Top Rank's Bob Arum has spoken with Golden Boy Promotions about the possibility of a unification bout between WBA champion Shane Mosley (46-5, 39KOs) and Joshua Clottey (30-2, 20KOs), who hold the IBF title. Arum says Golden Boy is open to a bout between Mosley and Clottey. The idea being discussed is for the winner of Mosley-Clottey to face the winner of the June rematch between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. The two winners would collide at the end of the year.

"They are open to the idea that Mosley fights with Clottey and the winner is the frontrunner to the winner of Cotto-Margarito. That fight [of the two winners] could take place in autumn, either in September or October," Arum told Primera Hora. 

Clottey is one the most avoided fighters at the welterweight limit. He was outboxing Margarito back in 2006 and appeared to be mounting a decent lead before he injured both hands, which allowed Margarito to take over the fight. He was due to have a rematch with Margarito last November, but that never happened. Margarito wanted more time to recover and relax after being involved in the tough July war with Cotto.
