at 154? Mosley has no business there. Id still pick him against Spinks tho. Spinks has even less pop than Malinaggi. I dont think Bertos chins that bad - hes been in with a few punchers
If I were GBP, I'd tell Mosley to let the young ones like Cotto and Berto fight each other, and go fight Senchenko or Spinks, or the IBF champ and retire a champ. Though if he wanted to fight those young guys, I'd have to respect it. Berto's chin isn't iron clad, but it's good enough, especially if he improves defensively. I bet Khan would kill to have Berto's chin.
Had Berto and Mosley had fought in Jan, I think it would of been a great fight, but ultimately Berto's chin may have gave him away. Most likely, Mosley would of won. That's the same reason why he could lose to Cintron. But if they fight in the fall or winter, more likely than not, I think Berto would win, though he certainly could lose. Mosley isn't getting any younger, and that's why I think he would want to fight guys like Cory Spinks, the IBF champ, and the WBA interm champ Senchenko to retire a champ, or at least face those guys before Berto.

You make your point well. I definently think Collazo is bigger than 5'9 tho, he was taller than Mosley, who is 5'9. Cintrons a tough fight, i pick Berto in a decision there. I DO think Mosley would fight him nxt - Mosleys not getting any younger.

I think he would of beaten 5'9" Collazo in a rematch, and appearently Collazo does too. He lose to non drained Williams, but he'd might be weight drained at 147. Cintron would be a tough fight for Berto, but he handled 5'11" Miguel Rodriguez well, and KO'd via uppercut. Not saying those two are on the same skill level, but at 147 he could win. Honestly at 147 the only guys that would be a sure loss are May and Pac. I really don't think Mosley will want it, at least for his next immediate fight.

well tyson used to say he was 5'11, but i see your point. He is a player at 147 but because of his physical disadvantages he would not beat these guys i mentioned. Funny, i would give him more of a shot against Mayweather than i would against P-Will

Berto's 5'8.5", and I'm not sure how good Williams would be if he reached 147 again. I think your underestimating Berto a bit, because he's already a major player at welterweight. Not everyone needs a 4/5+ height advantage to be elite in a division, and Berto would lose alot going down to 140. Besides May and Pac, I don't see anyone dominating Berto at 147 including Mosley.

How is it a biotch move?
Hes not fighting a cath weights and dragging people down or up he would be fighting at the actual weight class.
He should be fighting Mosley next.
5'7 Berto vs 6'2 Williams? only one winner. 5'11 Collazo caused him all sorts of problems. Ditto Cintron, it would be the same. I think Berto could make 140, not easily, but he could, and if he did, he'd a be a major player imo

Paul Williams coming back to 147 = Berto going to 140.
Paul Williams will be a weak fukker waiting to get knocked out if he goes back to 147 against Berto. I still say he needs to eat and fight at 160-168.
Can he really make 140 though. Berto should just collect the rest of belts and wait for the 140's to go up in a year or so which will def happen.
btw burner, am acanna10 on blogtalk lol
