I am nobody; I am legend! Cotto will decision Clottey in a tough fight in N.Y...

I think that Clottey will win a narrow, but unanimous decision over Clottey if he stays on his feet meaning that he is not knocked down in this fight. Cotto's punch output might just be enough to catch the judges eyes in this fight. I don't expect him to hit Clottey a lot, but I expect him to be a bit busier than Clottey.

Cotto will have the N.Y crowd in his back pocket, and he imo has learned from his loss to AM. Clottey has a good jab, and puts on good pressure with defense, but I don't think he has the offensive arsenal to pick apart Cotto. Clottey has the power to hurt him, but Cotto's people will say move to your left(Clottey's right), or stand your ground and use your jab and stay center ring.

The Cotto jab is a plus if he can land it, but I don't expect it to land a lot. Cotto holds his head down, and is hard to hit center ring, so Clottey's work has to be on the ropes, or his jab has to work over time. Clottey can box also which is a very underrated part of his game, but he gets lazy at times, and has fragile hands. Both fighters right hands are weak imo. Both hae common opponents in that both beat Judah, and both lost to AM. Who did better between the two? Doesn't matter although I thought Clottey beat AM.

Maybe Clottey being a new champion might motivate him to stay champ. We will see if Clottey can land the jab/uppercut like AM did. Center ring I like Cotto, on the ropes...I like Clottey. Clottey will have to use his pressure, his jab, and left hook to the body for the entire fight, and he will have to use heavy pressure to keep Cotto on the defensive. Cotto has to stay off he ropes, use his jab, pick his openings which will be far and few, attempt body shots, and use the ring, or stay center ring.

I like Cotto in a tough, but close fight because he is the smarter boxer. Again, I will not be surprised in the least if Clottey wisn the way I the way I said Cotto should win lol. Sometimes that happens...you expect one guy to fight this way, and the other guy fights that way. Clottey can very well be undefeated. The scoring of the AM fight was dubious, and did Clottey reallly lose to Badomir? Cotto 115-113 UD.

Yeah me too. this fight is such a toss up its crazy. Can anybody really say Cotto is the better boxer by far?? I give Cotto the body punching and maybe stamina but I give Clottey the defense, and the accuracy. meaning a true toss up. All I know is I got the finest grass in Sin~City and some Rican rum with alot of chicas bontias coming thru, so its on tommorow!!!

Both are called paper champions but both are legit challengers. I'm getting my popcorn out, and enjoying this one.

:good

I think heart needs to go to Clottey as well. He lost to Margo but was injured. While Cotto quit when the **** got tough.

It should be a great fight.

The weigh in pics show cotto is prepared to box and use angles to box clotty in a shell though clotty will counter and impress, I'm leaning towards clotty but cotto should use his skills and get a wide ud. Ahhhh shittttt! Lmfao!

Let's not hype this fight too much. I'm interested in but it's not like having Floyd Mayweather, Shane Mosley, Andre Berto, Paul Williams... It's Cotto who is coming back and it's Joshua Clottey, c'mon.

I'm a huge Cotto-hater and all... but even I can't agree that this fight is just some bull****.

C'mon man. Cotto by himself is a really exciting draw. Put him in the ring with another huge welterweight and it could spell trouble. This fight has all the makings of a really exciting one.
