    :think He was nowhere near his best against Clottey last night but that may be more to do with Clottey and his style than Cotto himself.

    The Margarito fight must have surely took a lot out of him and the Mosely fight as well to a lesser extent. Plus he had those wars against the likes of Torres at LWW.

    What do you think of Cotto fighting Pacquiao next?

    I'd much rather seen Pac fight the winner of Mayweather-Marquez with Cotto rematching Mosely. The winners of both fights should then fight each other. However, this is boxing and the chances of that actually happening are slim :lol:,

    I think Pac vs Mosely to fight the winner of Maywether vs JMM. Cotto vs Berto would be interesting.

    Just watched the fight now. Thought Cotto won close but clearly. Was surprised it was SD.

    I think Cotto would stop him. DiBella might now be willing to make the fight if he thinks Cotto has slipped.

    I thought the first round was close coming to the end, so I gave it 10-8 to Cotto following the kd.

    I think the norm for scoring a 10-9 in this situation is if one fighter has dominated the round, but suffered a flash kd along the way; no way Clottey was dominating that opener in my eyes.

    i had clottey winning the round till the kd and the kd was so late in the round i didnt think it warranted a 10-8 so i gave it 10-9 cotto

    We were scoring the fignt round by round on here and I scored the 1st a 10-9, I was very much in the minority though. I had Clottey clearly winning the first and to give Cotto a 10-8 would have made the knockdown (which wasn't a heavy one) worth 3 points.
