    Andre Berto: Among Today’s Elite, Wants The Best

    By Joe Harrison - In the past, the name Andre Berto meant nothing more than an undefeated prospect with a lot of potential. Today, the name Andre Berto means welterweight champion. Not “the” welterweight champion, but still a man among the best in today’s 147-pound division. By scoring a 7th-round TKO victory over Miguel Angel Rodriguez on June 21st, Berto secured the WBC belt which was left vacant by the now-retired Floyd Mayweather Jr.

          He wants the best, but is willing to settle for Steve Forbes.

              Refer to Clegg's post.

              The Collazo bout was the talk of the town, until we started hearing about Berto taking on... Steve Forbes.

              Lame.

                I like Berto. Not totally sure he is really ready to step up against the top few guys in the division yet though.

                    This is a valid point and one that I agree with. He is still pretty young. People should not forget that.
