Are people overrating Mosley and underrating Berto?

[MASSMAN]

There are alot of ignorant boxing fans!

More people seem to be assuming Mosley has just aged overnight and will stare dumbfounded while Berto speeds around him. Like Mosley has never seen anyone with speed before.

Exactly... Boxers who dont take alot of punishment and who take care of themselves dont get old overnight. Shane has good defense and is always in great shape. He wont get old overnight. The year layoff may have added 3 more years to his career. Berto is in trouble.

Mak, no one in particular....just the way that he was KOin fools....he was a beast before the Forbes fight.....I think he only let like 3-4 of his fights go the distance before Forbes....so his tenacity and ability to KO WWs (albeit journeymen and fringe fighters) was pretty good. Maybe its just me...but he very much reminded me of Terrible Terry....

yea, Terry was a personal favorite and i just had to ask...Berto's had some nice stoppages but none of the Norris-Joe Gatti variety

I think mosley might be over looking berto and will be in a 4 a suprise.....

[MidnightSpecial]

Yo i wanna see this one bad.

Both dudes are ****ers.

Hopefully shane didnt get soft chasing mayweather and pacquiao for a fight.
Berto better not even think age is a matter. Shanes coming to make a statement.

As a seasoned fighter.....I highly doubt Mosley "overlooks" anyone.....he knows that if he did "overlook" Berto....he would get smashed....BUT....he also knows that if he fights HIS fight....Berto will get smashed....big difference between overlooking and confidence.

Terry's fights against Santana (2 DQs and the 2nd round TKO), Taylor and Rios.....those were pretty special to me....now that I think about it even more...Berto now reminds me of a WW Azuma Nelson...."the professor"....hehehehe

Agreed...unfortunately Mosley ****s harder....(no ****).
Again....if Collazo can catch Berto....imagine what Mosely can do....I see Berto getting sparked in the latter rounds....just my opinion though.

[FLY TY]

Berto has a 50/50 shot at this. Mosley looked like **** against Mayorga, and only looked good against a stationary target.

agreed. ppl forget mosley was a 12th round KO away from losing to mayorga...

i remember after the fight, everybody was saying shane needs to retire...

i actually took up for for the guy, like "damn, he did WIN this fight."

i agree, one fight can change ppl's perceptions of a fighter. margarito looked indestructable against cotto, then got KO'ed by shane in his next fight. shane looked past it against mayorga, but then looked "prime" against margarito. what shane comes out against berto? - is the question...

i pick andre for the upset, but this is a close fight, IMO.
