POLL: Cotto vs Clottey

[The Surgeon]

Peeps are acting like Cotto has won this already but this is a Big fight in its own right and is a tough pick IMO!
So vote who u think wins and id appreciate it if u could break it down why u think that lads, cheers


Heres my take it go's the full distance with Cotto taking a close but clear decision, it will be hard fough and gruelling at times, a better tougher version of the Cotto vs Ndou fight mabey.
Clottey is Rock solid and will not be getting stopped his defence is first rate on top of his naturall toughness even if his gaurd is a touch high at times, he can weigh up to 170lb come fight night and will match Miguel for strength. He is a good 12 round fighter as is Cotto and i think he may be the stronger man down the strech even if some feel he fades on here.
His uppercut is a worry as its a punch Miguel is open for (or if u beleive the ****e on here the right hand, straight left and right hook! pfft) Up in close where this fight will be fought at times he has the strength and body work to trade with Cotto but Ultimatley i think Miguel Cotto will know when to box him from range, countering and stuff and when to mix it up inside with him, Clottey takes breaks and go's to sleep in fights and Miguel will capitalize on that, Cotto's variety, flair and greater imagination will see him through on points for a Quality if not spectacular win in a very good fight


Please share ur take

I hope Cotto wins, I like him alot more then Clottey. But Clottey will gain my respect if he does pull off the mild not much of an upset off. Tough fight for both of them, both have tools to cause the other one trouble.

If Clottey keeps punching he has a helluva chance but if he sits tight behind his high guard and takes rounds off, Cotto will win an easy decision.

I think Cotto wins but it obviously wont be easy. I think that the best weapon Cotto will use is his left hook to the body (as always). Clottey defending his face and Cotto abusing the body. Clottey's offense will probably be counter punching at its best. Sorry if I looked like Mr. Obvious for a moment

Dont tell people about this. They act like there is no fight for Cotto. Every single time in boxing that fans talk about one guy running from another then there guy always gets beat. Everyone is talking about Floyd being scared of Cotto then Margarito taxed his ass and Clottey could easily do the same. Then there will be some other excuse to not give credit. Clottey aint no joke and he's going to give Cotto hell. Cotto also has no chance to hurt him let alone stop him like so many are saying

a lot of people are picking cotto to lose.personally, i think cotto's stamina is a little better than clottey's (even though both could improve in that area).i doubt clottey wears the plaster in this fight . i think it will be a pretty competitive fight, but in the end cotto wins a comfortable ud.

and you are always here with your long winded rants to say other wise.clottey give cotto hell? when has clottey ever given anybody hell?a blown up corrales?
i like clottey.but he ain't no destroyer.he's a pretty complete fighter that doesn't necessarily have anything that blows any fighter away.

CLOTTEY AND MARGARITO ARE CARBON COPIES HUH.

people like you always have something bad to say about other fighters you aint busy slobbing over then you complain about others doing what you do.you never give a concise argument about anything.all you do is ***** about the other fighter, and how "his fans" so and so this, and so and so that.

ATLEAST MENTION CLOTTEY'S STRAIGHT RIGHT, OR HIS UPPERCUT.
YOU SWING FOR THE FENCES WITH THIS BITTER FANBOY BULL****.

please.

i choose cotto on points only reason is clottey by june 13 will be off 10 months and change. i see clotteys determination keeping him going the distance but being unaffective because of the long layoff. otherwise it will be a hard call to make.

[SkillspayBills]

Clottey aint getting knocked out for ****. I say Cotto by decision, pretty close but it won't be disputed that Cotto won.

[MANGLER]

Based on styles, Clottey can beat Cotto if he brings 12 rd stamina. This is his biggest fight, and I think he will.
