Mosley should stay away from Clottey.

    P4P Mosley is better, but I think the style Clottey has is the absolute worst style for Mosley. The tight guard, the good defense, the good timing, and the fact the he fights in spurts, and throws flashy accurate shots. I think Mosley beats all the current WW's, btu he would look bad and lose to Clottey IMO.
    I agree Clottey's style is wrong for Mosley, but its a pick em fight. I doubt they would take this fight unless Mosley got enough money.

      It could go either way really, depends on the eye of the beholder. Niether guy is going to win by knockout, and both guys would present problems for the other.

      In the end I would favor Mosley because I believe he is overall mentally tougher then Clottey and he would find a way to pull out the win.

        Bad match-up for Mosley. Clottey would probably win by UD. It seems that all Mosley does now is load up on his punches...then again he has faced 2 punching bags in a row but looked awful against one of them.

          I think Mosley would beat Clottey, but he might struggle with him and the pay wouldn't be worth the trouble. I actually think Mosley should move up to 160 and fight Pavlik. That is probably his biggest money option. Arum probably doesn't think Pavlik could beat Mosley though, so the fight will likely never happen. Lol.

            It would be a tough fight for Mosley, but Mosley beats him. Cotto did beat both boxers and struggled against both, more so with Clottey, but I think a lot of that had to do with the cut eye.

              Mosley would just have to be aware of clotteys headbut its the best in the game lol besides that i got Mosley by UD or possibly KO. cotto was able to keep clottey on the ropes for over 2 minutes mosley would do the same but inflict more damage during that time.

                I'd favor Clottey to win a close decision but I could also see Shane flat out outworking him...

                Shane goin to work on Clottey but gettin caught every now and then wit clean easy to see shots.

                I'd favor Clottey by SD...

                    If Clottey's workrate was a lot better, he'd rule the welterweight division.
