    Berto is already being lined up to fight mosley next year. He won't jeopardize that payday.

      Berto is being ******, what more should he expected against an unknown opponent? I swear, no one cares about legacy anymore, he should understand that, having 2 belts will automatically give him the huge fights he yearns for.

        I think it's $750,000 for the whole fight. If it's that much for him alone, then he should have taken it.

          In this case, it's excusable because he's likely the opponent for Shane Mosley which of course would be a more desirable fight.

                  Word going around is that Clottey will most likely be the opponent.

                    I think Berto has a better chance against Clottey than Mosley. I think Berto can beat Clottey.

                      i agree dont see the big deal about him. collazo hit him at will and stunned him. imagine what a strong puncher who doesnt tire would do to him. he will never be an elite boxer but he feels its cool to turn down that money. hes a dumbass
