Berto Willing To Step in, Fight Miguel Cotto on June 13

[Maxshayne]

I see the fight as a competitive one.Colazo is no bum.So of course Berto going to struggle with him.


Cotto is not superman he struggled with an old Mosley who at the time had a crappy conditioning coach and Crappy trainer Jack Mosley.And Cotto lost to Unskilled Margarito.

That fight with Collazo is going to make Berto a better fighter believe me.Every fight is a learning experience.

That fight with Collazo was a good Preparation for elite fighters for Berto.

Berto has balls, i respect that.
but i think it's a little too early for him to step up with someone like cotto.

[borikua]

That's good to hear.

let see what berto can bring to the table

i bet Collazo is pissed right now and he would be a much harder fight for Cotto. Berto is going to be KOed plain and simple. Cotto never loses to smaller men but first he has to get past the bigger Jennings.

BoxingScene.com was informed by promoter Lou DiBella that WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (24-0, 19KOs) is willing to step in for Antonio Margarito, and take on Miguel Cotto (32-1, 26KOs) in a unification bout on June 13. Cotto still has to deal with his upcoming fight with Michael Jennings, which takes place on February 21 for the vacant WBO title. [details]

BRING IT ON THEN!!!

glad to hear he will finally step up!

[boojee]

Oh yeah great news. I think Berto can pull it off. i just hope i dont hear any excuses from Cotto fans that he is shot.

[Verstyle]

Everyone complains about how every fighter ducks this one and that one, and now one (maybe untested) fighter wants to step up the competition and he's ******?

I say, more power to you Berto, much respect and I hope htis fight goes down, as I'd love to see it.

Exactly..... Ppl need to make up their damn minds.

lol collazo shouldnt have talked ****, now he wont get his rematch

Rematch? Berto could've been the guy asking for the rematch. Collazo didn't get the decision, but could have been declare the winner.

[infamous1486]

im a huge fan of both fighters since im puerto rican and berto is from my home town in florida.... but i really don't think that berto is even on the same level as cotto or mosely and he still needs to grow as a boxer. he still needs to fight a coulple other average boxers like carlos quintana and zab judah.
