    Berto is a better version of Zab, imo. Technique, stamina and heart I would take Berto over Judah all day everyday.

    If that is your premise, Cotto could easily lose.

      Maybe..depends on Cotto..If he elects to trade he can get caught silly..but I think he'll be more patient and measured..and time his shots more clever..

      But he said it's a mix of the old Cotto and a "new one"..so he might go toe to toe..which I don't think it's too dangerous..cuz Judah hits MUCH harder than Berto I believe..and Cotto has improved since the Judah fight to look that vulnerable again against a speedy brawler like Berto/Judah..

          Then Clottey? Berto is well known to HBO audience they have featured him a lot. I think HBO would pay more for Cotto Berto then Cotto Clottey. Clottey is a dangerous very good fighter, but he brings no cash to the table at all, he is basically a guy you would fight only as a last resort.

          They also may view Berto as more beatable, but I think that is a mistake.

            Because HBO likes Berto and will offer more cash for that fight...

              I can. HBO is really behind Berto, and he's already had one or two million dollar purses. As for Cintron, I dont understand why he's worth more financially.

                Berto is an entertaining/flashy fighter too. I think they pose the same threat personally. Clottey is more durable though.

                  I agree. I'm cool with either Berto or Clottey. I like to see Clottey get it because he's worked hard and Berto's gonna get plenty of chances. But I won't sweat over it.

                  UNIFICATION BABY!

                    It's possible, but he better not. Leave Berto to SSM or somebody else for now. I want Cotto-Clottey dammit!
