I gotta go with Clottey. Mosley was losing the entire fight with Cotto until the latter rounds. I understand that Cotto was cut the entire fight with Clottey, but Clottey was not even expected to win against Cotto. he was way below the las Vegas betting odds. For the Cotto-Mosley bout, the LV betting odds were pretty even so it was expected to go either way. But who knew that Cotto would be pushed to his limit against Clottey who wasnt even given a chance to survive by many pass the 10th round. In my opinion, Cotto is a better fighter than Mosley, and I did lost a bit of respect for Mosley with the steroid scandal. Cotto beat Mosley by at least 2-3 rounds. Plus Mosley landed less punches, jabs, and power shots, while Clottey landed more jabs and punches except the power shots. plus Clottey had a better connection percentage while Mosley's speed were hindered by Cotto's relentless pressure. I gotta go with Clottey on this!
Soul to Squeeze
I will have to say Mosley. Through the entire fight he fought just about every single second of it. Not Only that but he didnt complain about the defeat and took it like a man. Clottey on the other hand would stay on the ropes and just let cotto pound away. Then in the later rounds he just refused to throw punches. Clottey could have won but he just stopped throwing punches.
And i thought the mosley/cotto was far more exciting then cotto/clottey fight

It was Mosley. Clottey got lucky that Cotto got a cut, otherwise Cotto would have destroyed him! Mosley fought towards the end and if there are any openings or advantages, Mosley looked for it and took advantage. Clottey was a weak fighter. He had a chance to win but he didnt do enough. He had Cotto on the ropes but he didnt throw any punches! Cotto actually won that fight fair and square!

Despite the last couple of rounds, I still believe that Clottey looked more impressive in the fight with Cotto. If Clottey wouldn't have slacked off in the last couple of rounds, he would have finished Cotto in a bloody fashion.

I think Clottey LOOKED more impressive but wasn't, Clottey could of won that fight, but didn't do enough, it's like he was scared,i mean there was rounds where it looked like Mayweather vs Gatti, and Clottey was Mayweather. But like i said, some rounds...., Clottey could of won, but didn't do enough, Mosley was doing everything in his power to win, but just couldn't pull it off, I think Clottey looked more impressive, but Mosley was more impressive as he fought with his all,.
