Who would win Mosley vs Clottey ? and why

[disolly]

I personally think it would be a very close fight. I believe he has a tighter defense, which for me would be the deciding factor. On the other hand he does have the habit of giving away important rounds. If not for that, I think Clottey would win, in my opinion he is the better boxer and has just as good of a chin.
What do you guys think?

I think Clottey would win.

Mosley by decision or late TKO. Don't get me wrong I did score Cotto-Clottey in favor of Clottey, but do you honestly believe that he would have won without using his head? Other than the UFC technique Cotto did to steal round 6, he was backpedalling for a majority of the fight after the clash of heads. He couldn't fight the way he wanted to.

Mosley not only has power, but he has speed and will not try to punch Clottey's forearms for 12 rounds. He'll be attacking his body and trying to find ways to break through his shell.

The problem with Clottey is that he can't mix up his offense and defense. Either he's doing one or he's doing the other. I think the members of this forum overrate him because he beat Cotto. Before that fight, what did he really do? Struggle with a middle aged Chico? The one time he actually attacked a fighter was against Margo and he gased out after like 4 rounds and covered up afterwards while Margo set a compu box record on him. With two eyes Cotto would dominate him, Mayweather would box circles around him to a 120-108 decision, Mosley would dominate him and Pacquiao is probably going to TKO him.

I like the guy. He has potential, but he just can't mix it up and that's not gonna work against top level opposition.

I expect every Floyd hater to say Clottey would beat Mosley.

Well, its got nothing to do with floyd. I am kind of getting at who people think has the tougher fight , floyd or manny ? but ultimately i just want to see what other people think on who would win between those 2 guys. both floyd and manny have good tough fights ahead of them, and if they both win it makes their fight even better and more hyped.

clottey would do what winky did to mosley

[Mega Eggot]

Both solid-jawed fighters. I think Mosley would win via UD. Clottey shells up like Winky but won't have the southpaw angles or power that Winky brought. Clottey's not active enough. I think he'd have to consistantly stick the jab out to minimize Mosley's flury because if he has to rely on his uppercut, then that would just mean Shane is already close enough that he's racking up crowd-pleasing power shots. A long night for Clottey.

Clottey wins imo.

Mosley is open for punches outside of Clotteys shell. His pawing jab that he uses to set everything up just doesn't work well againts it. Mosley has never looked good against defenses beit average or great.

I think Shane would tee off on Clottey and win a close(ish) UD.

I expect every Floyd hater to say Clottey would beat Mosley.

Actually a couple of Floyd fans like Dominicano Soy and Ray have told me that they think Clottey would beat Shane...

So I don't know why you think Floyd haters will say Clottey? Matter of fact why are Floyd fans so paranoid? Really, this question has to do more between Shane-Clottey than Floyd.
