Joshua Clottey is Ready For Any Version of Miguel Cotto

[skullduggery]

If there is a KO it will come in the side of Clottey, there is no way in hell Cotto will KO Clottey, not even to the body.

well y the hell not? anyone can be knocked the **** out. just ask margarito

50k cotto wins against clottey , straight up bet.. any takers?

[ShalafiV.2]

I have Clottey winning this one too. He is a warrior and just needs to be more active and aggressive. I think Clottey will own the inside work after a few rds

Quitto better don't leave his chin open for uppercuts because Clottey will rip his ass up.

Yeah, Cotto has a good left hook to the body but Clottey has ultra short, quick uppercuts that he can land all night (even when it looks like he does not even have room to throw)

Margarito's defense is sub par, Clottey ain't. Margarito worked Clottey's body all night and he didn't budge except for maybe a couple of times later in the fight since that was all Tony could hit through that tight ass defense of Clottey. Of course anyone can be knocked out but I still stand on my statement, Quitto won't be able to KO Clottey, there is a much more possibility for Quitto to get KO'd due to the loopholes on his defense and his proven glassy chin.

Exactly, even against Tony the short range punches Tony threw at Quitto ultimately paid the price on him. Quitto likes to eat uppercuts like arroz con gandules and mofongo all night long.

Tony has never really been known for his power, I think he's got above average power but he is not a KO machine, he wears you down and breaks you. He's an accumulation puncher, I think Quitto is more of an effective power puncher, meaning he lands more accurately and posses more speed, I think both of them have about the same power, Quitto with a little more edge.

As far as a cheater go, all I can say is that he was caught attempting to cheat against Mosley and that's that, I give him the benefit of a doubt and believe he honestly didn't know, but again that's just my opinion, his haters whoever will beg to differ, so believe whatever you want, only Tony and Capetillo know the truth to this.

Same scenario as in cotto/margacheato

This is exactly the same scenario when Cotto faced Margacheato. First, Marg wasn't that well known, not a star, but everyone knew that he was a tough and dangerous fighter, he wasn't a mandatory challenger so Cotto didn't need to fight him and take the risk. Second, Marg was also a champ and it was supposed to be an unification bout, what happened? Marg had to vacate his title so he could fight Cotto. Third, Cotto was already in talks for a possible superfight against Oscar(he said several times that he was considering Cotto) so what happened? Cotto got his first loss and with it, his big payday with Oscar. Then Oscar chose Pac and u all know the story. If you notice, is exactly the same scenario, Clottey is known for being a tough fighter but not a star, he had to vacate his title and Cotto is already being considered for superfight against Pacquiao for a good payday which he'll not get if defeated. I'm sure Cotto will be ready for 12 rounds he knows he cant afford to lose this one. Cotto have the power and skills to prevent history to repeat. Lets go bro!!!!

the chater thing isnt the point. the power behind his punches is wats at question. i just think its bit rediculous to think cotto cant knock clottey out to the body, when hes proven to have great body punches, and superb power as well
