Why does Andre Berto want to fight light welterweights?

[Sugar Jay]

because who the **** is there to fight in the welter division thats gonna generate any money?? the top welters are all tied up....he wants to get paid and light welter has potential....he would make more moey fighting paulie or tim bradley or amir khan or JMM then a rematch with collazo......be serious besides the top 4 the welter divison is ass....cotto isnt gonna wanna fight berto,

[iHateThePacMan]

are you saying that he wants to be just like floyd and picking little guys below his weight division

Probably. Why not.

im saying its a business, they pay their dues, they deserve to make money....its not always about what fans like you want. If "picking" on little guys equals bigger pay days then i dont see what the problem is...you train and dedicate your life to a violent sport to be able to make all the money you can....stop being ******.....

and i wouldnt mind being floyd, have you seen the **** he has and the money hes made??? pride doesnt pay the bills

Berto is a big welterweight. Instead of going for smaller men like Forbes, Malignaggi and Urango, for once he should fight a super welterweight.

[alt-mellow]

cos hes a paper champ and he knows it.

[TITO SEVERE]

During recent days, Andre Berto's team tried to get him a fight with Paulie Malignaggi, but Paulie turned it down.

Then he tried to get a fight with light welterweight Zab Judah, Judah turned it down...

Andre Berto has already fought light welterweight Juan Urango and Steve Forbes, who's fought mostly between super featherweight and light welterweight.

Why doesn't Andre Berto seek opponents in welterweight? Or, just for once, fight a light middleweight instead of a carefully chosen smaller guy?

A better question is why does Vitali want to fight any heavy weight with a decent punch that has a chance at exposing his little brother for what he really is?? A china chinned hugger with good boxing skills and no heart. hmmm answer that one and oh yeah I expect your little red flag to go off on my profile so it is what it is.
