How can you not be impressed by Andre Berto?

I have never been big on him at all, not even close. but over the past few days i have rewatched Bertos fights against Rodriguez, Trabant, Estrada, Rivera, Bravo, Figueroa, Galvan, and Robinson. His offense is amazing. His punches are like lazers, he mixes his shots up very well, has a great jab, works the body. He has very good instincs in the ring and that uppercut he has is no joke. but theres just something about him, i dunno. I dont think he could deal with pressure. With a fighter that really believes they can beat him and dont yield to him, and has talent of course, i dont think he could handle it. Well im not sure. Im interested to see how this kid turns out. He has had great performances on HBO and its weird hes still not a star. Maybe cause hes Hatian? Like Dave Chappelle said, when Elian Gonzalez came here, thank got he was cute, because if he was Hatian they would have turned that little boat around and sent him back to the ocean lol. :lol1::lol1: thats my boy!!!.. .DAVE CHAPPELLE :You_Rock_

He looked more impressive before his HBO Debut. He has it in him to demolish but he looked like he let Rodriguez fight with him a couple rounds.

berto and shane mosley would be a great fight... i think thats bertos level rightt now... a 36 yr old mosley is about even with him in my opinion... the biggest factor in this fight to me, would be shane doesnt move his head any more, and bertos jab is fast explosive and powerful... Delvin Rodriguez They should make the fight,He's Not on level with Shane yet but Rodriguez is quality opposition for him

I like Berto and think he's a nice addition to the WW division but I would really like to see him step up the quality of guys he's been fighting to someone within or just outside the top 10 WW's. Mosley would be a good fight but I feel like Collazo would be the best option for him at this point. Mosley next if he gets past Collazo. All in all, he's quick agile and reminds me of a more aggressive Mayweather, just way more humble.

He should Fight Delvin Rodriguez. That is all Im going to say

he's a headhunter, throws wild punches, has average defense, fights out of control at times... is that reason enough? average defense, fights out of control sometimes, headhunter....are you talking about Israel Vazquez the man in your sig? Because Those apply to him just as much as Berto. Yet you like Vazquez and not Berto. Neither Vazquez or Berto really neglect the body too much either. Vazquez is just more proven, far more proven. But no, your reason dont make sense because you like other fighters with the same flaws.

wrong attitude. I think we as boxing fans should recognize these great young prospects, embrace them and support them as much as we can so that they can flourish into great stars. cuz if we don't, as Joe Rogan once said "the famous ppl that you have right now are the only famous ppl that boxing is gonna have for the future. the dlh's the hopkins the guys that were already famous before the UFC came along. There will be no new ones." Unsettling but yeah, he might have a point. The stars that were big in boxing still are in the boxing world and well known to casual fans, but they're on the brink of leaving from the sport (Hopkins, DLH, Mosley, Jones)...and once they do, it'll be hard for boxing stars to be terrific at their craft while STILL being well known as the stars of the past, since MMA is becoming more mainstream than boxing, but even I'm not so sure about that.

berto is a pussy. he is a fake bitch of a champion wrong attitude.

I see him taking out Cotto and Margarito in the future... I think the welterweight division's future belongs to Williams and/or Berto agreed but how long will williams be able to stay under the welter limit. that'll be the only downfall of williams at welter I think. otherwise he beats everybody.

He had (has) huge lapses in defense. I don't know, I've never been to impressed. Abner Mares is probably my favorite prospect right now. He needs to work on his D too.

Berto is 1 of the future stars in the sport!

I'm not sure about his chin but I definitely look forward to watching him fight. Berto has as much snap in his punches as anyone in boxing.

He's a talented fighter, he just won't get a lotta props until he steps his game up by takin on top fighters. Now that he's got a belt he's got the opportunity to make some fans for himself, but if he stays protected fans will shit on him.

I think Berto vs Steve Forbes is a decent matchup. Berto will make a big statement if he knocks Forbes out. I don't know why you think that. Forbes will be fighting various lbs over his ideal weight. Forbes has a good chin and that is it. It might be a more competitive sparring session. I don't think it is a decent fight at all. It shouldn't be his first defense of a title. Forbes as never been a welterweight fight I believe.

He's pretty impressive but I want to see him step it up in terms of opposition, he looks like a very good offensive fighter and his defense seems to have tightened up but he still has a questionable chin, it'll be interesting to see how he does against better opposition.

I am impressed with him. I like the way he fights. I don't think he has the necessary tools to hang with the real big boys at WW yet but he is certainly a top prospect for the future. I look forward to seeing how far he can go.

I see him taking out Cotto and Margarito in the future... I think the welterweight division's future belongs to Williams and/or Berto Cotto and Margarito......the two fighters i think have the best chance to beat him. They will pressure him, they will go in feeling superior, they wont play his game. They will make it very rough on him.
