I doubt this fight happens. Mosley is at a point in his career now where he doesn't need to listen to the sanctioning bodies. No way that Mosley takes a high risk, low reward fight. Better chance of seeing him and Berto in there.

100% correct. Although Shane has taken high/low fights before, don't think he will anymore, unless the $$$ is super good.

But Shane better find an opponent fast, because of the IBFrauds did in fact mandate the fight, then Shane is in the precarious situation of having to possibly duck Clottey/vacate the title, and Shane doesn't duck anyone. Shane probably saw this coming, it's probably why he was lobbying so hard for a fight with Pac.

I doubt Mosley will take this Matchup at this stage in his career.
Not many options for Mosley though as Cotto is fighting Pac-man and Mayweather/Marquez is set, so it's take the highly hittable Andre Berto.. or face Clottey.
Mosley has made a few bad choices one being fighting Winky when he was told not to.. he cannot accept defeat.. and lost a second time.
Who knows maybe he will give us want we want.. but odds are Mosley/Berto.
