Chief trainer would be Godwin Kotey of Bukom, Ghana. Clottey last worked with Kotey in 2004. “Godwin is a very famous trainer in Ghana,” said Vinny Scolpino, manager of Clottey. “This is the trainer Joshua has been asking for to prepare for Pacquiao. It will be Godwin who puts together our game plan.” Kotey will arrive into New York on Friday night. Team Clottey will then prepare to head for training headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Pacquiao vs. Clottey is scheduled March 13 and will be available on HBO Pay Per View.

I’m not sure Cotto quit, he was running in the last couple of rounds but he was still fighting back and showed true heart. Nothing but respect for Cotto.

But yeah I agree that Clottey is tougher than Cotto and could hold up that defense longer than Cotto.
