Miguel Cotto vs. Andre Berto Possible For Early 09?

[-Antonio-]

Yikes. Talk about a step up.

Yeah, it almost makes me nervous that they would take such a fight. They've been so careful with Berto. It's like they see something we dont see in Cotto. A vulnerability.

I mean DiBella said straight up that he wont fight Marg or Williams.

Im probably the only one but I think this is bad for Cotto. You dont know how hes going to come back after a beating like that, history shows some boxers are never quite the same again.

[ACHlLLES]

Cotto will beat the ever living **** out of berto, there is no way this is true... Unless berto has huge balls.

[adrsan84]

I would love to see this. Cotto by KO is my prediction.

[Motofan]

Not a good fight for Berto just yet. That is a huge jump in competition for him. If he loses and gets beat up (which I think he will at this point) it could ruin him early. Work up to it.

I'm going with the majority here to say that Cotto is too polished of a fighter to lose this fight. However, Berto is a pretty quick, slick up and comer and has a bit of sleekness about him, I could see him giving Cotto fits, but ultimately Cotto would break him down later on. 10th round TKO for Miguel.

I'm going for the underdog....I say Berto by ko. Good rebound fight for Cotto, but we don't know how he will rebound from a fight he had won by many ppl....Berto is the fastest and probably the most powerful in the welterweight division...Naw scratch that **** Cotto by devasting body shot i hope berto or mosley pull the upset fuccking up cotto-margarito rematch...Hi Haters!

No he said berto wasn't ready for marg and williams because of their size...cotto aint that big

little stevie forbes was stunning berto all night long, of course berto was winning on points but he got stunned by a guy who is not known to be a huge puncher...

This fight ain't going to happen, unless berto is insane.

Funny how all these people say this is too soon for Berto. The guy is the WBC champion for crying out loud. He's supposed to be fighting guys like this as a CHAMPION... My prediction is Cotto by KO late. Wont be an easy one for Cotto though. He may even see canvas himself. I think he will be able to land those blistering bodyshots on Berto though...
