    I used to really follow this guy. Sadly, I predict that he loses within his next five fights.
    I agree. He's obviously got some great offensive skills but I don't know...he comes across as mentally weak to me....someone who couldn't handle adversity very well which he will likely face against the elite of the division.

      I like Berto a lot and I think he can be a serious threat in the division.

        Very good prospect who could give the guys you mentioned trouble. If he keeps taking slow steps up in competition he could do something. I hope they don't throw him in the wolves right away.

          I like Berto & think he has serious potential! He has some chin & defense issues but what prospect/contender doesn't have problems? I think he will be a threat in the WW division soon enough; He's young & it's no need to rush at this point...

            i think berto WILL matter, and pretty quickly...

            i think hes being managed VERY well....

            his competition steps up a little bit more every fight...

            he doesnt matter much now... but in 2 years or less, hes gonna be a force to be reckoned with

                I question Berto's chin that journeyman on FNF dropped him it was 3 fights ago I believe but he is fun to watch.

                  Yeah in 2 years he will do his thing.But i would luv to see judah vs Berto that would be a action packed fight.Or even Chavez jr vs Berto 2 very aggresive fighters would be perfect

                    Berto is a quality fighter however my criticism of him is his defence is awfull ,and ive heard rumours that he dont have a very stellar chin
