Clottey vs Berto???

[Unknown Champ]

Who do u pick and why?

[Blue Öyster]

clottey would ko berto!!!

because berto is a paper champ!!! and a protected fighter!!!

[Jim Jeffries]

clottey would ko berto!!!

because berto is a paper champ!!! and a protected fighter!!!

And Clottey is not?

I'd say either Clottey by KO or Berto by UD, not sure which. A year from now, Berto wins. Now, pretty big step up for Andre, so I'm not sure.

I actually can't see Berto beating Clottey or any of the other welterweight champions right now, hes too green and fresh. Hes not ready for the kind of heat that Margarito or Williams is likely to put on him and hes not a one punch knockout artist. Clottey would completely take advantage of Berto's defensive's weaknesses and box him to a unanimous decision.

Berto is a paper champion but Clottey isn't. A paper champion is winning the title belt against a lesser opponent as a gimme. Judah was ranked in the top 10 and this fight was seen by many as 50/50. Was Cotto a paper champion when he won the title in his fight with Quintana? The title was vacant.
