Is Berto a slick african american OR a poorman mosley

Berto is not even African American. Is anyone here from Florida....specifically Miami? If so, go up to any Haitian and call them an African American and see what happens. Calling Berto AA is like calling Tito and Trinidad Mexicans. Yes the have Spanish blood.....just like Berto has African blood.....but they aren't the same thing and both would be highly offended if you grouped them together.

I thought he was from Haiti descent? how can he be african american? he may be half african american but to me still dont qualify as a slick african american boxer

If Berto is Haitian instead of being AA then Obama is Kenyan/White... agreed? Or is it a double standard? BTW this is a legitimate question since people are so particular on what is considered "African American" nowadays.

Mosley was slicker than Berto could ever be, which is not saying much. Anyway, he's about as slick as a paraplegic which is to say he has no movement whatsoever that could be construed as being 'slick'.

Berto is about as slick as a poor man's Kelly Pavlik. In fact, i think C3P0 has more lateral movement than Andre! Dood... this says it all.

You think its fair to call him an overrated piece of haymon shit? Who went life and death with Luis Collazo and was lucky to walk away with the decision. The guy has yet to face even a B level fighter and somehow people think he's supposed to be matched up with Cotto, Manny, Floyd... People just see speed and that somehow means your a good fighter.

lmao Slicker than cat shiet on a linoleum floor

He is fast and moves really quick, with a little bit of mosley style.

To my understanding, no one (in the 'know' of boxing) believes Berto is slick. He has fast hands and can throw decent combinations, but has yet to display anything remotely 'scientific' about his fight game, even against mediocre opposition. In addition to that he lacks power and fights coming forward(hardly any movement).

Berto's Haitian

Berto is nothing more than a Haymon hype job who"ll get KO'd against the first legit fighter he faces. And before that happens, he'll price himself out of many fights.

People are very harsh on Berto. I wouldnt say "slick" but I dont think its fair to call him a poorman's Mosely. You think its fair to call him an overrated piece of haymon shit?

Hes still a better version of Mosley who got whooped by Mora and Floyd.

He's Haitian, whatever that is.

Definitely a poor mans Mosley..

Berto has fasy hands and a suspect chin and has been well pritected. His muscular build probably hurts him more than it helps him because big musles need a lot of oygen and in boxing stamina is paramount when fighting a mayweather or paquaio. Anyone else is probably safe but to be pitted against any of the tops guys would be a mistake. Is berto slick not by any streth of the imagination. He doesnt really feint or know how to throw punches off of his back foot. To me he is good but his counters needs to improve and he probably needs to learn the shoulder roll to hide his ability to eat straight rights or lefts.

Berto has alot of flaws yes, but I see potential in the man. In no way he's the poorman's Shane Mosley.

his punches are fluid, but he jerks away from punches instead of calmly slipping them

haven't you heard? anyone with dark skin pigmentation and is from the streets is automatically slick, and therefore can beat pac.

If you consider Berto slick, im just laughing my ass off thinking what you consider Margacheater...a counter punching genius perhaps???:lol1:
