let me get this straight: Clottey Vs Mosely at 147 lbs. Who wins and why?

John...I agree and disagree with you. Clottey is very tough and has never been knocked out so I see him making it to the finish line. He just wont be triumphant. Mosley wins this fight on experience...having been in with the more superior competition. Since Clottey will predictably fight coming forward, Mosley will be able to know what he is doing and use his speed to beat him to the punch. Mosley's speed will also make him hard to find and when Clottey does find him Shane can take it. Shane, too, has never been knocked out. So both make it to the end, but when they get there Joshua Clottey would be more beat up. MOsley UD

Anyone who can outwork and take Clottey's power can win. I think Mosley can do both plus he's fast, strong, fundamentally sound, etc.

Clottey's shell is limiting him and elite fighters can take advantage of it. If Clottey learned something from the Cotto fight and somehow adjusts his fighting style, he can give Mosley a legit fight.

Basing it on their last fight, Mosley wins by late TKO or UD.

Mosley, because despite being out boxed by Clottey in the early rounds Mosley would be the fresher and more active boxer towards the end of the bout. Not mentioning he will be more active in the early rounds.

Clottey should beat Mosley. It's a sad situation we have in pro boxing if Mosley a 38 year old can beat up contenders in their prime.Not that it didn't happen before during the 90's when an old George Forman was title holder. I like to think that it won't happen again.

clottey lost to cotto in many ways similar to the reason how mosley lost to cotto.

judges' bias and losing steam in the last rounds. mosley lost gas against cotto but was more or less tied with cotto in the early rounds and even won a couple of rounds in the middle but totally lost the last 2 rounds. it should have been closer than what the judges gave but mosley lost to cotto. clottey lost to cotto by surrendering the last rounds. he claims his corner did not instruct him to pressure because they were satisfied.

clottey vs mosley will be different. OK, let's forget about mosley's age and say he won't turn old in the ring.

clottey will not get hurt but he could be knocked down with a lucky shot (cotto did this). clottey however has a very tight defense, his arms just covers his body to the face for some weird reason (big and long arms?). i watched his fight with judah and baldomir and cotto (and some rounds against margarito). clottey can't be hurt. you have to beat him on points. and this is where mosley could do damage. his speed and activity will give him the favor in a similar way, cotto got the upperhand in some rounds (cotto won the last rounds because clottey was sloppy).

mosley will win by UD against a sloppy clottey.

clottey will win over an old mosley.

I take Mosley by decision. Clottey is a tough and rigid fighter, but Mosley is a top notch elite. Mosley wins by decision in an impressive fashion.

I don't see anyone knocking out Clottey. Mosley by UD.

i choose mosley...by referee stoppage or KO! clottey he's tough yeah and has a good chin but you cant take to much of those punches specially if mosely is the one whose doing it...

Mosley wins UD.

Based on.. Speed Power and more active.

Mosely - Because he does!
