Can Berto beat Cotto?

[savorduhflavor]

Berto and Quintana are Southpaws
Berto and Quintana have good right hooks
Berto and Quintana have solid right-hand jabs
Berto is slightly quicker than Quintana but not as quick as Zab
Berto and Quintana try the body much more than Judah
Berto and Quintana can go 12 rounds pretty easily..
Berto and Quintana would never last 12 with Cotto..lmao!

I can see your comparison with Zab but the only 2 things I see are the speed which aren't very similar imo..and the uppercuts which are led by 2 different hands..an outside right-hand uppercut won't catch Cotto like a left outside or even an inside right..

I'm not knockin Berto..he's just GREEN..nothin wrong wit that..his time will come..but his time ain't now..feel me?

Great points, but I think you're underrating Berto's hand speed. It's pretty close to being on Zab's level, and it's a hell of a lot faster than Quintanas.

Everything else I see what you mean. Especially on the uppercuts, thats a great point on something I didn't think of. Berto does usually throw his lead uppercut with his right. Solid points.

And at the end of the day we agree...he gets stopped by Cotto at this point. I just think it'd be more competitive.

Definitely..

Like I said a year or 2 with solid opposition Berto can give any WW a run for their money..he has great attributes as of now..but the experience would not allow him to expand those attributes to their peak..

*shakes savors hand*

Good debate homie..green K sent!

****...you're right..I was thinking Zab and Quintana..Confusion at it's finest!..lol..

[mellow_mood]

............. leave

[Mojita]

idk, Cottos dad is close to black .

[Send0]

needs more experience

[RL_GMA]

I also dont think berto would be standing there like a dunce just letting cotto hit him either

True, but he'd still get hit. Cotto's jab will keep Berto at bay since he tends to keep his hands down after throwing combos. Berto hasn't fought a really good counter puncher yet and Cotto can land some heavy leather with Berto's laziness sometimes at getting back to defense.

But of course I'm basing this on them fighting today. Almsot a mismatch right now, but without a doubt a win for Cotto IMO

What are your thoughts? I personally think he can... especially cuz hes black... he definitely has that going for him. :roy4::roy4::roy4:

His grandmother is white, so he's not 100% black.

[Silencers]

He can but I don't think he will right now from what I've seen.
