      With bigger guys in this division, Berto would be well suited to go to 140, where he has a more realistic chance of winning a title.

          if berto steps to a puncher like cintron or cotto he is gonna get clocked, and hes not gonna fare much better against any of the other top guys

          i think even zab judah, who i hate to give credit to, would trounce berto

            I like Berto but I'm concerned about his chin. With his style he is going to get hit, and I didn't like his body language after he got dropped by Rivera. I thought he may have been saved by the bell. But I do like Berto and hope this was something he just had to get past.

                If u ask me,HBO have more intrest in Berto then these four,i think there trying to build him up,Di'Bella is smart,putting him on all his PPVs undercards,so if anything,he will be more popular in the coming years,hopefully Williams will get the same exposure now that hes on HBO

                  in 2 more years he should be good, but he needs fights right now and it's too soon, time will tell, he could fight chavez jr/judah

                    IDK is hard to count him out of anything but the division is too strong and i don't really see him taking it to the next level just yet.

                      man this kid is a beast, hes a very aggressive volume puncher with tons of speed, i want to see him step up his competition this year, i can definitley see a berto/judah fight or maybe a berto/quintanna after he loses to Williams.
