Shane vs clottey: Who wins?

[Omega Red]

When Pacquiao-Clottey was announced there was a sense of relief due to the bitterness the Maywheather-Pacquiao negotiations left on all of boxing. Everyone, including myself,was excited at the intrigue such a fight would bring. Pacquiao, the loveable guy, with his relentless and powerful style versus Maywheather, public enemy numero uno,the ultimate pugilist and arguably the best pure boxer this generation has produced. Unfortunately, we all know how it all fell apart. It seemed as if Pacquiao had found a legitimate dance partner in Clottey and Floyd was left out in the rain. Now, With the possibility of Maywheather-Mosley there is much debate regarding who has the toughest challenge,who is facing the better fighter, or better yet, which is the better fight? Looking at Mosley's and Clottey's resume won't answer that questions,as Sugar has faced better competition, and is a sure HOF'r. On the other hand, Clottey is a very good fighter, with good defense and decent power, but what are the chances he'll ever see Riverside or Canastota? However,with that being said, Mosley's best days are behind him and has been inactive since the Margarito fight. So, if the 2010 Mosley were to fight Clottey, who wins the fight? Please support your choice with sound logic.

look shane is the better fighter yet i think he would have a hard time beating clottey due to styles but he would end up with a very close sd

Clottey will kill shane

Mosley lost a split decision against Cotto.

Clottey lost a split decision against Cotto.

I think Mosley wins but it'll be nowhere near as 1 sided as *****s claim.


People also forget that just 2 fights back Mosley was literally 2seconds away from losing a UD against Mayorga.

How were you able to respond just as I submitted the poll? BTW,why do you believe Shane wins?

[BLooDCalibuR]

Skill and ability-wise, combined with chances of winning vs different types of opponents-wise, I'd have to rank them with something like the following....

Mosley > Berto (or maybe the other way around, this one's hard to figure out to a comfortable level) > Clottey

And despite Mosley losing to Cotto, I'd have to say Mosley has a slightly higher chance of doing better against Pacquiao OR Mayweather than Cotto did. Styles make fights. Gotta analyze things down to the finest details.
