Andre Berto and Tim Bradley

[MJ406]

both of these fighters are seen as the future of there divisions.

both WBC title holders (at 147 and 140)

and both 23-0. I think they're even the same age (25)

the next fight for them could be 1 of their tougher tests as

January 17th Berto defends his title vs Luis Collazo

and April 4th Bradley defends and tries to unify the WBO title vs Kendall Holt

**who do you see as more likely to successfully defend there title. and who has a brighter future?

[THE REED]

I think Bradley will have an easier time, being he only has Hatton and Pacman to worry about, and possibly Ortiz.

While Berto has Cotto, Margarito, Williams, and even Cintron, Quintana, and Mosley could cause him problems....

I like Berto, but in Reality, its hard to say right now.

[Patty Tanager]

Overhyped Yanks that have fought no one.

[PR Boxer]

They both have great chances to defend their titles, in my opinion the one with the most brighter future should be Timothy Bradley, his title fight was against a tough boxer in Junior Witter and looks to be skyrocketing to greatness with an attitude of going out to fight anyone, whereas Berto is great but he still hasn't been exactly tested I mean his toughest opponent and the one with most recognitio has been Stevie Forbes, we'll have to see how he does against Collazo to be sure of his future.

not that pacman isnt a hard test, my point was berto just has MORE people to worry about in his division

that's what I like about it, potential is looming for both

besides the 3 fighters you named for Bradley, he has Holt next up

and Berto doesn't really have to worry about even half the names you mentioned

Margarito is facing Mosley next ... Cotto after that

and Cintron's looking to fight Clottey (don't see Kermit winning that one)

but even with Marg, Cotto, Mosley etc all tied down with fights Berto's still gotta get by Collazo later this month to stay relevant.

you could almost say the same toward Bradley .. Witter was very negative in their fight and kinda caughted it up

and Stevie Forbes aside (who was Berto's first title defense)

look who Bradley took on in his first title defense .. Edner Cherry who is a natural Lightweight.

IMO both still have a lot to prove.

Both could easily lose their next fights.

Bradley because Holt is a good Pro, Berto because this is the first time he's faced a top 20 WW and his skillset or power may well be found wanting, it's hard to say with any accuracy since he hasn't fought anyone decent.

Bradley is more likely to have a big future if he's smart enough to stay away from Hatton for a couple of years, thing is I like the fact he wants Hatton, I just don't think it's particularly smart, A close win or loss in a couple of years would serve him better than the pounding that he would get right now..
