Clottey Vs Cotto Might Get Very Ugly For Cotto

people also thought Mosley would not only get KTFO'd by had no chance in hell of stopping him, Margo's hell on wheels but, Cotto hits hard as well, but he picks his shots much better then Margo who wastes alot, a stoppage wouldn't suprise me 1 bit

but i still dont think he will, Africans dont budge much, they got concrete built in there DNA

 

As a Cotto fan, I shall admit that it's possible, because Clottey is a very good fighter with some sharp punches and a good tight defense in the pocket. He can bust up Cotto on the inside if Cotto fights in the exact same manner that he did against Margarito, and if that happens, I could see Clottey taking advantage of the situation.

But, while Cotto is never going to be an amazing defensive fighter stricktly by virtue of his style, I think he'll improve slightly and certainly work more combinations to the body and head against a fighter who does have a tendency to be sparing with his punches from time to time. This could well be enough to carry the close rounds in a fight that I see going to the cards.

I see Cotto winning this fight by UD...certainly not going away...but enough to have earned the nod. However, it's a tough fight for him to take, and he and Clottey both deserve respect for stepping into the ring with one another.

 

WWM Cotto also fought going backwards against, Mosley, N'dou and Abdulaev.

 

I'm taking Clottey on this one too.

 

I feel ya on that one. I think Clottey works Cotto big time then we get Mosley-CLottey for undisputed WW champ

 

Cotto also has shown the ability to fight dumb. Not clinching against Margo to break up his rhythm or to buy time was a dumb move and not smart. Effective clinching is part of boxing it helped Shane beat Margo.:deal Retreating to the ropes instead of keeping the fight in the middle of the ring is another example in the Margo fight. Abandoning his body attack very early on like he did in the Margo fight. Cotto can be frustrated when things don't go his way. Hopefully he has made some adjustments because if he hasn't Clottey is the type of guy who will beat him.

 

Clottey's not that fast, at all.... also

> Zab couldn't drop Cotto and got stopped (faster hits hard)
> Torres couldn't drop Cotto and got stopped (just as fast hits harder)
> Chop couldn't drop Cotto and got stopped (just as fast, better counterpuncher)
> Shane couldn't drop Cotto and got outboxed (faster, hits harder)

they couldn't so much as drop him, but Clottey's gonna stop him?

 

He fought Margo like no other, i mean i have never seen Cotto fight like that, he was bouncing on his feet wasting energy and going back straight, he also had his hands down and was taunting, i think if he fought Margo the same way he did Mosley he probably would have beaten him.

 

Cotto has been hurt every fight once he became champ at 140, the question is how cant Clottey stop him?

 

Torres had him down once and Margo twice

:roflNO!

 

Yeah, he was hanging on for dear life against the deadliest puncher at 140 at the time. Paulie Malinaggi. And Gomez nearly knocked him unconscious.

 

Refer back to Tito vs Thiam.......:yep


Cotto will take Joshua into deep waters and make him pay dearly, watch....:smoke
