HBO could be setting up a Berto vs the winner of Margarito - Mosley

[Pullcounter]

hbo expected berto to win and then after margarito beats mosley, match berto with mosley (marg will fight cotto win or lose), but now berto will rematch collazo.

You think they'll push for a Collazo rematch. I don't think his people want to do that. He almost lost that fight. Collazo does deserve it though.

I really don't want to see this happen to Berto quite yet. It's painfully obvious that he wouldn't last against either guy. Marg pushes too hard and Berto's stamina isn't (or at least wasn't on Saturday night) anywhere near the level it needs to be for a fight like that. He'd need to get in and out quick and use more angles against Marg, but I don't see his feet as being quick enough yet. Marg would approach the fight like a harder hitting, harder working Collazo with a better chin. That would spell doom for Berto in the shape he was in 2 days ago.

A rematch with Collazo will give him everything he can handle for now.

They maybe would have put Berto in with Mosley after he losses to Margarito if Berto would have clearly beat Collazo and Shane would be old,past it and slow enough for the young lion.But as it is now Berto vs Collaoz II will prolly be the next fight for Berto.Kellerman already pitched it out at the post fight interviews and both said yes.

While everything you said above is accurate, Berto is the Champion and should not be treated as a prospect anymore. If they're gonna continue treating him that way, then he has no business holding that belt.

In all actuallity, he'll probably fight Jesus Soto Karass who is ranked number 2 by the WBC just under Collazo. Funny thing is the WBC doesn't even have Shane or Margarito in thier top 15, WTF?

Hey I agree 100%. I don't like it when guys are babied either. I just said I don't want to see it happen. Marg just torches the man. But that's one of the biggest turnoffs about the sport these days.

That's what you get when you have this alphabet soup BS. It's frustrating for newer fans like myself... sometimes I hear people talking about a Super-welterweight fight at 154, and I'm thinking "Isn't that Junior-middleweight??".

If Mosley loses i wouldn't mind seeing a Berto/Mosley matchup.

Berto clearly isn't ready for either Margarito or Mosely. He didn't beat Collazo in the opinion of most..Margarito would destroy him and Mosely in his late thirties would would beat him as well.

Yup, but he's the Champ. He aint a prospect anymore.
