    Harder Fight For Mosley: Berto or Clottey?

    I know Im in the straight minority here but Ill say it all day & night. I really think people are sleeping on Berto strictly because the guys he's been fighting are Southpaws. A ton of guys struggle against Southpaws no matter what level theyre on. However, if you put him in the ring right now with a righty, I think he looks night & day. I know everyone will say that Clottey is the harder fight and it isnt even close but I totally disagree. There is a reason why Cotto & Shane havent been in a rush to fight this kid. I still think his trainer will probably keep him from being super elite but I bet anything that he gives Cotto or Mosley hell right now. Thats why I think Mosley will go with Clottey. Clottey is much easier for Mosley as he doesnt have enough speed and he puts on the muffs too much. He also will always be missing something.

    Berto will be young, hungery, and throwing lighting combos. Mosley doesnt want to deal with that right now. If he didnt have Naz in his corner then I would pick Berto all day but Naz makes Mosley the favorite and it may make Mosley kill him because Naz is 10x better than Berto's trainer. Just straight up man for man though, I think Berto gives Mosley hell and I would easily pick him over Cotto right now, easily. Seriously though, people need to stop jumping to conclusions when guys struggle with Southpaws. Its going to happened in most cases

    Clottey. He's stronger and brings a tight guard. SSM can take him cuz he ain't got the height or jab of Winky, but it's a tough one.

    Berto or anybody stands a better chance cuz of this longass layoff SSM been on. But I don't think Berto would stay strong the whole way. I think SSM would **** him up late in the fight. Collazo gave him hell without havin as much speed n power as SSM.

        Stylistically, I think berto creates more problems. I think Mosley can box Clottey's ears off if he wanted to. Berto kind of fights like mosley and hose fast hands and is willing to go toe to toe at times.

        I see mosley beating both though.

          Short term probably Berto because of his slightly better handspeed.

          For 12 rounds Clottey since he is a badass...and Berto is candyass.

            I don't think it's questionable. Clottey is a lot bigger than Mosley and I think Clottey would beat Mosley at this stage.

              Clotteys style is all wrong for Mosley. Berto would get smashed afer 6 rounds of speedy power boxing.

                I honestly think they both beat SSM, I'm not convinced that SSM is atop like others who are praising his win over Margarito. Margarito was softened up by both Cotto and lack of bricks.

                SSM is more like his fight with Mayorga. I think both fighters will give Mosley the business. I think CLottey will give him a bigger beatdown due to experience over Berto

                  LOL @ Berto having better handspeed or better anything than Clottey. I pick Clottey to beat Mosley, Berto would probly get KOd.
