even though he won last Saturday night fight, its seem that he got is career path hurt , now its seem that he can be out boxed and hurt... what next for the fast and talent boxer ... and i do like him , i am not hating on him.:boxing:
Berto definently needs to make his next move a lateral one, not a step forward.
He needs to stay away from Clottey, Margarito, and Cotto.
Perhaps he could see how "old" or not Mosley looks against Margarito and if he looks compromised, then maybe looks at a fight with Shane. If Mosley looks still competitive then add him to the list of guys to stay away from.
If he just has to try and make a step forward (which would be admirable) then I would look at Quintana, though that fight might be sketchy since Quintana does well against up and comers.
Guys I would be looking at for the next fight if I were his management would be Sebastian Lujan, Jose Luis Castillo, Carlos Baldomir, Roberto Garcia, as they are all good-decent names who he could beat and get his confidence back. Maybe after beating one of these guys he could rematch Collazo.
I think he needs to give Collazo a rematch for one which will also allow him to improve a few things. If he beats him more convincingly or better yet, KO's him next time around then I think he has a better shot against the top tier fighters. Although I'm a fan, I think he will have problems with top tier fighters still. He needs to slow down and take his time because he is a smart boxer but sometimes forgets that. Should a rematch happen, he needs to attack Collazo to the body early and intensely. When he started to do that he slowed Collazo down and by the looks of it was close to knocking him out.
Berto - Clottey would be a good fight, Clottey would be a lot easier to hit but Clottey is a tough guy himself, it would be a great fight and one that I wouldn't mind watching if Berto - Collazo 2 doesn't happen that is.
berto must go the calz route and fight bums for the rest of his life, then fight faded senior citizen champs and claim to be a legend killer.
AAHH no comments! lol

Berto vs Clottey, Quintana or a rematch with Collazo would be cool with me.
:fing02:
clottey would murder berto.. he wont step up to the ring with oshhhwua
He may lose some respect if he don't rematch Luis. They need to fight again.
I THINK THIS make a lot sense,even though mr lenox lewis say it after the fight... "if i was berto i stay away from collazo!''
I think once he gets to the top tier of the Welters (Marg and Cotto) he's gonna get hurt.
Now obviously, Collazo is no pushover...but he is the Welterweight gatekeeper and out of Mosley and Hatton, he gave Berto the toughest fight of the 3.
Berto hung in there and fought back in the later rounds to his credit, but guys like Cotto and Margarito IMO would be too overwhelming.
Berto will have a tough time against pressure fighters, but could probably beat guys like Quintana, Cintron...shit, Im not even sure about him beating Clottey.
