    Why does HBO baby a unknown fighter in Berto?

    1. He is by far the worst WW with a name.

    2. He loses to Clottey, Margarito, Cotto, Mosley, Williams, and would probably lose to Quintana and Cintron.

    3. He got a gift against an opponent Mosley man handled and dominated for 12 rounds with ease. An opponent he was supposed to show his skills against.

    4. He couldn't put on a show against a much smaller Urango who is basically a punching bag.

    5. He doesn't have a crowd pleasing style like a Paul Williams, and somehow is treated better by HBO.

    6. He has no following whatsoever.

    7. He speaks french.

    Berto got talent, but I agree. **** him. I really wanted to see SSM **** him up. I hope Collazo gets a rematch.

      I'd pick him over Cintron and Quintana but that's me...

      Floyd retired so HBO had to find someone who they thought may be able to take his spot...

      Lol at he speaks French...

          If he fights Collazo next in a rematch I'll be happy or even Hlatshwayo. But he needs to realize how much he'll get paid.

            Fast hands, reflexes...not the slickness tho cuz Berto gets touched...and I don't see any defense from Berto really(he holds instead)

            Paul Williams has no definition...one night he's a welterweight...a month later he's a middleweight...He should stay at one weight and do some work and then make some moves...

              Much smaller Urango? Urango is as wide as they come. He could fight comfortable at WW



              And Clottey has a worse resume than Berto. I'm tired of people overrating him just because he's a tough fight.

                Berto weighs 170 on fight night. Urango came in at 150 for that fight.

                    He has also fought Judah, Cotto, and Margarito, and will be fighting Mosley soon.
