Mosley to fight Clottey on boxing day

Like it alot.Think Mosley can do much with Clotteys hesitation and lack of all out fire when oppurtunities present themselves.Think Mosley can TKO him.

I don't know about that, Clottey has a tough head.

But I do see Mosley winning by decision.

Mosley wins this by convincing decision. Mosley has about the biggest heart in the game and Clottey's heart gave concerning questions in the Cotto fight. If any welterweight can KO Clottey it would be Mosley. But I'm sure Clottey makes his way to a discouraging decision loss.

Looks like both fighters won't be having a stuffed turkey the day before.

Regardless, Mosely wins a UD. But Clottey is one tough Mofo and this won't be anything like the Margarito fight,

I wish the Berto fight would have come through rather than this. I mean it will be a good fight but, Mosley said he was holding out for bigger fights and I think Berto is a bigger fight than this. Doesn't really add anything to Mosley's resume. I'll definitely still watch it though

Ya, I think HBO wanted the Berto fight. Problem is, since the Pavlik-Williams fight is still a possibility, HBO didn't have the type of money available that Berto was looking for.

Plus, Berto and his team are probably thinking "Why rush?" If Mosley beats Clottey, then they can do Mosley-Berto in 2010, and Mosley is only getting older.

Exactly.Solid scrap and Clottey capable but sort of a step to the side Imo considering where Mosley is and how much time he has left overall.Berto is due now, for good or bad....just seems like he has been building to a breakthrough match for some time.

I pick Clottey by decision.

Good fight! tough call but I think Clottey has a reach disadvantage here even though he fights tall. The only thing for Mosley is he might get tired in the later rounds. I think Mosley has to stay busy so Clottey can't get off but pace himself so he doesn't run out of gas. Mosley by UD if it goes the distance, Clottey could get lucky in the later rounds and win by KO.
