Does Berto remind anyone of Jermaine Taylor while he was coming up?

Taylor is/was better then Berto is now imo.

Berto's faster handspeed wise. Jermain may be powerful for his weight...

I've never seen Berto tire though...Jermain faded against B-Hop and Froch.

I don't like the comparison. Berto holds a vacated belt. Jermain was the REAL Middleweight Champ...

Hence why I compared him to Taylor during his come up.

Actually he resembles Meldrick Taylor's fighting style IMO.

Berto reminds me of Taylor while he was comign up. Great speed, nice combinations. Looking okay but not great against so so competition, along with the late round slow downs. I like Berto, but he may have the same problem Taylor has as soon as he faces a relentless pressure fighter with a good chin and stamina.

we bet on the magic-lakers already? and if so, i only asked for a 25K bet?

That's what I was thinking, but Meldrick didn't hold and put his punches together better...

Yeah homie. It's in the NBA thread. You said it would be official as soon as we eliminated our respected teams.
