    Only about 6 or 7 fights. And he never once impressed me. Tell me, for a guy with fast hands as you claim he has why is it that he has trouble throwing many punches? he is not an active fighter. He lost to Baldi. Almost lost to Guiterrez. He has never beaten an elite fighter ever.

    Shane is levels above Josh in terms of credentials, career accomplishments ect.....but regarding their level at WW presently? I'd say Shane is just above Clottley....just above Marg and Cotto for that matter.

    He throws about the same or more punches as Mayweather and Jones in their prime. Are you saying neither of those guys had fast hands? And are you seriously trying to put down Clottey for losing to Baldo? Clottey was well ahead on the scorecards and then was controversially DQ'd. Also if Clottey has never defeated an elite fighter, that would mean that Cotto has only beaten one elite fighter.

    Cotto is a more versitile fighter...no doubt, but styles make fights in MOST circumstances. Not to mention Clottley is just a BIG WW. Cotto is not and Cotto will be fighting backing up should he agree to fight Josh.

    Will Cotto be able to penetrate Josh's tight D? Yea...sometimes...will he have enough pop to hurt Josh...I doubt it. Will Cotto be able to eat what Josh will be dishing for he too is pretty accurate where Cotto isnt as soild defensively? Good question...based on their styles I say my prediction is as solid as Winks Defense. Josh by UD or TKO.

    I see a fight like Cotto vs Marg...only that it's fairly even throughout but Clottle doing more damage and utilizing his size in his favor! He wins clearly one way or the other.

    Cotto is soild...Clottley is BIG. Taller, thicker, stronger...period. Cotto is a better boxer...more demensions but given the styles Josh just has the edge and the physical advantages are just more to add to Josh winning.

    Id agree. Can and will he keep that up through the whole fight, or at least a good majority of it...? i guess well have to wait and see.

    This will be a good fight:bbb(if it happens)

    Can you quit saying this? You make yourself look like an idiot. He was DQed and up on all scorecards.

    Its like going around saying Jones lost to Griffin legitimately.

    Facts are facts, he got the lost. Can turn it into anything else then that. He didnt even rematch him. At least Roy did to Griffin and blew him out. Face it, Clottey aint ****. He never been **** and he never will be anything more then a brief title holder.

    :rofl

    Your right dude, facts are facts.

    And the fact is he was up big on all three cards, it wasn't close. So who's trying to turn it into something else. I'll tell you what lets do an avatar bet on the fight.. Clottey loses you pick an avatar for me for 6 months, Cotto loses I pick one for you.

    Is that a real question??? Tell me - what does actual frequency of punches thrown have to do with actual punching speed??? He isn't fast because he doesn't throw often??? WHAT??? WTF??? :rofl:rofl:rofl ..........

    No offense "Joker," but this is one of the more thoughtless and mindless responses I have ever seen or recieved in my time here. Tell me this is a mistake of some sort. Tell me this is a joke.
