    Judah never hurt Clottey. Just watched the fight last night. Clottey was never hurt man. Judah got hurt alot in that fight. Plus Margarito knocked out Cotto and bloodied him up. Clottey was never hurt by Margarito. Cotto has more skill. Clottey has more hurt and that will be the difference.

    i think clottey is gonna pull out with this win... this guy is tough as nails... he's got a great jab and the defense is pretty good as well... i wouldnt be surprised if he TKO/KO's cotto...

    so i'm gonna go out on a limb and say Clottey by TKO 10!!!...

    If he were really that tough he would have battled past his hand injury against Margo and won.. but he didn't. Don't matter though because toughness won't have all that much to do with the outcome here. Skill will be the definitive factor and in my eyes, Clottey simply isn't the fighter that Cotto is.

    I basically think that Clottey has to come out as a different fighter in order to beat Cotto... His defense and chin won't win this fight... He is not a presure fighter and he doesn't throw enough punches per round to really pull of the upset and make Miguel fight his fight. I've said it before and I'll say it again... Clottey is a one dimensional fighter.

    :? a one dimensional fighter? Man, he doesnt fight anything like a one dimensional...I take it you dont even know the proper meaning of a 1 dimensional fighter...Edison Miranda is a 1 dimensional fighter so for you to say that Clottey is oned dimensional fighter makes me wonder if you've even watched Clottey fight.

    So be more specific...What fights or what makes you think he's a 1 dimensional fighter?:huh

    Clottey is no way 1 dimensional. The man puts the pressure and has good D but his workrate aint the best. I've said it for a while this is no easy fight for both of them but i believe in the end Cotto will come out with the UD.

    The man has basically one way of fighting... hands up for defense and move forward while trowing hooks and upercuts. I bet you that on Saturday, he will get into trouble and he wouldn't be able to adapt or change his game plan. Basically being a one dimensional fighter...

    I seriously question your knowledge of the sport....What is your definition of 1 dimensional??? Because you sure as hell must dont understand it to call a fighter like Clottey one Dimensional.

    A fighter that does only 1 thing. (just my term)

    Ex. Edison Miranda...He is a 1 dimisional fighter because he only relies on his big right hand..He doesnt jab to work his way in or anything.

    So you for you to sit here and say Clottey is 1 dimensional is flat out bull****...Clottey doesnt look to load up on one shot like others do....Yes, he keeps his high guard up but he also gives you angels off of that high guard...

    So please enlighten me on how is that 1 dimensional???:huh

    Have you seen Clottey change his strategy or style when plan A is not working to get a W? So far what I have seen from him has been the same style, same way of fighting...

    He is one dimensional... He does throws combos no questions about that but is he able to adapt, change styles, be versatil on the ring and try different things like other greats have done in between rounds... the answer to that my friend is no and you know it... Throwing a combination of 3 or 4 combos doesn't cut it my eyes...

    Let's take Tito... clearly a one dimensional fighter that comes forward and placed his left hook very well... He threw some combinations but it was all to set the left hook and go forward... He didn't have the capability to change and adapt... same thing with Pavlik against B-Hop...

    I don't care if you agree with me or not... to me a one dimensional fighter is a fighter that comes in with plan A only and the reason he only brings that plan A is because he doesn't know what else to do and how to change his style / strategy correctly when a strategy doesn't work and all he does is the same thing / same mistake.

    You'll see on Saturday, Clottey will have his game plan and that will be to cover, push Cotto to the ropes and corners of the ring and try to make Miguel fight his close distance fight... What is he going to do once Miguel jabs him and box him in the center of the ring not allowing him to get close? Is he going to do something different? Does he has the tools to do something different? Maybe he has but so far I haven't seen it.

    You must have never watched Clottey fight for you to even imply that he's one dimensional!:patsch

    Just because he presses the action (by coming foward behind a high gaurd) doesnt make him one dimensional...You clearly have the slightest clue on what you're talking about...So going to your logic I take it most of all fighters are one dimensional...Given that they couldnt adapt or come up with another game plan.

    Here is great example of how Flawed your logic is...Is Cotto a one dimensional fighter because he didnt have a plan B for the Margorito fight???
