why is berto fighting forbes again?!?

[My Name Is...]

Wanted Collazo but Forbes will be a good gauge to see how much he's progressed.

how? Forbes will sit and absorb punches. Forbes doesnt even have a punchers chance because he doesnt have good power. Berto is better in EVERY category. That is not a test.

Well people are saying that Berto has no real power, Forbes has a great chin and has never been stopped. I don't think it's a test but Forbes comes to fight and it should show us just exactly where Berto is. If he looks great he could possibly be in line for the big fights.

It's not Berto fault that PBF retired and the WBC just handed him a belt, everyone knows he's not the champ. Andre is an exciting young up and coming title holder, I would rather have him take baby steps especially when he's fighting in the second most stacked division in boxing.

I agree berto is moving along slow but to say he's a ***** is just ****** you got a lot of anger homie. But hey 50 told me " Go head and switch the style up if they hate then let'em hate and watch the money pile up"

because Stevie Forbes doesnt have fists. he has knubs that they put gloves over.

cotton knubs

How many more baby steps? He has damn near 30 fights!!! This is just ridiculous. He has fought enough bums. You are a champ, a very hyped figher, and the supposed "Future" of boxing. How many more bums does he need before he even takes on a GOOD NAME.

Do some research homie and you will see I was against that fight. Berto is a champ now. Almost 30 fights against ****in bu,s. What if P Will fought Forbes? Or Cotto, Margs, and Floyd fought Forbes? They would get ****ing killed by us. If Berto didnt feel it was time to step up, then let someone else that is wiling to fight get the belt. At least fight Cintron. But Cintron will REALLY KICK HIS ASS. End that career real quick. Cintron just happened to run into Margs, but he isnt as bad as sonme guys make him out to be. Berto fight a good name AT LEAST. Berto brother is in MMA and he is a *****, with no chin. Well remember, the apples dont fall to far from the tree. ***** runs in his blood.

You do make some valid points. However, Forbes would be a step down for Cotto, Williams, or Mayweather. You have to admit that he'll be Berto's best opponent so far. As long as he starts stepping it up regularly I'm ok with it (for now). From what I understand, Cintron isn't even looking for a fight right now. He is psychologically weak and I think Berto goes right through him anyway. Collazo would be the best possible opponent but I'm guessing HBO like Forbes better because of his name recognition. At least he's not fighting Alfonzo Gomez.

Its not hate. Once they saw that he couldnt take a DECENT punch, not even a punch from a pure puncher, they backed off and put more bums on him. Rodrigues and Trabant are light years behind Estrada. WHO HE FOUGHT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO!!!!! It is about progressing, not regressing.

So will Forbes put up more of a fight than Estrada? No. So why fight him? His opponents are regressing. Instead of taking a step up, your a taking a step back.

its not a bad fight considering the cans he's been fed.this is a step up.better forbes than collazo.slow build up to competition.forbes than collazo.

Forbes is a bigger threat to beat Berto than Estrada was IMO. Estrada had a made to order style for Andre.
