    You want to talk about Corley? Then talk about how DeMarcus Corley destroyed Felix Flores in a single round, and even after a long layoff and a move up in weight Felix somehow managed to go the distance with Clottey relatively unscathed. Considering that I wouldn't be surprised if Corely does hit harder than Clottey, as Demarcus is a very underrated puncher.

    Cotto UD.Clottey's workrate is weak as is his pressure.

    Tszyu went 11 rounds with Hatton and couldn't stop or hurt him. Mayweather hurt Hatton several times and stopped him. I guess Mayweather is a bigger puncher than Tszyu.

    he defintely faded down the stretch against felix flores and started to get somewhat defensive as he usually does once he's tired against zab Judah. face it man, Clottey has bad stamina and that's general knowledge on the guy, so I don't why you're disputing it.

    What?! Mayweather stopped Hatton through accumulation over several rounds, he didn't destroy Ricky the way Corley did to Flores in a single ****ing round. If Clottey is such a big puncher then why did he not manage to even seriously hurt Flores despite landing many flush shots over the course of 10 rounds?

    Close fight, but Clotteys workrate will be his downfall. I don't belive his speed will bother Cotto THAT much.

    Cotto will have a tough fight. Yesterday in the newspaper he said that if the fight against Clottey is made he would win no problem. I don't know about that but i trust his judgment and back him up completely. Clotteys work rate, stamina and punching power will be his downfall. I believe Cotto will win a UD 116-112 or 117-111. Either way Cottos good boxing skills, power, body movement, even with his "holes int his defense"??? he will get it done.

    Cotto by UD...i honestly don't see anyone getting hurt in this fight, and if someone does get rocked or hurt, i see it being Cotto and I am a Cotto fan. But Cotto's angles, ring savvy and the way he cuts off the ring will all be key factors in him winning. I can see Cotto keeping Clottey at bay with those jabs he's been working on. And once Clottey is covering up in a corner, Cotto will eat his body up.. Cotto could deal with Judah's, Mosley's speed so i think he can handle Clottey's, and Cotto took plenty of Margo's shots, and yes he did lose by KO due to the amount of punches he took, but did not get KO'd...so Clottey definitely won't be able to

    never said they do, but neways there's need need for u and the other handfull thinking Clottey'll beat Cotto to worry, all he has to do is at least look good when he loses, and I'm sure he'll get paid good money to fight again on Vs., yeah a rematch btwn. Him and Baldomir would be huge, and who knows he might even win this time, U know since Baldomir ain't ben he same since his epic war with Clottey and all

    Keep thinking Clottey's gonna lose. Like I said, we can make any kinda ESB bet if you wanna go that route. I'm glad you got confidence in a dude who said "I'll never clinch" but took a knee when the going got tough.
