Papa or Nick Charles)...

        Cotto did not come close to KOing Clottey. He was running for dear life most of the fight.

          Miguel fought the best fighters he could. Even if he had beat Margarito that wouldn't of been looked at as a great win. Floyd wasn't going to fight him and he wasn't gonna get a fight with Hatton. He fought the best fighters he could and ducked no one. Can't help there wasn't that many greats at the time.

            I didn't say he was close to kayoing him. I said if he had two eyes he would of ended up beating him to a pulp. Clotteys headbutt ruined that fight for everyone.

              Cotto was lucky to get the decision in that fight. Trying to use the eye as an excuse to not matching Pacquiao's domination is weak. Of course it has already been proven who is better between Cotto and Manny.

                his biases are present and he makes no bones about it

                BUT

                NO ONE can frame a fight like him he really can bring you into a fight if he so chooses

                  There was no indication of that. Clottey was outboxing him before the headbutt occured.

                      Lampley's okay. He's good at building the drama, but he's too much of a cheerleader, IMO.
