What if Mosley loses to Berto?

[dans]

I don't see this as the blow out that people are making it out to be. I'm leaning towards Mosley but idk why is everyone thinking it will be walk in the park, Berto is not a come-forward fighter.

Exactly. Everyone is predicting a Mosley KO. Mosley's last two opponents have been come forward fighters, and Mosley had brutal KO's, but that's what Mosley likes.

Take a look at some other recent guys that fought Mosley that aren't strictly come forward fighters.

Miguel Cotto (loss, UD)
Jose Luis Cruz (UD, no KO)
David Estrada (UD, no KO)
Winky Wright (2 losses, UDs)

What happened with a come forward fighter Vargas? 2 Mosley KOs.

He leads with his chin sometimes though, and that's what caused him to get dropped against Rivera. Mosley will crush Berto I think. I'd rather see Mosley step in Pavlik's place and fight Paul Williams. But P-Will has got all the big names shook. Dzinziruk deserves credit for wanting to fight him though.

Mosley get this one. he has more experienced boxer. he has seen it all. Berto has a slim chance though. underdogs always have a chance to win.

Plus everybody forgets how incredibly fast Berto is! This will in no way be an easy match for Suga Shane.

[M.I Truth ?]

If Mosley looks like he did against Mayorga then Berto has a shot. I don't think Mosley can load up on shots like he did with Tony so this may be a close fight.

It seems to me that Mosley didn't load up on his shots when he fought Margarito. He only did that when Margarito was on spaghetti legs. He set up everything with jabs and body shots.

If you watch the Cotto fight and then the Tony fight you can see a difference in the way he threw punches. Because Cotto is a good boxer Mosley was more speed based and you didnt see him throw with all the power he has. In the Tony fight he was able to swing hard shots very often and didn't use his great speed as much. What I'm getting at is the berto fight may be based more on speed and boxing and Berto can survive if thats the climate. I still would lean to Shane winning but Berto would have chance if this is the case.

Berto has a shot, but it would be more like Mosley losing than Berto winning. Berto has not shown me anything about his boxing skill which tells me he's ready to stand in there with someone who is very physical and technically good. I also question his chin. He seems to get rocked by less than great punchers. I think in the end, unless Mosley comes in like ****, he'll be too much for him.

Mosley can throw bombs, which might get Berto out of there.

But people are forgetting Berto can throw pretty good shots too. Great Hooks and uppercuts, just ****ing devastating if landed flush. And I would give speed edge to Berto cuz he's this young kid, though prime for prime Mosley would be a bit faster.

I still got Mosley I think... a little hard to tell this far out... but it will by no means be a blow out

Berto doesn't even punch as hard as Cotto, and has less boxing intelligence and he throws a slapping jab. Berto is more hype than substance and Mosley would beat him because of it.
