    As a Mosley fan I dont like this fight, maybe I would if he were 31 or 32. But he's 37 and wants big fight, big $ and to add to his legacy. This fight would be 0 for 3.

    That's what Im talking about though.

    The Collazo fight WOULDVE BEEN AND SHOULDVE BEEN just as boring and one-sided as the Urango fight had the ref NOT warned Berto for the holding. When you take away the holding from his gameplan the man freaks out like he lost his arms or something. His fight with Forbes was just as boring as Urango's

    He has all the ****in' potential in the world to be able to kick everyone's ass, but somehow never uses what he has properly.

    It's like watching a hot chick struggle in heels...its just so ****in' sorry :verysad

    But apparently, he claimed that he can come up with multiple gameplans at once...let's see him use them against a guy who can do the same :yep

    Collazo. Easy?! What on earth gives you that idea? I agree that the Urango showing was certainly a let down on multiple levels, (I was there at the fight btw) but it wasn't all that surprising considering the trouble he had against Collazo another south paw who was able to hurt him early and Urango who punches a whole lot harder. I figured Berto would be more defensive and take less chances. The one plus I noticed however was the developed abilty to slip under punches and turn his opponent. I get that people are getting a bit restless with Berto but he's still only 25. Humor him a little while longer bruh.

    Yeah, I don't know how to describe this... Gun-shy? Overly-cautious? Maybe it's just that he's not experienced enough. In any case, the guy does have potential and I think experience will make him better over the time. I haven't given up on him yet, not until he does **** up and not almost **** up (as you suggested he did with Collazo).

    mosley UD. clottey would have his moments, but shane would definitely win the majority of the rounds. clottey COULD pull it off if he actually upped his work rate and fought the whole fight, but more than likely he would end up dropping the ball anyways.

    Clottey by decision. I think he would be the one landing the cleaner shots throughout the fight while Shane hits gloves and arms. Or he could end up being robbed by the judges.

    I just read on "the scene" that although Clottey was named as the WBA #1 contender, it remains to be seen if he's the #1 contender to Shane's WBA super title or Vyacheslav Senchenko's WBA regular title. WBA is a joke. So are the rest of them.

    Waste of tiime? And what do you figure Molsey can do? There's no Pac fight for him. No Cotto fight. No PBF fight. Only Berto seems available . . . why not take care of his mandatory first instaed of being idle for the rest of the year? Then try to land a big fight next year. What? Go up to 154? The last thing we wanted to happen is him being stripped of the title for refusing a mandatory fight. :deal

    I'd pick Mosley by a split decision.
    I don't see this happening though. Maybe they'll pin Clottey against the "regular" WBA champ, Vyacheslav Senchenko
