Who Should Berto Fight Next?

Maybe the winner of Clottey vs Judah?

That aint' a bad choice. It's not like the former WBC welterweight champ rushed to unify anything at welterweight by fighting the other champs.

Although I swear Judah has more than 9 lives in this business, and Clottey gets way too much credit for his loss.

You sir, are smoking something. Top 2 0r 3? Behind Cotto, Margs, Paul, Clottey, Cintron, Mosely? You sir need to get to rehab ASAP!!!!

Mosley probably won't be around for another 2 years and he certainly isn't going to get any better.

Cintron's punching power is potentially a problem for any fighter but I Berto is far more skilled and would beat him.

I will reserve judgement on Clottey as I haven't seen enough of him.

Margarito is vastly overrated and after Cotto is through with him I don't see where he is going to go with his career. I have absolutely no doubt that Berto will be able to beat him within the 18-24 month timescale I mentioned.

Williams is another I will reserve judgement on as he impressed against Quintana last time but looked awful first time.

Cotto is, quite simply, in a different league to the rest of the division and I don't see Berto or anyone else beating him.

Now that Berto has the WBC belt, what should his next move be? I still ain't sure if he's ready for the WW elite yet. I'd like to see him face at least 1 more lower level ranked fighter before he gets rushed into a big main event. A fight wit Collazo, Cintron, or that Bonsu guy might be a good test for him.

collazo is a winnable fight for berto so why not

I say Judah beats Clottey, turns back the hands of time and KO's Berto and is back on top. I believe he realizes this is his last hurrah and will buckle down and get the belt back.

How many times has this been said about Judah.....

Quintana or the winner of Judah/Clottey.

Collazo is a winnable fight for any of the WW's because a Jr. Welter beat him. But thats why they will pick Collazo, because they don't want Berto to get exposed to early. Collazo is perfect for him. No punch, no real speed, average defense, and is not a legitimate threat to Berto.

Dude ain't ready for the elite of the 147LB class...He is the most protected fighter out there...Rivera,Rodriguez,Trubant Jeez atleast fight someone with a heartbeat maybe Mosley would be a good test to see where he is at or Collazo

That's a statement. I don't question his talent at all, but his last 6 fights or so he's had all these chances and messes them up. What is he? 2-3-1 with 2 ko's or something like that?

I'd really have to see it to believe it.
One thing though, Clottey fades late and so does Judah so the possibility is there.
It's never about his skills below the neck, but above.
