    Mosley plans on moving back down to 147 afterwards I believe.

      For the record, I don't know either but I'm assuming the same.

        assuming he gets by Judah and picks up the IBF belt, Clottey will have a bit more leverage as to getting the fights he wants

        instead of targeting P-Will or Margarito .. why doesn't Joshua go after Berto?

        although Andre might have to face Luis Collazo in the near future.

          I agree I could definitely see him having success at 154.

            I'm not sure Berto or his people feel he is ready for Clottey.

              Didnt you see the article where Arum was talking about matching Cotto up with Clottey if he won?

              Clottey is bigger and he's durable too, but he also disappears in fights, and leaves his body WIDE open. I can see Cotto putting on his boxing shoes again, and slowly breaking Clottey down with body punches.

                Actually I have seen it and Cotto did not win.

                  cuz if he gets a shot a margarita he'll tag him up...dont try 2 shy him away he's good @ 147...

                    Why would he get it shot at Margarito?
