Mosley vs Clottey, Arum is Interested in The Fight

[joseph5620]

Mosley fighting Clottey makes no sense at all, he's the man in the Welterweight division. Why would he fight a guy who is just coming off a loss? He should fight Berto or Williams if he can't get Manny,Cotto,Floyd.

Agreed. The Clottey fight only benefits Arum which is why he's pushing for the fight.

thank you for the props, and good points on the cotto/clottey fight. i think clottey can get a shot at berto and beat him. berto needs to step up and defend that wbc strap. fighting jww's like urango is not a real ww title defence vs a ww contender.

I agree that Berto needs to fight a welterweight contender, beating Urango did not prove much. Berto and Mosley are both fighters that like to throw a lot of punches, I think Clottey style is perfect for these guys to outwork him. He is very defensive and does not throw a lot of punches, which in the end hurts him because he gets outworked. Its too bad cause Clottey does have pretty good hand speed. He needs to use them more

High risk no reward. This could look like the winky wright fight. But maybe easyer because clotey's work rate is crap

I'd love to see Clottey get paired up with Berto. Berto's constant holding and mugging makes him one of the few boxers that I must admit I have a clear bias against. I'd love for a stand-up guy like Clottey to clean him out.

Yea, but I doubt Mosley will be.

Why wouldn't he.

Clottey is easy work for Shane.

[F l i c k e r]

Hell yeah. Give it to Clottey. He deserves the big fights. Mosley is definately a big fight. He can even earn a title and get the REAL decision he deserves against Cotto in MGM or Staples.

[Deja_Vous]

I think Clottey would beat Shane in a close fight but on the cards in close round Shane could get the benefit of the doubt...

Stop posting.

Clottey can't beat Jack Mosley...let alone Shane.

Good fight

Clottey vs Mosely would be a good fight, but at this point in Mosely's career, he has earned the right to fight mega-fights only. After re-watching the Cotto/Clottey fight again, I am even more convinced, Clottey won the fight. As I read several of the posts after the fight, many people made interesting points. Punch landed stats are over-rated, but the one stat that tells definitively, how well a fighter has done is his punch accuracy, percentage-wise. Cotto 23%, Clottey 36%. This is the stat that tells you who did the most damage in the fight. When a fighter throws over 600 punches, such as Clottey and lands 36%, he has had one hell of a fight. When a fighter throws over 700 punches, such as Cotto, but lands at 23%, he's less than 1 out of 4, and if you include jabs in the 23% it's even more insignificant, while Clottey is much better than 1 out of 3. It's merely impossible to win a fight by 5 and 3 points, when you are outlanded by 13%. Decisions such as these are what destoys boxing, because if you are a casual fan, you can see they are interested in making the next fight(Pacman) before this one has even ended. I have 30 years of experience in watching boxing, so I know the sport like the back of my hand, and it has lost some of it's mustard, because of the politics, which ruin the beautiful sport. Clottey couldn't win a decision, because the next fight was already lined up, especially with the Mayweather fight cancelled. Bob Arum only cares about money, and he walks on the backs of fighters to produce it. Pac vs. Cotto, he wins either way, when there needs to be a rematch between Cotto and Clottey first. If Pac wants a fight then fight Marquez again, at 140,or make the match with Mosely at 147. If you can fight Oscar at 47, why not Shane? The welterweight division could have a tournament with the 8 best fighters, with the winners fighting each other. Imagine Pac, Mayweather, Mosely, Cotto, Clottey, Berto, Williams, and Margarito invloved in a tournament, with winner takes all. This is a dream,which will never occur. I hope Clottey gets a big fight, before the year ends, because he deserves it.

Mosley wouldn't be interested in the fight. It's high risk low reward. Clottey isn't a draw so there may not be as many interested in watching although the fight would look good on paper.

Its Clottey or nothing, until 210.
