    While I think Mosley is even more formidable now with Richardson in his conrer I still pick Clottey by UD.

    He has an excellent ability to improvise and adapt his gameplan in the ring depending on what his opponent is giving him/doing. Mosley is there too be hit to often, and this Mosley doesn't have much of a speed advantage over Clottey.

    Mosley will try and press the attack and keep Clottey in his shell to outpoint him in the thought that it will mean Clottey not working enough. But Clottey does what he needs to do too win, if he needs to open up he will be more then willing. He is a tricky, calculating, and aware fighter. There is a method to his madness he doesn't just stay defensive for no reason.

    In 2009 Mosley by close UD. In 2000 Mosley by TKO in round 10.

    Shane was undefeated until 02. Forrest was the first guy to beat him. Winky beat him in 04 :deal

    are u kidding me

    this fight would be pepperidge farm with shane doing all the peppering

    zab outboxed clottey in all the early rounds and shane, unlike zab, has a) an iron chin and b) great stamina... he gets better as a fight goes on, something we would never say about zab

    total whitewash

    tough fight to call but i would edge clottey. mosley doesn't do very well against guys with great defense. both tend to take breaks during their fights so it would be really tough to call.

    Stylistically Clottey is a bad match up for Mosley for the same general reasons why Winky was in that Clottey has a shell like guard and is a pressure fighter.

    Clottey by UD

    Clottey by decision i think very close though I dont see a walkover for either fighter, will be suprised if it happens though.
