    Mosley, although Clottey can fight he is way limited compared to Pac unless he uses his extra weight as an advantage i cant see him winning at all

    Whereas i can actually vision Mosley beating Mayweather

    Mosley.

    Big puncher that's capable of putting pressure on Mayweather, depending on his gameplan he could cause Floyd some problems if he can't figure him out early enough.

    Clottey is awkward in size but his inactivity and stamina are ideal for Pacquiao, I don't think he has a chance of beating him on points because he won't do enough and he hasn't knocked anyone out in years.

    I give Mosley a fair chance against mayweather. He actually has a height (just a little) and reach advantage over Floyd and with floyd's style that can become a mojor issue.
    Of course Clotty has that advantages over Pac also, but Pac is used to that and Josh is much more limited and is more of a fighter who will 'mix it up'. And we all know what happens with the poor blokes that try that against Pac. But I still give him a chance, but not a big one I think.

    I say Clottey. Though "Neither of them have a hope " is also a good choice.

    The reason I say Clottey has a better chance at an upset is because of fighting styles. Unlike Mayweather, Pacquio is in there fighting. While the chance is remote, the increase in action offers up more opportunities for an upset.
    Mayweather is so cautious, and since Mosley has the old man legs, I don't see how Mosely could possibly catch Mayweather. Mayweather will be half way across the ring for most of the fight. Mosely has zero chance, while Clottey has .000000000000001%.

    You need glasses then. Mosley is old and massively overrated at this point in his career. He won't win more the 4 rounds.

    I think Clottey has a better chance against Pac than Mosley does against Pac.

    Mosley however has a better chance against Floyd than Clottey against Pac.

    I voted for both, but that is more wishful thinking than anything else.


    I sincerely think that Clottey is going to win in impressive fashion. I dont give a **** what everyone else here on ESB is saying, I'm sticking to my guns on this one.


    Clottey is going to win because he will present Manny with challenges he hasn't faced since moving up. Clottey will be much stronger than Pac, unlike Cotto, Hatton, and Oscar's skeleton. He will be ten times as durable as any of those guys mentioned, and he will not be taken out of his gameplan.


    Everyone talks about Clottey's low workrate, but other than Margarito, he has outlanded every one of his opponents, including Cotto, where he outlanded him overall, and in 8 of the 12 Rounds they fought. People foolishly think he just sits in a shell and then throws 12 slow-ass punches after his opponent gives him a break. Rubbish. He has better timing than any of the opponents Manny has faced lately, and has a better right hand than any of them. Not to mention his handspeed is sorely underrated. His footspeed isn't worth a ****, but he won't need it. Manny will be applying the pressure, and Clottey will be applying the countershots - and the ass-whippin.

    Mark my words... Fools.

    After Pac TKOs Clottey, you should apologize to ESB for your horrible ******ation and dire lack of boxing knowledge. If you are half a man, you will do so.

    Honestly, if Pac gets lucky and stops Clottey I will go into hiding. :lol::lol::lol:













































































    Seriously, you should be able to tell by now, that I can take a good internet beatdown. I am making my predictions knowing full well I might be the only person other than Clottey and his Mama who feels as strongly about this as I do.

    Now - if it goes to the cards and Pac wins a bull**** decision, will you be one to admit it? And what if Clottey stops Pac? (Which is the only way he'll get a victory with all the odds stacked against him) What will you say?

    Cotto outboxed Mosely, while he needed a gift decision over Clottey. Try again.
