Rivera is the perfect test for Andre at this stage of his career. Once he enters his peak, he handles cats like Quintana and Julio; no need to fight them RIGHT NOW. I'd say early 2008, take one someone like Quintana, and then perhaps a Top 10 contender before making a run at the top by year's end, or early 2009.
That would be a good gameplan, but it's just tempting to see him in there against top opposition, which I think he could handle himself, but you never know those veterans could use that experience against him and derail that Berto train.
