Right now it looks like Shane Mosley is going to fight Berto in the fall. This will be an anti-climatic fight I guarantee. I'm one of the people who had Berto beating Collazo by a close margin. But I don't understand why a guy who barely squeaks by a guy that Mosley man handled gets a shot at him, while Paul Williams holds a convincing win over the guy who beat Shane twice. And a Berto-Mosley fight will be ugly with a lot of clinches. And how much money is Mosley going to get out of this fight? Goosen is willing to pay Mosley $3 million to fight Paul Williams. Mosley only got close to $2 million to fight Margarito and you know he isn't going to get close to that for a Berto fight. Mosley is ducking Paul Williams until he proves me wrong. Everybody is free to give their two cents.

Mosley will probably at least get 2-3 million against Berto.

We'll see, but you could possibly be right. Goosen probably needs to offer Mosley more than what he's offering him so we can see a more competitive match up.

While I'm a fan of the tall skinny man,I'm a fan of the sport too!!Mosley has been fighting bigger guys forever,If he fights Berto and wins,he just unifies some titles!!Getting beat by the Punisher does nothing for him!!

I rather get 2 million in a fight that would give me a title, and line up big paydays against an opponent I would demolish, rather than get 3 million against a man who would beat me.

Unifying titles don't mean as much as fighting for the Ring belt. I believe a Mosley-Williams fight would provide us with that. I don't want to see a green hype job with a boring style get a shot over someone who deserves it more. Mosley may have money problems but other fighters need to eat too.

Berto and Williams have the same manager...Berto aint getting that fight Over Williams....

Williams has a better chance to beat SSM then Berto does...Berto aint gettin that fight.

But how much money does Berto really bring to the table? What has he done? He is not a big name either.
