    Then what can I tell you.. learn how to score a fight. Cotto clearly won and the Margarito-Clottey fight was not a robbery. It's interesting how you favored the boxer when scoring the Clottey fight, but not the Cotto fight.

    And who has Cotto REALLY fought? :lol: Fighters that would beat Clottey's ass easily.. much better fighters than Margarito and a shot, blown up Corrales.

    Clottey is a solid B level fighter, but nothing more. He presents no challenge to the elite and once his body can't handle making 147 anymore (which should be fairly soon) he will be a LMW gatekeeper at best.

    Not to get to much off subject but I can clearly remember a numerous amount of posters claiming Mosley will box Cotto's ear's off. After watching the fight I thought to myself "man Cotto's got some boxing skills, at times he was toying with Mosley counter punching him at will" Mosley is such class though he contiued to attack but with no real game plan.

    Yeah, that fight raised both fighters' stocks. Cotto showed more people that he's multidimensional and Mosley showed more people that he's still hanging on at the elite level and still has an incredible chin/heart.

    CLottey is a front runner. He gets tired. Cotto is not the fighter you want to get tired with.

    Clottey would have a chance at winning, but I don't think he would be able to keep up with his own pace for a whole 12 rounds. He tends to get tired midway through the fight and honestly, just looks like an average fighter in the second half of the fight. Overall, he is a good fighter though who deserves to be in the top 10.

    I like Clottey, but Cotto UD's him to the tune of 116-112. The guy has one gear, and one gear only. Since Clottey is rugged and Cotto likes to bang, I can see Cotto dropping a round or two near the end of the fight, but not enough for the decision to be all that controversial.

    A Clottey Margo rematch would be a great fight.

    Clottey walks through Cintron ITD.

    I believe Clottey would beat Cotto down. Most on esb think Clottey is a chump for some reason. The boy can box.

    Missing one degree there. Lost to Williams, who lost to Quintana, who was almost killed by Cotto.

    oh yeah, thanks.

    seriously though clottey doesn't stand a chance, he is overrated for giving margo a close fight, he hurts his hands in every fight and he cant break an egg.
