Shane Mosley vs Joshua Clottey

Bump it up!

Im not here to argue but if mosley tries to knock out clottey hes gonna lose because at age 38 his stamina won't be as good.Clotteys defense is to good ya remember what happened to mosley agains winky.yes I know clottey isn't as fast or as god of a boxer as winky but I got clottey UD.It's not like this time hes gonna get slammed or hit to the back of head.I don't think clotteys workrate will be much of a factor in the fight because mosley is gonna be aggresive and clottey won't have to chase anyone.I like how most fo you doubting clottey.

Saw Mosley this weekend in Vegas and hes still in great shape and Clottey will lose by decision or maybe even get stopped late.

Even old Shane has too much speed for Clottey. I pick Mosley by a comfy UD.

Poll coming. Clottey can do it most likely by decision, not sure if Shanes holding tactics will get him a win though so hard to say but I think Clottey has more at this point than Shane.

If Shane doesn't put combinations together like the old Shane, he will start to fall behind in the cards and Clottey won't need to step on the pedal.

I think Clottey's unwillingness to step on the gas pedal will lose him the decision to Sugar Shane.

I have Clottey by Decision...this is another opportunity to do something at WW with another top guy...3 times the charm IMO. Clottey will put the pressure on Shane in this go around and if Shane looks for that one punch to knock out Clottey like Margarito he might fall behind on the cards and may never find the punch to knock Clottey out. Clottey has a serious beard but more serious is his defense and his handspeed. His handspeed was surprisingly better than I thought and made Cotto look slow in their fight. Looking for the upset in this fight.

I guess my feeling is that Clottey should win, but will find a way to lose.

mosely by corner stoppage

actually i think winky and clottey are completely different fighters, and im not saying the winky-mosley fights are a blueprint for clottey..im talking about mosley-clottey, THAT IS IT im not comparing winky to clottey, even if the winky-shane fights never happened i would still be making this same analysis for clottey-mosley. clottey doesnt "gas" in his fights, if you go back and watch the championship rounds in his fight with cotto he was throwing punches but wasnt throwing as many as earlier in the fight because cotto was RUNNING, not boxing, RUNNING there is a difference, you cant land punches if someone is running from you, so why throw and miss punches? if anyone "gassed" it was cotto, hence why he was running. and if your also referring to the clottey-margarito fight, im pretty sure you saw him whipping margarito's ass the first 4 or 5 rounds, and then all of the sudden he stopped throwing punches, because he hurt his hand which wasnt bullshit because he literally went from ripping margarito with combinations to not throwing punches at all. that is not a sign of gassing. clottey gases... or he does not know how to finish strong.

clottey has all the tools to beat shane but he wont get a decision in la like he didnt get it in ny. I think Clottey loses because Shane is simply too active.

obviously you're going off the winky/mosley fights. the problem is that winky was too big for mosley at 154 lbs. clottey is a big WW, but he aint no winky in skills or athleticism. winky can keep coming foward late in fights. clottey gases and doesn't know how to finish strong. actually i think winky and clottey are completely different fighters, and im not saying the winky-mosley fights are a blueprint for clottey..im talking about mosley-clottey, THAT IS IT im not comparing winky to clottey, even if the winky-shane fights never happened i would still be making this same analysis for clottey-mosley. clottey doesnt "gas" in his fights, if you go back and watch the championship rounds in his fight with cotto he was throwing punches but wasnt throwing as many as earlier in the fight because cotto was RUNNING, not boxing, RUNNING there is a difference, you cant land punches if someone is running from you, so why throw and miss punches? if anyone "gassed" it was cotto, hence why he was running. and if your also referring to the clottey-margarito fight, im pretty sure you saw him whipping margarito's ass the first 4 or 5 rounds, and then all of the sudden he stopped throwing punches, because he hurt his hand which wasnt bullshit because he literally went from ripping margarito with combinations to not throwing punches at all. that is not a sign of gassing.

anyone is beatable, im not overrating him at all, im stating facts that alot on here seem to either not want to accept or look at or just dont understand boxing. when i say timing i mean his jab, which is very good and he knows when to use it, everytime mosley leaves himself open hes going to get popped in the face with the jab. also clottey is going to smother mosley's punches on the inside because mosley is more of a wide puncher than a short puncher, mosley needs room to get his punches off and when he does find room clottey's defense is going to be there and mosley wont be able to get off any punches. you need to catch clottey in the exchanges, which requires good timing which mosley lacks. cotto has good timing and could barely find any opportunity to get off punches on clottey. mosley has explosive power and good handspeed but he has poor defense and doesnt have good timing skills and gets easily frustrated if things dont go his way. now im not saying a KO win isnt a possibility for mosley because he hits hard and anything can happen. but im breaking down there styles and how they are going to clash, and i see clottey outpointing mosley, especially at this point in mosley's career, cause i feel he is more past his prime than the general public and media think so. obviously you're going off the winky/mosley fights. the problem is that winky was too big for mosley at 154 lbs. clottey is a big WW, but he aint no winky in skills or athleticism. winky can keep coming foward late in fights. clottey gases and doesn't know how to finish strong.

you are seriously overrating clottey. clottey is tough, but he's proven to be beatable. anyone is beatable, im not overrating him at all, im stating facts that alot on here seem to either not want to accept or look at or just dont understand boxing. when i say timing i mean his jab, which is very good and he knows when to use it, everytime mosley leaves himself open hes going to get popped in the face with the jab. also clottey is going to smother mosley's punches on the inside because mosley is more of a wide puncher than a short puncher, mosley needs room to get his punches off and when he does find room clottey's defense is going to be there and mosley wont be able to get off any punches. you need to catch clottey in the exchanges, which requires good timing which mosley lacks. cotto has good timing and could barely find any opportunity to get off punches on clottey. mosley has explosive power and good handspeed but he has poor defense and doesnt have good timing skills and gets easily frustrated if things dont go his way. now im not saying a KO win isnt a possibility for mosley because he hits hard and anything can happen. but im breaking down there styles and how they are going to clash, and i see clottey outpointing mosley, especially at this point in mosley's career, cause i feel he is more past his prime than the general public and media think so.

people are going to be shocked..clottey will win with scores like 116-112 115-113..also dont be suprised if mosley gets put on his ass with a flash knockdown because of clottey's timing, which is underrated. and mosley's sometimes wild punches that leave him exposed wont help him in this fight..i cant believe how many people are so sold on mosley to win, people seem to wanna deny that clottey is a top tier fighter for some reason. dont be fooled by that margarito win, i dont much stock into that win considering margarito got caught trying to cheat and he all of the sudden looks like a D level fighter. also take into account that mosley 4 months previous to his fight with margarito had an extremely hard time with mayorga (i had mayorga winning up until the KO) who was washed up and never was anything special, he was nothing but a crude brawler. so yes in my opinion mosley is more past it than some realize, and hes also going to be coming off almost a year layoff when he gets into the ring with clottey, not good. you are seriously overrating clottey. clottey is tough, but he's proven to be beatable.

Mosley by decision.

I got Mosley by decision but Clottey is a very live underdog and I might have picked Clottey to win this fight before Mosley got together with Richardson because his gameplans with his father always seemed to be pretty much the same thing every fight and when that plan didn't work he'd become discouraged and lose, now with Richardson he'd have a plan A, B, C and D.
