Does Andre Berto Matter?

[P4PKING_2008]

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 it was against Cosme Rivera iirc. But he came back and won by a shutout. He was dominating the fight from start to finsih but just dropped his hands and slacked out and paid for it.

With the likes of Clottey, Cintron, Cotto, William and Margarito, gunning for welterweight supremacy,how does Berto measure into the equation?

Im just wondering when Berto is going to step up.

apparently Berto has been down in the Ameteurs a few times aswell ,David Estrada is not a really big puncher but he hurt Berto early in their fight aswell

True, true very true man. He has been hurt before. But he has a lot of power for his size and indeniable speed. The people talking about putting him in there with judah and chavez would prove to be a big mistake for him. He relies too much on his skills. With no real defence needed to be taught or learnt as he depends so much on his attacking that his opponent rarely comes back at him.

I personally feel they dont develop fighters the way they used to. As the purses get bigger and the stages to superstardom become more glamorous, its far to often nowadays that we see fighters rushed to prominence without ample time to completely mature. Though I fear this is the case for Berto, I really hope it isnt. Berto is an amazing prospect with great handspeed, sharp combinations and good skills. As they step up his level of competition, I hope they allow him to develop as a fighter. Just because a fighter beats one step up, it doesnt necessarily mean hes ready for the next. Case in point HW contender Povetkin, who at 15-0 has handlers seriously trying to have him face Wladimir! Let these guys grow into the shoes they have on now before you try to get them to fill up a champions shoes. That way you'll have more Pavliks, Jones, and Mayweathers (fighters who were brought along meticulously) instead of Brocks, Julios, and Grants (fighters who were rushed to stardom and couldnt hang in the sky with the other stars). Just my 2 cents. I know boxing.

He's young prospect who may turn out to be great. So at this very moment, he doesn't matter too much.

Andre Berto is a better fighter than Joshua Clottey.

He's on another level. The hard work Clottey has put in, in coalition with his knockout victory over an extremely blown up defenseless Corrales flat out blinded people through smoke and mirror.

They fail to see that he's a lapser, he's limited, and outside of his "ring generalship", and stamina.........he's nothing special as a fighter.

Berto has the crazy power, tenacity, heart........**** name it.
