I keep reading that Mosley will have trouble with Clottey becuase he's alot like Winky. This madness has to stop. Aside from their defense they are nothing alike. Winky is bigger, much higher work rate(output), one of the best jabs in the sport, a SOUTHPAW, more power and he doesn't have a history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. As another poster already said "Mosley will be on those ribs like BBQ sauce".:yep
Yes any fight with clottey in it the opponent should be allowed to wear head gear.... Or have a head weigh in before the fight !!!!
he'll butt and then everyone on here will say mosley is a coward because he didn't slug after getting head butted to the point of a 2 inch gash on his eyebrow ..
I've personally always seen their comparisons because of their defense and the high risk low reward type of opponent they are. Not really that much stylistically.
Clottey has a big head...doesnt have winky wright's jab...Both got good defense...clottey got more punching power both got good chins...idk what else? stamina both possibly
Mosley has a history of heatbutts (intentional or not) in his fights as well... Marquez, Forrest, Vargas, ect.
Ok i can accept this... like TroubleLurks pointed out, their ACTUAL styles arent that similar outside of their defence, but i can see what your saying as well. You know who Clottey DOES remind me of though? Ike Quartey, he even throws his punches kinda like him when he pops his jab lol, at least IMO.
I think it was Emmanuel steward who also noticed the quartey comparison. Both from ghana of course. And ok Clottey doesnt have the jab or workarate of Wright but he does have great defence, faster hands and an iron chin.
Be a good fight. I think Mosely wins it but you can't be too sure. Clottey is more like Paul Williams long lanky and throws 100 punches a round.
They both have the same defensive styles. That's where the comparison ends. It's like James Toney, Steve Forbes and Floyd Mayweather....all use the shoulder roll defense, all very different fighters.
No, he's not Winky, but he's still a very solid technician with above average defense and a great chin. These are things we've seen trouble Shane in the past, especially in the Winky fights. People are just taking these aspects of his style and comparing them to Winky, but forgetting how much better Winky was offensively. Clottey throws a hundred punches a round? :admin
