Will Cotto's Body Shots Affect Clottey?

[krispy kreme]

Correction he had difficulty stopping MArgarito and Mosley but he definitely hurt both of them. Did you see Margarito's face after the fight. Wow! and Mosley was hit with enough hard shots to make him back track, bounce around and box for the middle of the fight. The thing about Mosley is he has a big heart, a great chin, very sturdy and versatile. The thing about Margarito is he HAS CONCRETE in his.......chin.

That could be true, but my point is, he hadn't done to Mosley and Margarito what he did to Quintana and Judah, who were smaller (maybe not Quintana so much weight wise). Clottey is just as big as Mosley and Margarito, so I'm not so sure Cotto will seriuosly hurt or stop him.

I'm not sure Clottey is much larger than Cotto in the sense that he can walk Cotto down.

The size issue gets thrown out the window automatically if you're not a pressure fighter (which Clottey isn't)

This isn't aimed towards you specifically, but people saying that Clottey walks Cotto down in my belief have really never seen an actual Joshua Clottey fight.

HAHAHAHA

But u dont use that logic for Floyd-JMM...When Floyd is the complete opposite of a pressure fighter and hes the smallest WW.

LMAO

I'm gonna say it again. Body shots affect everyone. Clottey will feel body shots like anyone else.

The problem is whether he can get a body rhythm. I think it depends on how high Clottey holds his guard. If Cotto doesn't get Clottey's respect with punches to the head, Clottey will pick off body punches with his elbows. If he respects Cotto's power, he might have to hold his guard up high which would open up his body.

I think that'll be one of the most interesting storylines of the fight.

I don't think there's anything wrong with quitting and saying you had enough. It's a lesson called Humility. Everyone one time or another goes through it.

my point wasn't that cotto quit, it was that even though he busted up margo he still lost

The only issue I have with that is Clottey hasn't been in with a fighter like Cotto who's body attack is without question one of the best in the biz on top of his overall offensive skills. I believe Clottey is strong, but he also hasn't been fighting very tough competitors as of late nor has he visibly hurt anyone with significance in comparison to Cotto and the guys he's already fought.

very tough fight, but like a friend of mine said...this could be a "Reminder" fight for many who believe Cotto has peaked as a fighter.

Both great Post.

People are sleeping on Cotto just because of the Margarito fight.

People will be shock at how easy Cottto will make this look!!!!!!!!

To answer the TS question,

Yes they will. Cotto is heavy handed and I dont care who you ae if you get hit to the body, you will feel it.

CLottey holds a High guad wich welcomes body punches. Cotto is the best body puncher in the sport, and with power too.

Clotteys power wont affect Cotto, I guarantee you after Cotto senses that Clottey cant hurt him, he will go destuction mode, like he did against Branco and Abdullaev, wich fight similar to Clottey and both got TKO by Cotto.

People are putting to much on Clottey being stonger than Cotto and Clottey walking down Cotto, wich neither is accuarate, because Cotto is as strong, and when was the last time Clottey walk somebody down? let alone of the caliber of Cotto. Hids last Ko was in 2005.

Cotto got this UD orr late rounds TKo!!!!!!!!!!
