Mosley will be facing for the first time in some time a fighter that has great defence! When you look at Mosley past fights you see that Mosley been facing guys with no defence what so ever. Look how Mosley look against Cotto (Underated defence) and Wright. Mosley got out box silly by both.
I expect Mosley to look all those 38 years old against Clottey.
Clottey fights in the same defensive style as Winky, but if he doesn't push the gas pedal late, he's gonna lose again. He needs to lay it all on the line and bring the fight to Mosley. He's bigger and stronger than Sugar and needs to show it if he wants to win.
Another thread to make Cotto look like God.
A thread to make Cotto look like god? Cotto already beat Mosley and Clottey I don't have to make him look like anything he does his work in the ring. Don't get butthurt because someone is making a solid case for Clottey.
how? clottey don't like throwing punches, especially late when he gases.
All Mosley will hit is gloves against Clottey. What Mosley did against Margarito won't work against Clottey.
mayorga also doesnt have the technical skills that clottey has, people need to stop talking about clottey's workrate constantly..have you watched more of his fights besides the one with cotto? he doesnt have a high workrate because he is a precision puncher, he makes his punches count and he picks his spots.
clottey's workrate also failed him in the margarito fight.
precision is all well n good, but he needs to work on finishing stronger.
he can't just put on the earmuff in rounds 11 and 12 and expect to win, especially against big name boxers.
u can't compare mayorga to clottey. mayorga even at 154 have decent power and his workrate is better than clottey.
2 things: workrate and richardson mayorga also doesnt have the technical skills that clottey has, people need to stop talking about clottey's workrate constantly..have you watched more of his fights besides the one with cotto? he doesnt have a high workrate because he is a precision puncher, he makes his punches count and he picks his spots.
Mosley was looking his age against Mayorga till the very end of the fight. He's 38 now and I wouldn't be surprised if he looks old against Clottey, plus he won't be able to stop him to save his performance. But like Silencers said, Clottey doesn't have the jab to bother Mosley. Should be a close fight, but I think Shane edges it. If not, he should retire.

Let me guess you say this everytime BHop fights too dont you
Shane is going to be just fine and Clottey is in for a rude awakening come Dec 26th
Hopkins is a freak of nature I don't say this everytimes he fights.
Cotto has much better timing than Mosley and it was hard as **** to penetrate Clottey's defence. All Mosley will hit is gloves and those 38 years old will beging to show up. I expect Mosley-Clottey to be an ugly ass fight but it will be fun to watch!

The thing with those 2 are that they have very, very good jabs which enabled them to offset Mosley, Clottey's jab while being good, is not on the same level as Wright's and Cotto's. And I think Richardson will help Mosley out quite a bit here moreso than even against Margarito because of his gameplans, Mosley won't just try to power-box his way to victory now.
That is a very good point, Clottey just doesn't have the timing or authority of a Cotto jab or Wright's but is still pretty solid. I think Clottey jab is solid enough to give Mosley some trouble, Clottey also throws good uppercuts.
How much does Shane have left? The Rock says enough to beat Joshua "I could've finished a bloody Cotto but am too much a pussy" Clottey. Clottey can't finish fights. Shane will beat Clottey.. especially if he has his balco cream cracker snacks.

He had a jab, i don't see how you beat prime DLH with no jab, moving up in weight.
Well what happen to that Mosley jab? All I see is some pitty pat jab this days. Steward said it in his fight with Cotto "Mosley is a fighter, not a boxer."
Clottey stands in front of Shane and gets beat to death. You cant use the Winky fight as an example. Winky is too heavy for Shane. Clottey is a welterweight and if he choses to stand in front of Shane like he stood in front of Margarito, Zab, and Cotto, Shane will be the first fighter to stop Clottey!!
Clottey weight in at 170 for a fight so he is heavy and his defence is top notch. No way Mosley KO Clottey.
Hopefully Clottey realises that he needs to step and go for the ko because he should know by now he isn't going to get a decision. He will whup Shanes ass if he does that.
You really think Mosley is a better boxer? Mosley is a fighter not a boxer. The man doesn't even have a jab.
