Joshua Clottey Plans To Bring The Fight To Miguel Cotto

[TOBYLEE1]

Clottey is a solid fighter but has a high defense which invites to many body blows, he does have a solid chin and good stamina but don't know how he will react with a solid body attack(Margarito slowed him down a bit that way). Also Clottey has slow feet and would not create a problem by moving around which sometimes Cotto gets very uncomfortable with. Good match up and we shall see how Cotto's head is if Clottey applies constant pressure till the later rounds.
Clottey's fight against Judah tells alot about him, don't think he will have the power to keep Cotto off but does have the hand speed to keep it interesting. Hope he doesn't hurt his hands during the fight

clottey does not have the stamina to pressure all fight.

clottey does not have the stamina to pressure all fight.

exactly. he's demonstrated that, so no one should think that he will be a reborn fighter that dominates a whole new style of putting pressure effectively. that's called dreaming

[KING 2K10]

damn!! cotto is just going thru the list...torres,Judah,Mosley,Margarito(even though he lost,cotto still looked good in that fight)...and now Clottey...wow!! I dont see how anyone could hate on him..He fights them all

Mayweather TALKS. What he says doesn't line up, so it causes controversy.
He does it to promote himself.
He doesn't even mean what he says. In your video he claims to be the best.

In this video he says 'it's not about proving who the best is':


Props to whoever posted this:
[imo i think floyd purposely ducked top wws. think bout it he paid his way out of marg fight. then shane was next in line so after the baldi fight floyd say he retired so shane fights collazo. right aftr that fight was anounced floyd schedules dlh. shane calls floyd out during the post presser but was screaming im retired. shane & cotto schedule a fight next thing u know floyd fighting hatton. it was rumored winner fights winner. cotto beat shane. floyd zzzzzzd hatton. floyd retired again. all the top wws in talks again & while every body tied up cotto/marg, pwill/quintana, shane/zab & mayo. next thng u know floyd talking bout a 2nd fight with dlh & hatton. luckily them fights didnt happen. now he talking bout he shopping for fights but it aint shane or cotto. its the pacman/hattn winner.]

Don't be selective as to what Cotto said. In addition to what you posted he also said:
"We’re rivals,” “Mayweather is a star of the sport and we’re in the same company. Mayweather was a great champion at 130 and 135. We don’t know about 140. When the company says the time is right to make the fight, I’ll fight him. I think it's a good fight. I know Mayweather's a great fighter. But I know I can beat him."


Go ahead and defend your favorite boxer. But while you do it, don't even TRY coming down on Cotto to elevate Floyd. Cause Cotto's still in the game and willing to fight ANYONE. Where's Mayweather? "Retired" - which is a clever way of defending himself OUTSIDE the ring.

Main point: Cotto's not ducking.

Why would you even post this video after the exposing of Antonio Margarito? WE ALL KNOW that Margarito would NOT have beat Floyd Mayweather Jr on his worst day no matter how much you try to say Floyd ducked him. I saw this whole Video not just the Bias section. Margarito came over to Floyd and ask to fight him and Floyd said "I'm focusing on big money fights right now. Keep doing your thing making a name for yourself and we'll fight down the line and it will be greater later" this was when Floyd was chasing a fight with Oscar De La Hoya, why would he want Antonio Margarito?

That whole campaign of him SUPPOSEDLY ducking Margarito was *****ed up by Bob Arum. Why would Floyd have to prove he is the best when he was the the best? Margarito needed to prove that he was the best & he didn't accomplish nothing at that point in his career. On top of that, look what happened when Paul Williams out boxed him? & you really think Floyd would get beat by Margarito? PLEASE. 37 year old Mosley beat the crap out of Margarito & exposed him, you guys are really reaching.

You have a picture of Floyd as a chicken running from Cotto but in the video I posted Floyd told Cotto to come see him & Cotto NEVER did? sorry buddy not buying Floyd was scared of Cotto. Everyone want to excuse Cotto for not calling out people but talk about Floyd for not fighting Cotto but if Cotto wanted the fight he should have pushed for it. Also after he beat Jennings and was calling guys out he didn't mention Floyd? Mosley did? Cotto NEVER wanted none & it was plain as day to see that.

PS
I already posted the Shane Mosley excuse on why he ducked
Floyd Mayweather JR. Floyd wanted to fight him after the 2nd Vargas fight but Mosley said he had to get his tooth fixed & go on vacation. Jin (HIS WIFE & MANAGER) NEVER wanted Shane to
Fight Mayweather Jr and that's a FACT.

I think people expect Cotto to be Trinidad and be vocal about who he wants to fight, but that's never been his style.He doesn't much care for the limelight and really looks at Boxing as his job.

Anyone would be crazy to think Floyd easily walks over Cotto, but there's nothing that they can really do that's going to get under his skin to entice some type of drama which Floyd is king at. The worst thing Cotto probably does is just rebut with "We will have to see come fight night"

Check how he was against Zab when Zab was talkin ****...

I hear you but how can people excuse Cotto for not being Vocal about fighting people but say that Floyd is scared because he didn't call out Cotto? That's a double standard. I provided on this thread a video post that has Floyd saying
"I would love to fight Miguel Cotto" & "Tell Cotto to come talk to me" & "Cotto is always calling out other people then why don't he call me out" & "He know what it is, tell him to come talk to me I'M HIS BOSS MR. HBO" & Cotto didn't get at him after that? Come on man, At least if he thought Floyd was bluffing he should have made an effort and stepped out of his shell.

That Video shows that Floyd threw his hat in the ring, better yet gave Miguel Cotto an invitation to fight him & Cotto NEVER took it? How can you say Floyd is scared? I never seen Cotto talking like that about Floyd. Cotto may have said he can beat him when asked but he NEVER challenged Floyd? If Cotto would have called Floyd out or even stepped to him and said "I want to fight you" & Floyd made an excuse then I would be like OK something is up but the fact that neither pushed the issue then it shows that the fight wasn't meant to happen.

yes is true, but there is also something call luck and Floyd had it when the judges gave him the first Castillo fight and then again with Judah, the other problem is that Floyd never wanted to fight the top guys and all because of money so I give credit to Floyd for is talent and skills but not for calling him self p4p best and still ducking the best guys because of money. If he was that good, why he didnt fight Mosley, Cotto, Williams...

People are really crazy.

[NYCHeavyHitz]

When Floyd was #1 p4p Cotto didn't call him out...PERIOD...!

SO WHY CALL OUT MANNY now that he's #1?????????????????????

Don't be a hypocrite..

If Cotto could call out Manny he should have called-out Floyd.

Cotto didn't want anything to do with Mayweather..that's why he FORGOT Floyd's name everytime HBO put a camera in his face.

Cotto didn't have to mention Mayweather's name. The fans wanted it, Bob Arum wanted it, Cotto says he'll fight whoever his promoter puts in front of him, so how does that make him scared of Mayweather, or anybody for that matter?

When asked if he would fight Cotto after the Hatton fight, Mayweather immediately answered, "I wanna retire on my own terms, I don't want boxing to retire me", DID HE NOT?

[D.I.E.S.E.L]

Bring the Pain Clottey. Make him Quit. Again.

[GRUSTLER]

You guys are blind on purpose.......

Cotto didn't have to mention Mayweather's name. The fans wanted it, Bob Arum wanted it, Cotto says he'll fight whoever his promoter puts in front of him, so how does that make him scared of Mayweather, or anybody for that matter?

When asked if he would fight Cotto after the Hatton fight, Mayweather immediately answered, "I wanna retire on my own terms, I don't want boxing to retire me", DID HE NOT?

You guys are funny!! I post Videos of Floyd Mayweather Jr saying "Cotto don't want none and tell him to come talk to me" and you ignore it. Then I post another video with Roger Mayweather basically saying that they were considering Miguel Cotto and to him he is a weak fighter and you guys continue to say Floyd was scared of that dude? PLEASE. They were waiting for him to get past Antonio Margarito to make it an even bigger fight & Cotto couldn't do it. You said everyone wanted the fight right? Arum & The fans?

But Cotto didn't want it!! Damn man you guys are Hypocrites. In boxing history fighters have been calling each other out to get ahead in boxing & all of a sudden it's OK for Cotto to sit back and let fights come to him? That's a load of Crap! Fact is Cotto NEVER CALLED FLOYD OUT!! Not once. Why don't you watch the videos at the time I referred & live with the truth & that is Cotto had his shot & dropped the ball with the Margarito fight and overall didn't want it.

Maybe Floyd would not have retired if Cotto had a sack & called him out after a fight like Hatton did. Trying to persuade people the greatest technician in this era of boxing was scared of a guy that has been hit & wobbled in every fight & couldn't even beat a slow 1 dimensional fighter like Margarito? Cotto doesn't even display a tight defensive game plan & he is supposed to beat the most accurate puncher/counter puncher in the sport? Cotto is supposed to knock out the best defensive fighter in the sport who felt power in 5 divisions from bigger punchers/fighters than Cotto? GET REAL.
