    This is of course if Margarito vacates the IBF belt, this fight makes the most sense to me what you guys think?

    Not enough time for Clottey to get ready for the fight, he needs at least 5 weeks.

    Why not, but I think SSM only won'ts PPV type of fights and Clottey is not a fighter that can carry a PPV now.

    It would be good. I know May 31st is right around the corner but look at Clottey hes in some nasty shape u can see he trains year around.

    Mosely really screwed himself over for not taking the Quintana fight when it was offered to him.

    this is a tough fight for both guys but I give a slight edge to Clottey. Clottey at 147 is the naturally bigger guy and has a lot of boxing skills just like wright. I think Mosley should stay away from him


    Clottey UD

    Clottey is a BIG welter, he was 170 on fight night versus the late Corrales. SMM can take it though, qhite easy if he fights smart

    I agree, and I'm a bigger Mosley fan than Clottey. Mosley should stay away from Clottey at this point of his career.

    Nope, Clottey vs Collazo is in the works for the title, if Margo vacates. If Cotto don't sign, then Margo will be fighting Clottey, his mandatory :yep

    I agree Clottey has a higher workrate which always gives a guy a advantage especially when the other isnt a big threat to hurt him. Should be a intresting boxing match though good skills on both guys.
