imo this shit is a joke. How can he call himself a champ by fighters them dudes? His next fight should against Cotto (if he come back), Marg, PWill, Collazo, or Clottey. I didn't list Shane b/c my boy run is over.
I think that if he could make the weight why not.Right now the super lightweight division is looking more star studded than then the welterweight division.You have Alexander,Maidana,Khan,and Ortiz.And is not like anybody even mentions him in the welterweight div.His situation reminds me a little to Paul Williams a couple yrs ago great talent but no one wants to take a chance.
Dropping weight is very dangerous and Berto fought as high as middleweight earlier in his career. Additionally he is a welterweight champ! I doubt it is any more than chatter.
If he could make the weight comfortably enough, then I say go for it. I mean, if you're making weight you're making weight. Still though, I think he has unfinished business at Welterweight, mainly a fight with Shane and possibly Collazo rematch or even a fight with Cotto/Margarito.
he should stay at 147 and let them come up and fight him, Berto could be the next star at 147 once Mayweather and Pacman retires...BUT Berto is still young he can go down to 140 if he feels like it is more money and bigger fights at that weight because I don't see Mayweather or Pacman fighting Berto, he could fight Mosley I guess but I think Mosley will take some time off before his next fight
it would be a good time to give Luis Collazo a rematch or what about a fight with Kermit Cintron who is rumored to be coming down in weight
First I think it will kill him to make that weight..
Second, I agree he needs to rematch Collazo... and I actually think Shane-Berto would still be a very competitive fight.
I was going to say the bold Reed. I saw he saying that he would love to go down to 140, but I just don't think he can make the weight AND be effective.
