I agree, it is a toss up.
People just never realized mosley thinks too much though. His "jittery" style, is really him fainting. And his pawing jab, is just so you don't see the right hand coming, or try to block the jab, and get hit with something.
Everything he does, the flailing of his hands, jittering, pawing jab, it's all to try and make an opening so he can actually throw.
Floyd never once fell for his antics and when shane took the risk and just threw, he missed, then clinched. It slowed his workrate down dramatically, as it usually does in situations like this.
Whenever i watch mosley fight, I always get the feeling that he looks "confused". It's usually because you can actually 'see' him thinking. He thinks too much.
Its why i favor clottey against him. His antics wont work against the stubborn guard and I highly doubt clottey would stay in his shell. People seriously forget how clottey fights after the pacman fight. Just to paint a more vivid picture. Winky was averaging 800+ a fight in his last 5 prior to Williams, had even thrown 1100 against Quartey. he fights Paul williams and throws 450. Activity is what kept clottey in his shell. he opened up against the hard hitting cotto.
It's very possible though, Clottey woudl fall for mosleys antics, the twitching, fainting, pawing jab, and never open up because he doesn't know when the hard punch will actually come.
