Yeah Berto vs Collazo will be a good test but I got Berto by UD. Pretty much what Shane did to Collazo..

Not hating on Berto but he took too many shots from forbes, his defense is awful and he only relies on his hand speed. I think Collazo will give him a lot of problems. He is not ready yet for Margaritos and Cottos of the world. I think a guy with descent Punching power will ko him. I hope not because I like watching him fight, but he wont last long as a champ!!!

Its not like Berto was fighting a bum.I could understand your logic if he was.

I understand that, but if he gets hit like that against a guy like Margarito or a Cotto is lightouts for him. He needs to improve dramaticly in the defense department and he needs to show more movement.

yeah, collazo will be a good test but it might be surprising, he is faster than Forbes.....

Unfortunately this fight was way too one sided. I was expecting much more from Forbes. I expected Berto to win but only by a close decision. I guess Forbes doesn't have it anymore.

But Berto looked very good tonight. By the end of 2009 or beginning of 2010, he should be ready for an elite welterweight.

[Silencers]

Collazo would be a good fight for him.

Since when Marg and Cotto are 1 punch K.O artist.

And if you pay attention to the fight Berto tightened up his defense later in the fight and started to get hit much much less.

Give him two fights and i predicts he beats both Marg and Cotto and please quote me on that.
