    Is it that Clottey very overrated or is it that Cotto is considered like **** and loses to everyone B level since he lost to Margacheato......


    Cotto wide UD or late stoppage. Different class.

    Clottey is a safety first fighter. He isn't going to pressure all out like Margacheato so i don't get why everyone say Cotto will fold under pressure. Also he has power but not one punch KO power. Hell he never had Zab really hurt and Zab was 142 on fight night while Joshua was at MW or maybe more. He also never fought anyone on Cotto's level who brought as much as Cotto can bring to the table.

    If beating a completely shot, blown up Corrales, a finished Zab Judah, fool to barely get by Richard Gutierrez who was destroyed by Angulo is enough to get him by Miguel Cotto ill eat my words but i think he'll get outclassed.

    So pointing out that Clottey has also delivered low blows (in a fight 10 years ago) is your justification for Cotto? Don't you know you do not justify bad behavior by pointing out other bad behavior.

    If Clottey were to win this fight in that type if manner I would not respect his win either.

    Well said.

    Regardless, I still think it will be a tough night for Cotto just because of clotteys toughness.

    Clottey is very capable of beating Cotto this weekend. I won't be surprised if it happens.

    Cotto by UD.

    As I stated previously, Clottey just doesn't have the style to beat Cotto in my opinion. To beat Cotto you need constant aggression, a good chin and stamina. Not much for skills, speed or movement, it's all about aggression and being on him all night. Clottey lacks aggression and doesn't have the stamina to win this one, Clottey is the type of guy that waits in the ring and if you wait against Cotto he WILL outbox you. Even in exchanges I would be picking Cotto to win them and make Clottey look bad at times. Even if Clottey does prove to hit hard enough for Cotto he lacks the finishing skills to take full advantage of it and Cotto knows how to survive even when hurt and ALWAYS fires back, Clottey who is too cautious with his style won't be reckless even if he hurts Cotto and you NEED to be reckless to break Cotto down.

    Clottey couldn't finish off a beyond past it, blown up and coming off two brutal physically damaging losses Corrales(RIP) who was literally out of it since round 7. Got to add that he doesn't even have a single major win worth considering to make a case in this discussion, Cotto has a UD victory over none other than Mosley.
