    How do u figure Julio looked sharper than Berto? Julio never had a solid jab or rapid speed,he just had a very powerful right,and he got caught alot,Berto is one of the fastest boxers today,got devastating power,i doubt Bertos 1 dimensional like Julio is,and to the question,no Bertos not ready for Floyd,but hes gna be something special soon,even PBF said he likes Berto
    Julio did have a jab, for some reason he never showed it on the Quintana fight, he could also box a little bit and was very good cutting off the ring (again except in the Quintana fight), these are traits I look for in young punchers, which seems to be the case in Berto. Did you see the Mejias fight?

      The reason, Quintana is a southpaw. His stance takes away the jab of an orthodox fighter. Julio has a mediocre jab coming into the fight. Quintana just exposed him.

        Yep i seen the Majias fight,that was the one where he was dancing after the fight right? it wasnt as impressive as some of Julios other fights,ive seen alot of Julios fights,but ive been much more impressed with Berto,Julio isnt as fast,and i would class Julio as a puncher,id class Berto as a boxer/puncher

          I think Julio fell in love with his power too damn soon, Mejias was a south paw as well, obviously not in the same level of Quintana and Julio had not problem landing his jab and finding him. I also think the heat took everything outta Julio for the Quintana fight.

            My point on the Mejias fight was that he seemed a total different fighter than the one who fought Quintana and for that sake Cosme Rivera too.
            Why would you say Berto is a boxer/puncher? I've seen him fight 3 times and I don't see any deffense or boxing from him, hell even slow ass Miguel Figueroa was landing everything he had on Berto, but Berto was just too strong for him.

              Footwork is what seperates the skill level of fighters. Mejias doesnt understand how to rotate his hips like Quintana.

                I wouldn't really classify Berto's style as amateur. He loads up his shots, and fights flat footed both of which is a no-no in amateur fighting.

                  We musta bin watching another fight because i didnt barely see Figueroa land anything on Berto,here and there a punch or 2,and i say he is a boxer/puncher because he doesnt just come foward,he works behind the jab,throws hooks to the body,uppercuts,takes his time to find openings,i wouldent call him a power fighter,where as Julio just comes foward,throws some power shots,hardly any snap,and head hunts

                    Figueroa wasnt throwing much, he was overwhelmed by Berto must of the time, but when he did throw he landed frequently, those were slow shots you could see from a mile away. Berto does work behind the jab, works the body and throws good hooks and uppercuts, you're expected to do that as a professional fighter. In my book, a boxer/puncher is that who fights at angles, slip punches, counters and takes his time not to get hit and let the accumulation of his punches stop his opponents. Sorry, but I dont see this in Berto. Then again, with the level of competition he has had, probably didn't need to. Lets see when they raise his level of opposition to see where he stands.
