Who should Berto fight next?

[boxingfan4life]

Zab Judah... He beat a gatekeeper in Estrada. Mathysse/Lujan would do nothing for him accept give him a few rounds at this point. I think he can beat Judah. Judah is a credible name in the division. After Judah, take on a Margarito or Clottey and see whats what...

I agree with you on that. It would look pretty good on his resume if he wins. Hes still a former two time champion regardless of his current status.

He's already supposed to fight Quintana isn't he?

that would be a good matchup.

Everytime I hear Quintana vs Berto as a possible fight, I get flashbacks from the beating Joel Julio received. I think it would be a good, close fight.

The problem I see with Berto is that he has been fed a lot of tomato cans. He has only beaten 2 credible fighters, Cosme Rivera and Estrada. I would like to see him fight a couple more of these type of fighters before stepping up in class. So after reading all of your ideas, I think Gomes is his best option for his next fight. After Gomes or a similar opponent, he can step up to a Judah or Quintana.

He should fight Kermit the Frog. He'd beat him.

no he wouldnt. kermit would beat berto. too big. i think a gomez fight would be good, then a judah fight, then we'll see...

I think a fight against Mark Suarez would be good...then if he gets by him then he should be ready to fight Gomez or Judah.

Let's just say that Berto's defense needs work. He got hit with too many bombs this past weekend from a fighter that has no real serious power. I have read that Cintron would be a good match up right now but that would be handing Berto’s his first loss. He is not ready for that type of competition and David exposed that in the fight. Berto is gifted but you have to bring up a prodigy slowly in this game because if he bites more than he chews he will undoubtedly choke.

i think you are on point. 5 or 6 more estradas, matthysses, mark Suarez's over the next year to two years will do him good. he has the goods to be a star, it's just been too easy for him so far. a fighter with a suspect defense should not fight cintron.

he should fight Oktay urkal, if he can win impresively by a knock out he would do better than tzyu and cotto

[Primal Instinx]

Oktay gave a hell of a fight to Kosta...it would be a good measure to see what Berto does in the event that his power does not prevail in the fight because Oktay can take a punch.
