Andre Berto A Legit Contender?

Andre's defense needs a little work

Floyd's legs didn't do shit He got knocked against the ropes and slipped everything Corley had left. He wasn't hopping around like a bunny rabbit ala Cotto. Cotto was GONE. Nobody said Berto has been in with better fighters than Cotto..just mentioning that when it comes to getting rocked..dropped..and buzzed..Cotto is no stranger. what ever LMAO Floyd fan i take it Cotto was sooo badly hurt that he recovered completely well before the end of the round lol

yeah the great Julio never had his fair share did he His son is following in his footsteps.

Cotto has been nailed numerous times too..He can't even see right hands or uppercuts. Maybe it's because he cocks his left too far away from his ribs. He takes a lot of punishment almost every fight. Chop Chop didn't have Floyd hopping all over the ring like a demented kangaroo like he had Cotto. Floyds legs went momentarily why u are trying play down Corley hurting PBF and talking up the part where he hurt Cotto , it is laughable TBH take a look at the end of the round Cotto is fine Cotto has been in with far better fighters than Berto to even put them in the same sentence at the minute is a joke

Yeah we all know that, look at all the bums he KO'ed, I mean he KO'ed the guy from La Bamba. He is one bad mother......shut yo mouth. yeah the great Julio never had his fair share did he

What is Kermit doing right now? Did he flat out retire after his second loss to Marg?

thats definately true, make it happen. it should be good for boxing.

is this fight signed? i don't think so i haven't seen anything, any dates? i know hbo loves berto so hbo would probably have his next fight, but i haven't seen either collazo or berto say anything. collazo is the #1 ranked guy in the wbc but don king is his manager i wonder how he would deal with dibella. This fight isn't made yet, but it makes sense so it could happen. Collazo is pretty low on King's food chain so that shouldn't be an issue.

He's already fighting better guys than Alphonso Gomez and Golden Johnson So what if he got dropped and buzzed He got up and WON.. Just like a young Tito did when he was dropped by the featherfisted Oba Carr and Anthony Stephens. Cotto's been dropped...rocked..and buzzed.. He was damn near killed by Corley...I doubt he punches harder than Rivera or Estrada. Seems like it's OK for certain fighters to get dropped or buzzed but not others. Hmmmm. A Gomez has Arturo Gatti name on his record shot or not ,who has Rivera got on his record who is comparable huh Cotto does not leave himself as open as Berto and he fights with his chin tucked in and his hands up Berto has been nailed numerous times by clean shots his defence looked good against a jack ass like Rodrigues bid deal Corley had Floyd Mayweather going aswell the guy hits a lot harder than his record suggests ,Torres is a noted puncher and Cotto took Kelson Pinto shots pretty well Berto has been down in the amateurs a few times aswell BTW

well,he's beaten many a journeymen,so at the moment i would say not yet.

It doesnt matter, He is all offense no defense. He cant take a shot. Evem his older brother who is in MMA cant take a punch and is all O no D. Watch him. Remember, the apples dont fall to far from the tree. Bitchassness runs in thier blood. He has more of heart than Cintron.. If anyone's a Bitch its Cintron

All Cintron needs to do is touch him. And Margs will work his motherfuckin body. Margs late round Ko with a body shot. Berto would start off ok, but Margs too much late. Cotto, dont even ask. P Will, see Cotto. Name one fighter that Cintron has Ko'd with the Skills of Berto?

I don't care what you're tired of. Cotto won a vacated belt too..and he sure as hell didn't charge ahead and fight the best right off the bat Berto fought Rivera and Estrada before he had 20 fights..Chavez Jr is not even fighting guys on that level and he has damn near twice as many fights. Berto fight a real fighter?? Like whom? Golden Johnson...?...Manuel Gomez??? How about Ottke Urkal or Alphonso Gomez?? Collazo is better than all that trash..and the winner of Clottey/Judah would be his coming-out party. and look what happened to Berto when he fought Estrada and Rivera he was buzzed by one a decked by the other he needs to step up his competition

Man, I am tired of people saying Berto should take on these lesser Welters. He won the Main Welter belt. Cotto, Margs, P Will, and Berto? WTF. Fight someone good. Okay, fight Clottey or Judah (Judah wins) what ever. What good tdoes that do? He wants to be the champ, so fight someone worth fighting. Why does Berto get a free pass to fight lesser knowns, but Floyd and COtto get hit hard for fighting Hatton and Gomez? Let it be equal. Berto FIGHT A REAL FIGHTER. Not a guy who lost to the guy or couldnt even beat the guy or couldnt even beat the guy who came up to 147 from 140. Come on. There isn't much depth in the division everyone in the top 5 has lost to someone already except for Cotto. You could argue that Collazo, or Cintron are quality fighters and good match-ups for him because look how weak the division is right now.

If Berto Beats Collazo impressively would you put him up there in the Ranks with Williams, Cotto, Margarito and Clottey I think a Good fight would be Berto Vs. Cintron after he beats collazo if he beats Collazo i would put him up their with them yes i would not fancy his chanes against legit puncher though cause i have big question marks about his durability

Floyd Never fought Collazo, But Collazo is a slick southpaw and would give anyone trouble. Agreed. Colazzo isn't on any welterweights wish list. He can expose a lesser talent and would be by far Berto's biggest test. If he hadn't been injured he would have given Mosley a much tougher fight. He does lack a respectable jab though.

He has the mileage but outside of his loss to Calzaghe he hasn't fought anyone special... I compared their resumes because even though Berto has 22 wins, he has two belts and is already stepping up to reputable competition and aims for the top. Andre Berto is the future of the Welterweight division...he shows drastic improvement in each fight, he doesn't waste any punches (his last fight he went 63% in power punches), and he throws the best uppercut I've seen since a young James Toney. The comparison was in resumées. Not potential. Kessler has fought and convincingly defeated 4 worldchampions in a row, followed by a lopsided decision win over mandatory challenger (Andrade) before losing to JoeC. In terms of resumées Berto is still an infant compared to that IMHO. And let me add that Berto according to boxrec only holds one 'world'-title.

Thats what that fight was supposed to do. Make him look good against a bum, so people are oooooed and awwwed by some bullshit. Cintron KO in 5. And why are people saying that Collazo is a good test. If Cotto, Margarito, P Will or Floyd fought him they would get e-blogged to death. But it's "Berto", so it's okay? FUCK THAT!! He is a champ, time to step up homie. And if you dont think you are ready to fight them, sorry, but you should have let someone get the belt who is willing to fight a decent fighter. Not Collazo who lost to Hatton who lost to Floyd and would lose to ANY welter. If Hatton cant beat ANY Welter, where does that leave Collazo? Floyd Never fought Collazo, But Collazo is a slick southpaw and would give anyone trouble.

That's pushing it a bit. Kessler has done a bit of mileage, whereas Berto has just come out of the showroom. He has the mileage but outside of his loss to Calzaghe he hasn't fought anyone special... I compared their resumes because even though Berto has 22 wins, he has two belts and is already stepping up to reputable competition and aims for the top. Andre Berto is the future of the Welterweight division...he shows drastic improvement in each fight, he doesn't waste any punches (his last fight he went 63% in power punches), and he throws the best uppercut I've seen since a young James Toney.
