    This Andre Berto stuff is bull****...

    HBO still call him an up and coming prospect.

    The guy was supposed to be this huge puncher, but once he stepped up and started fighting some real contenders, he hasn't done anything even remotely exciting.

    I've given up on Berto completely.

    Agree with you man. It ain't so much the weak opposition he is facing but, dude is boring to watch. He used to be an entertaining fighter to watch but all he does is hold.

      He needs to rematch Collazo and prove he is the better fighter. Hlatshwayo isn't a bad option either. He just needs to impress everyone. The fight with Urango was like getting teeth pulled. He holds way too much now. Maybe a new world class trainer could help the problem.

          I think they match him soft for a reason, what do think would happen to their meal ticket if he fought Cotto or Mosley? He'd be no more undefeated.

            He hasn't really even faced real contenders except Collazo who arguably beat him.

            He's well protected.

                he ent that bad,hes still young
                still a good prospect
                i do find it funny that people critisize hatton for clinching a lot and 2 of his fights where he clinched most were urango and collazo,yet when berto does it nobody seems bothered,i understand why dont worry,just pointing it out

                  The bottom line is that once Berto, Haymon, Dibella and that Eminem trainer he's got realized that his chin was suspect they changed his style. Before he got chin checked for the first time he fought just like he fought in the amateurs, which was all out power and action. Once he got chin checked he turned into a 1--2 guy who would occassionally throw the hook following the right as long as he thought his opponent wasn't in position to punch back. He now 1-2's and holds and takes it to the scorecards. And lets not get to excited about Isaac Hlatshwayo. Isaac Hlatshwayo is a feather fisted blown up lightweight who has been handpicked by the DiBella camp. This will be another win for Berto in a boring fashion. Berto is a fraud that we need to quit tuning in to.

                    I'd love to see Kell Brook get a stab at him. Kell's style would give Berto all sorts of problems.
