    I'm not sure what you saying but at this moment in time PBF is ranked highter at WW than Cotto is though Cotto has cleary fought the better overall competition at 147lbs. I have no problem with it though since I feel PBF has earned his position in boxing. Though is quite clear at 147lbs Cotto has faced the better oppostion. No big deal.

    he definetly wants the margarito rematch he keeps bringing it up. So hopefully Clottey wins tonight, fights Kermit and wins title, rematches margarito just cause, and then face off agianst floyd/williams/cotto so we can all see how he really matches up against the top.

    People keep perpetuating the myth that Clottey broke his hand against Margo but he never at any point during the match BROKE his hand and that is a FACT. It was just a convenient excuse for looking bad against a rusty fighter coming off a long layoff. As a matter of fact he was fighting Corrales a few months later without any hand problems so it's BS of the same sort that Cintron was spewing after the Feliciano fight. The man lacks heart and his stamina is probably worse than Judah's but he's physically durable so Cotto will most likely UD him like 116-112 or so.

    So you dont think Kermit has the power to knockout Cottey?

    noone ever said he 'broke' his hand. He had an injury to his knuckle. Which if you ever cracked or broke a knuckle before know you just cannot throw a punch with that hand. Too much pain. Believe me, I know. It was a legit injury. He stopped throwing with his left hand, and ultimately gave margarito the room he needed to fight his way back to the later rounds. Clottey was one-handed for the second half of the fight. I guess you would just have to break or crack a knuckle to know how bad that **** hurts.

    He's a threat but just not a major one in my opinion.....I guess I'm half a moron. I've met both guys and Cotto is the heavier handed man while Clottey is slightly taller but nowhere near 190lbs....at least from what I saw and I'm 210lb

    The power yes, the mind and chin no. Kermit just cant handle pressure and clottey will bring tons of it. I think Kermit is a knock out waiting to happen to the first live body he fights. He is just mentally weak. And I still cannot believe he has not rematched Margarito still to avenge that loss. That is the sole reason why I do not see him winning anything meaningful in the future at all. And it would take more than couple shots to knock clottey out - hes got a chin.
