We got world class guys like Cintron, Clottey, ect out there with no one to fight and this guy just skate free... When is he gonna step to the plate and fight some real comp at 147...
I'm sick and tired of this guy! He's got major skills/talent so let's see it on the grand stage!
I already described it... World Class is a pedigreed boxer, a guy who competes on a high level against the best win or lose.... Both of these guys aré former world champs as is Judah whose now on the comeback trail....
Yaw trippin.
if Cintron and Clottey aren't world class than what the **** are they? Define world class please.
You cats are goons.
World Class is Pac, May, JMM, The Klits, B Hop, Calzaghe, Andre Ward,
not Clottey and Cintron
neither one has won a big fight
they are in a class with Zab Judah
man we see your point but its kinda hard to say world class to thishttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Lg-cAuF6v14/TFHjy4D1CBI/AAAAAAAADoA/RRBNTZPLSYY/s1600/10-05-08+CintronWilliams+Tripup.jpg

Former World Champs who have a pedigree for fighting and being competitive with the best is equal to WORLD CLASS IDIOT! Both of these guys have made millions of dollars in the ring....
Let some of you guys tell it, Floyd and Manny are the only two world class fighters in the world...

Kermit Cintron and Joshua Clottey are both better than Andre Berto and would give him a pasting if they ever fought.Andre Berto is a poor boxer,with terrible technique and no durability.He's the typical black fighter that boxing fans confuse with having great skills simply based on the fact that he's fast and athletic.
People continually mock Cintron,but atleast the guy has taken risks in his career.Atleast Cintron is willing to take fights with dangerous opposition.Clottey can be frustrating as hell to watch,but he's shown that he can compete at the very top with his showings against Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto - a level that Berto hasn't come close to competing at.
The guy's a six year pro,twenty seven years old and still being treated and protected like a prospect - and it's a disgrace.No true boxing fan has any respect for someone like Andre Berto - he exemplifies everything that is wrong with out sport.
Pure hype is all he is.
Thanks for summing it up... Couldnt have said it better... Andre Berto = FRAUD

Never understood all the hate for Berto, yeah he could step up his game up a little but its not like he's been fighting bums his whole career. Berto's one good win away from being a legit star, just hope he's using this layoff to work on his stamina and defense.
I used to like Berto as a young fighter with potential. Now that I have seen that he hasn't improved at all over his last few fights and now he is acting like a broad and not fighting anybody decent to hell with him. I mean Berto hasn't done anything to feel justified in holding out of fights for more money and he is not good enough to be out this long and it not affect him.
I've read he negotiated himself out of a fight with Shane, the second time round. Didn't want to accept anything other than 50/50 with Shane; a fighter who'd just had all the exposure of a 24/7 PPV fight - who would, no doubt, have brought more to the fight, in terms of exposure. When you have everything to prove, like Berto, there are only so many shots you should/can call.
That what I've been saying that he has not invested in a fight that can get his name higher and ppl talking cause what he think he is worth. HBO is backing him and a fight like that I'm sure they will pay for, time continues to pass and he is wasting time
You just don't hear him saying that he wants Mosley again

What pass?
Have you been on here lately?
Berto has like the least amount of fans for someone that's been on TV as much as him. He gets rightfully bashed in every thread his name is in.
atleast Cintron fought Martinez, Marg, etc. despite of the outcome. Clottey fought Cotto and Pac..
that's more then Berto has done and he's supposed to be a champion at 147. Not that i'm hating because Cintron and Clottey are pretty down on my list of top fighters due to their current lack luster performances
The thing is these guys have fought many more good fighters than you even mentioned...
Again:
Clottey: Ws over Judah, Corrales, ect Close Ls to Margarito and Cotto (I thought he was robbed that night), a DQ loss the Baldomir when he was in his prime and an L to Pac man
Cintron: W over Angulo, Draw with Sergio, Whatever that was with Paul Williams and 2 KO Ls to Tony Marg
Berto has more talent than both, but I believe both guys would beat him because of their pedigree of being in the ring with much better opposition...
I'be been waiting for Berto to take a chance against the Clottey, Cintron type of fighters but he just won't step it up. The Quintana fight was a good win but not outstanding cause Quintana did do anything since the Williams KO. You just don't hear him saying that he wants Mosley again, Williams or try one of the many tough opponents of 154 or 140.
i honestly dont think it is dibella, look at who else they have in common, along with another fighter who doesn't take risks. haymon is the culprit imo
Seems like Floyd aint too happy with Haymon himself... This guy can't get it right...
I guess Clottey and Cintron, two guys who I happen to like should fight each other, might be a good one...
