Why does HBO baby a unknown fighter in Berto?

[King Flawless]

Clottey has fought and lost in very close bouts to Margarito and Cotto. Berto has fought Collazo. What a **** post.

Your resume is bulit on your wins NOT losses

Berto best win is a prime Collazo. Clottey's best win was a shot Judah

Berto's resume > Clotteys overrated Ghanaian ass resume

[Pullcounter]

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 he needs a new trainer. his current trainer teaches him to hold and clinch when he has all the speed and power in the world.

Berto is a typical HBO hypejob. He is paid millions is fight blown up 140lbers and Ricky 'Hugman' Hatton victims. He makes every fight EXTREMEMLY tedious and couldn't knockout a C+ level fighter if his life depended on it.

He has NO inside game at all, gets gifts from judges, thinks he is worth $1M pay-days, is boring as **** and is meant to be a 'champion' but sits on his paper belt fighting no-hopers and having HBO/his promoters rob guys that beat him.

The first time he fights an elite WW (Clottey, Williams, Cotto, Mosely) he is battered senseless and forced to quit within 6.

This is it 100%. He's too fast to be fighting inside all the damn time.

It seems like HBO thought he was gonna be the next big thing and gave him the RJJ/Mayweather treatment. Granted, RJJ and Mayweather put in WAY more work before they were allowed to fight lower level opp. on the network the way Berto has.

HBO loves the faster fighters in the game, if Dirrell wouldn't have purposely stunk out the joint against Stevens, he'd be a staple too.

Berto sucks i agree, but what does speaking french has to do with boxing

[Savino]

Not his biggest fan but would like to see him step up his level of competition now.

[The Gambler1981]

Berto is quite good actually, I would bet on him against almost any welterweight if the numbers were right. I do not think Clottey,Mosley would have an easy time with Berto at all and those are close to 50/50 fights. I have always thought Cotto would have problems with Berto aswell considering his uppercut, but Cotto would have to be the favorite.

The lower end guys I think he will beat, even with Collazo it is likely that he would have an easier go the second time around.

Just a little comedic add on.

Berto loses to Mosley

When has an American lost to Mosley. He choose to fight Clottey instead of Berto

Berto is haitian, he fought for them in the Olympics. Born there, and moved to the US while he was young. He is no more American than Joshua Clottey who has been living in America for a while.
