    Mosley relies on his footspeed to get him in and out. He tends to pull straight back a lot and sometimes hes fast enough to get out of the way but I never considered him a very good defensive fighter. Cotto has a better defence but when hes hurt its usually his offence that gets him out of trouble. Hes not a bad defensive fighter, but hes not a wizard. Neither is Clottey but he always has a tight guard and getting through his guard is no easy task. He his open for wide punches around his guard, which is his biggest defensive flaw.

    but my point is that Mosley and Cotto still get hit less. Cotto really controlled Judah didn't let him get very much going, while Clottey really couldn't control Judah, and it actually was a relatively close fight.

    But you could aso argue that he got hit less by Margarito, than Cotto did. He faired just as well imo as Cotto did against Judah and theres no doubt in my mind he was on his way to stopping him also. It took Cotto a few rounds to get to Judah too. Clottey also stopped Jose Luis Cruz, who went distance with Mosley in a highly competitive fight. Styles make fights and Clottey has one of the most effective styles in the division..
