all respect drew... 15 people agreeing with you hardly proves you're right.
I realize that.. and 14 people disagreeing with me hardly proves me wrong.. the more this thread goes the more I think he can't make light welterweight. I was just pointing out that the idea is not so off the wall.
No it isnt.. its not that I think he CANT make LWW... its more to the point of... how will that effect him... I can't imagine him having BETTER stamina, cutting 7 more pounds...
Berto isn't very slick, and the top of that division is large. I think his only chance at being top dog is finding a new division. And Cutting muscle is not neccessarily a bad thing. More muscle is not always better.
Especially in boxing. You want the limbs to be loose, not tight.
In all honesty, Berto isn't going to amount to much.
Collazo showed you don't have to be overly powerful to beat Andre.
I think Berto is a lesser Judah without the mental deficiencies.

He'd also be carrying around less muscle and not running into welterweights.. I realize Jeff Lacy can't just wake up one day hit the gym less and have Jermaine Taylor's build, Just considering the option. As per BrendanWoodside, maybe he can grow vertically a bit.
btw, roy jones not making WW is obvious. Berto, being a short WW and trying to make LW is not obvious, its a debatable topic.
Berto started fighting at 162 lbs. He weighed 160 going into his last fight. No doubt he does some serious drying out to make welter. I bet if you asked him or his people about making 140, they would laugh at the idea.
Half the people polled don't think it's ridiculous, thanks for the input.
And thanks for your response. Berto is an undefeated welterweight champion. What motivation would he have to punish his body and fight for a lesser title?

He is not a welterweight champion he has a trinket called a title. He is a maturing prospect. He is a short, short welter. I have a hard time seeing hime beating bigger guys
