    I agree with you 100%. But I have to slightly disagree giving Berto another year to tune up his defensive skills

      At this point in their careers I say Clottey has the edge. He's a tough fighter that loves to scrap on the inside & has solid defense. Berto's offense is his defense & I think that could end up hurting him. Estrada landed alot of leather on him & if Clottey had those opportunities he could hurt Berto & often.

        Very interesting matchup, but im gonna have to go with Berto. I like Clottey, but i think Berto has the edge in movement, work-rate, and power.

            too soon for Berto, Clottey is too hungry and skilled at the moment. Berto would likely fall apart in the middle rounds if not sooner. He needs about 3 or 4 more fights and a couple of them should seriously test the waters.

                This would be a good fight. Berto is more skilled, but I am not sure how tough he is.

                Clottey is almost as skilled as Berto, but he is one tough son of a *****.

                Clottey takes this one in the late rounds. He takes Berto into deep water and drowns him.

                  IMO, Clottey is a little overrated. Not by mainstream fans, but the hardcore guys on here. He has unusually fast hands for a guy the plods forward. But he doesn't commit to the cause like he should with that style.. There are serious lapses in his workrate, probably because he's trying to pace himself. Despite the pacing or whatever he's doing, he still fades late in fights.

                  But hey- he fights this weekend, so maybe I'll be proven wrong by seeing a new side in Clottey.
                  when and who is he fighting? are they showin it on tv?

                    Is this one of those fights that if berto takes it right now, its too risky of a fight. But if he takes it a little bit later he can make Clottey look like ****?
