    berto - how do you guys rate him

    i seen this guy fight on an undercard a year or so ago & i was very impressed, i have to admit, i think ive only seen him twice but i like the kid, i think hes got skills

    how do you guys who have seen him fight more rate his chances against people like cotto mayweather etc in that talent packed division ??

    i love this dude ive followed his last 10 fights...

    his management has been doing an excellent job...

    every opponent is a little bit better than the last..

    even tho the last guy he fought, ******... he wasnt supposed to suck..

    in the next yr or so, he will be fighting for a belt... and he ll do a damn good job


    Defense is the only thing he needs work on, and hes admitted it himself

      I think he is an excellent fighter, can fight going back and forward. Definitely a future world champ, i met him in vegas in the mgm when i went for the hatton v mayweather fight, saw him after the fight he said 'I didn't realise I had any fans in England'. ha ha

        I agree, Berto is still young and there is no reason to rush him in a talent laden division too soon. He has excellent offensive tools. Once his defense and experience are improved he'll be a very tough fight for anyone.

          He's very good, but will have to wait out a thinning of the herd at welterweight before he can make a serious run toward the top. But given his style, I see a few knockout losses in his future.

              Management is bringing him up beautifully. They are not bringing him up to beat a champion, they are bringing him up to stay one.

                  Berto is steadly improving. He is looking better and better with each fight. I think he and his managers are doing a wonderful job. He is the future of a talented pack division and he will be champ one day IMO.

                  The only thing I dont like about him is he doesnt move his head enough. He defense is kinda suspect and he needs to correct that little flaw before he walk with the big dogs of the division.

                    Berto should be ready to fight a top 6-10 Welter this year. Looking forward to seeing him fight any of the top 10.
