simple question.....when will floyd grow balls and fight someone other than a blown up featherweight?? :rofl
i wouldn't rule out a draw. still, cotto just too fast and accurate. clottey doesn't have margarito's output. to his credit, he does have very good defense, similar to quartey's, but it can also be counterproductive. clottey's never faced as big of puncher than cotto, while cotto's faced fighters like mosley and torres. both margarito and clottey break their opponents down, but before cotto submitted to antonio, he was landing some brutal shots. if clottey does want to go toe to toe, i'm not sure if he would take that same punishment. this ain't cotto's toughest test, while this is easily clottey's hardest fight. i hope his hands are alright
11th. Cotto can't handle him. Damn I can't wait. Gonne be some long faces with all these Cotto-***gots around here.
I'm leaning towards Clottey by late stoppage. He has a nice left uppercut/hook. That's gonna land on Cotto. Clottey may cover up and walk Cotto down. Cotto could gas out in this one. I doubt Cotto can hurt Clottey. I think with Clottey's tight guard Cotto will waste a lot of punches like he did when he strictly head hunted against Margarito. It's like a toss up to me but I'm leaning towards Clottey. It's going to be a great fight I think. A very tough one for both fighters. A big question I wonder about is will Cotto abandon the body attack like he did against Margarito? He fought a very bad fight tactically. He must go to the body against Clottey. And also, how much did Margarito take out of Cotto mentally or physically? The Jennings fight tells us nothing as he as nothing to bother Cotto. Like I mentioned Cotto really had no game plan for Margarito and now he is basically training himself I think. Will he come out better or the same. I think we know what Clottey will bring but I wonder about Cotto. I can't make an absolute official prediction quite yet but like I said, I am leaning towards Clottey as of now, by just a little.
