    Mundine is worthless at this point, he just got pulverized by Charles Hatley of all people, Mundine doing well against Rabchenko had more to do with Rabchenko not being that great as opposed to how good Mundine is. Clottey couldn't make a dent in Silva who featherfisted Cano KO'd in 1 round, people have overrated the Clottey-Mundine performance far too much on here.

    Rosado is 6'1 Clottey is 5'8. Rosado has the youth, reach and height advantages also he's a natural MW, Clottey is not. Rosado has beaten Vera and in reality beat Stevens, was on his way to beating Quillin and being robbed like he was against Love. Losing to Lemieux and GGG is nothing to be ashamed of, most would and I can guarantee Clottey wouldn't last 7 and 10 with either of them.

    Rosado certainly has an ability to absorb punishment, yeah I can agree there.... But that's not how we decide boxing matches. Even though Clottey is older, and may have not done as well in those fights he also has less tare and more skill. Surely all of the beatdowns Rosado has received have take their tole. Dude has insane amount of scar tissue for example.

    Boxrec has Rosado listed at 5 11 1/2, wiki 6ft. Where are you getting him being 6'1 from?

    I know that, but this will be a case of Rosado simply imposing his will on Clottey like he did against Soto-Karass, Clottey is no defensive master people on here try to make him out to be, Mundine was outboxing him at times in the rounds he wasn't being dropped in. Clottey will shell up and get beaten into submission.

    Another factor might be Rosado having Vargas as his trainer for this fight. Vargas has the blueprint coz he beat Quartey haha

    Ya I'll be honest I haven't even seen Clottey fight recent....but I still got him kicking Rosado's ass....cause that's howmuch disdain I have for Rosado. He doesn't have a good Jab...and if you don't have a good jab you won't accomplish **** in boxing. Sorry to say.

    And, height don't mean **** unless you can use it either.
