    I never said or implied that. I'm only suggesting that Cotto's chin isn't as bad as your making it out to be.

    BTW Margo could have thrown a million punches against Clottey and it wouldn't have mattered because he wasn't taking those punches on his chin but rather on his guard. Honestly I don't know what to make of Clottey's chin becasue he rarely takes clean punches. He has maybe the best guard in all of boxing but consquently his offensie at times becomes stagnent and it's that reason why I'd favor Cotto by UD.

    Cotto couldn't even put a dent in AM's chin. When PW & SSM fought AM, AM wasn't laughing. AM was laughing at Cotto.

    AM was laughing against Mosley. :deal

    We saw who got the last laugh but none the less Mosley's early bombs were met with a smile. :deal

    I was about to argue with you...but your right. After something Arriba said about Cotto's handspeed I looked into it more and he's actually kinda slow. His speed is overrated because of his appearance in the Margo fight. But Clottey AND Cintron are faster. It became more apparent to me after watching the Jennings fight.

    You were spot on when saying he's accurate and his timing is perfect. They truly are. He's not fast. He simply knows the precise time in which to throw his punches so they catch their target. But he's NOT that fast.

    Did you forget that before Floyd beat Baldi, Baldi was still selling feather dusters in the streets of his home country?

    No, what I remember is Ta Ta beating Judah, you know, the guy Cotto later went on to fight.

    I cant believe some of you guys think a fighter like Clottey who's best asset is covering up can beat Cotto. Cotto would box him to an easy win. Clottey dont throw enough and he is not a hard hitter. I be surprised if Clottey can win 4 rounds.

    All the Cotto fans said the same thing about him vs AM. "Cotto's boxing skills are too good and he'll easily outbox AM",

    2 be real though I think a Clottey-Cotto fight would be competitive....I don't think a KO would happen..I think either could win a close decision!:thumbsup
