Like the MW's in '01, how about a WW Tournament '09: SSM, Cotto, Berto, Clottey?

    Semi-Finals

    COTTO v BERTO
    CLOTTEY v MOSLEY


    What do you think, good idea? Realistic?

    :bbb



    IF it did happen, who would you back to win?

    Great Idea... and both should make for great fights.. although something tells me that Mosley and Cotto would both win easily

    I think it would be a good idea but It seems like realistically the way things are really going right now, it will/would be Clottey vs Cotto and Berto vs Mosley. I think a focused Cotto can decision Clottey and Mosley should be able to stop Berto. A mosley vs cotto rematch is close to call IMO

    I think Cotto would brutalize Berto, but I don't think Joshua Clottey would be an easy night for anyone at 147, even Sugar Shane. A Cotto-Mosley II final would be massive though!

    You have to feel sorry for Clottey. I think he would have had a very live chance at beating Margarito in a rematch, and he would give Cotto and Mosley hell. Hopefully we see him decently matched at some point this year. Cotto vs Berto would be a great test before he gets back in the ring with Mosley or someone else of a high caliber.

    I like the idea... hard fights to pick though. I lean towards Cotto / Mosley in the finale.

    Yea Clottey is great, he does tend to put the ear muffs on and take punches off his forearms and gloves... but Mosley has been great throwing straight rights that come in at the perfect angle against that kind of DEF ... would be a fun fight to watch.

    they still need to remove margarito from the equation...if cotto wins the tourney, he can't be called untouchable simply because margarito still owns him

    I think every division should have a compulsoy tourney between all its title holders.

    Did you see the fight D ? Thought Jennings did pretty well myself, he was never gonna win with Cotto in that form but i thought he looked pretty good.

    Good idea . . . but not realistic for Mosley. The guy is old and just looking for money fights. But the 3? Berto; Cotto and Clottey . . . it's a barn burner fights.
