What possible match ups do you see for the winner of Cotto vs Clottey?

[Replies: 50]
If Cotto wins I expect he'd have a bigger name fight than Clottey would due to Cotto having a bigger name in the sport. Either way this fight is huge for both fighters and I'm looking forward to see who they'll face, let me know what you think?

If Margarito comes back, I can see Clottey fighting him again. I see Cotto fighting Pacquiao. If he wins, maybe he'll fight Floyd at the Garden if Floyd gets past Marquez.

Cotto stands a good chance of beating any opponent put in front of him, period. This BS argument about him being washed up from a single loss is exactly that BS. Against Clottey he kept on fighting despite injury (caused by a Clottey foul) he kept coming forward and throwing punches. The argument that Clottey won is absurd first Clottey could never win complaining and whining the way he did in that fight it turns the judges off and second there was no killer instict in the guy, he had his opponent injured and never seized on it. The decision was a good one we can't continue to reward bad behavior in Boxing.

Against Mosley Cotto would win although it would be a tough fight Shane is older and truthfully in the Margarito fight he had him at a pyscological disadvantage with the unfolding had wrap controversy Antonio was not in the fight even before he got to the ring. Had it not been for this distraction (and after a good inspection) with nothing in his gloves the fight would have been far more competative & He could have won. In a 2nd fight Cotto would move around more and mix it up with some brawling for a win. Also although i respect and admire SM trainers lets not forget that Hopkins was under suspicion of taking steriods for a good portion of his carrer and he has refused to take several post fight urine test. So if the new training team means increased use of performance enchancing drugs then shame on Shane.

Manny is a superb fighter but in Cotto he would be facing a diffrent beast altogether. Cotto would never drain himself and come into the ring dehydrated like DLH did by fight time Cotto would be the bigger stronger man and here is where Manny could run into trouble, I'm betting Manny's punches won't have the same zip against a sturdier frame. and the bigger question is can Manny withstand a Cotto Punch? We'll have to see this one to see how it unfolds.

As for Floyds there is no way the PBF will engage Cotto in a head to head, running is the only option, peck and run will be the ticket to his success. If he should somehow get brave enough to try to mix it up will only serve to remind him why he retired in the 1st place. Floyd is the biggest fraud in Boxing today, I thats why his 1st fight will be against a much smaller man I hope Marquez kicks his ass.

But the Fight I want to see is the rematch with Margarito, I know Wilfredo Gomez and i know personally that one of the biggest hang ups he had was that he never got a chance to vindicate himslef against the great Salvador Sanchez. Margarito is Cotto's Sanchez he needs to get into the ring with this SOB and whip his ass to truly say he is back. Cotto is itching for this one more than any other fight out there. Even for less money this has become a matter of personal pride for him. We can never say for sure that Margo cheated although better judgement tells us he did. Cotto hasn't brought this matter up he simply wants to get back in there and kick this phony's ass and once he does that the rest of you can shut the F--K up once and for all. the man you criticize is a better man than any of you bitches.

Clottey gave the fight away by not being active enough and Ortiz dont have the stones to be a top competitor ever.

I thought Clottey won a very close one, but his inactivity makes it unlikely for anyone to enter the
streets and demonstrate on his behalf. He could've stopped Cottey had he thrown punches, so fuck him; he blew his chance.

By the way, Ortiz is never beating Cotto, period.

He'll never be KO'd by Clottey. Clottey is not a KO puncher. But the other two probably will.

Not, Antonio; not without stones in his gloves.

After seeing how shane mosley fights now with hopkins trainer he looks really sharp and accurate with his punches now, based on the way Cotto looked against clottey witch i had clottey winning the fight, Mosley would beat cotto fairly easily. Cotto isnt the same fighter any more regardles if Margarito's gloves were juiced or not, cotto could not Knock down Margarito he just kept comeing... anyways, cotto is still a good fighter, but i always looked at him at a B+ fighter not an elite fighter.

If cotto fights pacman, i realy hope that doesn't happen, because pacman will retire him...

ok about cotto vs clottey, i like cotto but he lost that fight thats if you really pay attention to the points i mean i watch the fight 3 times cotto did the same thing when he fought antonio which was run from round six if clottey would of put pressure from round six the outcome would be what antonio did to cotto, they rob clottey, after watching that fight 3 times i believe cotto would lose to mayweather, victor ortiz, and pac-man these fighters are the type that endurance is 100% and they move foward after round six and have more of a accurate hit, like i said i really like cotto but he lost it was not a convincing win at all
