    clottey gases... or he does not know how to finish strong.

        I guess my feeling is that Clottey should win, but will find a way to lose.

          I have Clottey by Decision...this is another opportunity to do something at WW with another top guy...3 times the charm IMO. Clottey will put the pressure on Shane in this go around and if Shane looks for that one punch to knock out Clottey like Margarito he might fall behind on the cards and may never find the punch to knock Clottey out. Clottey has a serious beard but more serious is his defense and his handspeed. His handspeed was surprisingly better than I thought and made Cotto look slow in their fight. Looking for the upset in this fight.

            I think Clottey's unwillingness to step on the gas pedal will lose him the decision to Sugar Shane.

              If Shane doesn't put combinations together like the old Shane, he will start to fall behind in the cards and Clottey won't need to step on the pedal.

                Clottey can do it most likely by decision, not sure if Shanes holding tactics will get him a win though so hard to say but I think Clottey has more at this point than Shane.

                  Even old Shane has too much speed for Clottey. I pick Mosley by a comfy UD.

                    Saw Mosley this weekend in Vegas and hes still in great shape and Clottey will lose by decision or maybe even get stopped late.

                      Im not here to argue but if mosley tries to knock out clottey hes gonna lose because at age 38 his stamina won't be as good.Clotteys defense is to good ya remember what happened to mosley agains winky.yes I know clottey isn't as fast or as god of a boxer as winky but I got clottey UD.It's not like this time hes gonna get slammed or hit to the back of head.I don't think clotteys workrate will be much of a factor in the fight because mosley is gonna be aggresive and clottey won't have to chase anyone.I like how most fo you doubting clottey.
