Shane vs clottey: Who wins?

[murmagic]

the poll wasnt up when i replyed. from both of their last fights clottey lost a SD yes but i think he is a very lazy fighter at times and shane has the speed and work rate to give clottey many problems.

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.

Your right. I recall how fortunate Shane was to win that fight in the closing seconds. But remember that Shane has a much better trainer in ****m and also the fact that Shane probably lacked the motivation to train properly just to face an overmatched Mayorga. Just look at the difference between the Shane that fought Mayorga and the Shane that pulverized Margarito. Shane would definitely be better prepared for Clottey.

Styles make fights. Mosley lost to Cotto and Clottey almost beat Cotto. While Margarito was beaten by Shane, Clottey was beating Margarito too until he broke his hand.

Clottey does have a nice jab like Forrest, and a shell-like defense ala Winky, but will that be enough to beat Shane? Probably not a prime Mosley, but the version that lost to Cotto and had a hard time with Collazo, probably yes IMO.

we're talking about a margarito that perhaps for the 1st time lost the ability to hurt his opponent whatsoever because his plater hand wraps had been removed.

And no matter how you look at it Mayorga is a better fighter than Margarito. All Margarito ever really had going for him was that he's a really tough S.O.B. that just always kept coming.

Mosley would probably win by decision, the tight guard that Clottey has could frustrate him at times like Winky's did but Clottey doesn't have the jab or the consistency of Wright.

Hard time with Collazo? WTF?

I think that Shane is a better fighter now that ****r is in his corner.He is a smarter trainer than Jack Mosley.Shane looked like his old self in his last fight and much more confident.Shane still has his hand speed and still KO power in both hands.(Just ask Margarito and Miyorga.)Even though the fight with him and Miyorga was close,Shane proved that his power is still at full tilt in the last rounds,which makes him very dangerous until the last bell rings.With his hand speed, work rate, power, and overall skill,I see him beating Clottey by ud.And with his experience and stamina in championship fights, he could possibly get the KO.

Clottey was winning the fight,just barely. By the way, Clottey did not break his hands. He complained of having pain and discomfort,but whether he hurt his hands or not it doesn't matter he lost the fight. Clottey did clearly win the first few rounds,but Margarito has always been a slow starter. Even more important is the fact that Clottey always finds a way to lose big fights. Shane on the other hand destroyed Margarito. Although we know for sure Margarito didn't have an unfair advantage for the Mosley fight,we have now way of knowing if he did have extra padding aiding his victory over Clottey.

You state that "no matter how you look at it Mayorga is a better fighter"
Mayorga being a better fighter than Margarito is debatable. In my estimation, Margarito is a better all around fighter, but everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Why do you so strongly believe Mayorga to be a better fighter? what skills does he possess that so greatly and clearly distinguish him from Margarito. If anything, I'd say they have a similar style
