Guys can we dead the Berto hate?

If 8 of his family hadn't died he would've fought the best WW in the world by now. Something to keep in mind.

Not counting the Mosley fight obviously. "Up until now" meant 2010.

He's still had a bunch of defenses against no hopers/140lbers, with the exception o Collazo whom he struggled mightily against.

Oh okay Gotcha. The Collazo fight is actually why I think this will be a tough fight for Berto.

Exactly. I think it will look similar.

I, for the record, thought Berto CLEARLY beat Collazo.

But Quintana, IMO, is better than Collazo, and has more pop, but he's not as tough. If Quintana lands like Collazo did, Berto will be in trouble. But Quintana also isn't eating the shots that Collazo did.

I find this a very, very, intriguing fight.

Hes fighting Quintana a HUGE threat. He has also been up to 154 Pounds. So lets stop the hate hes been through alot. Props for taking a tough fight.

I dont think ive seen anyone really hate him.

[KESSLER]

I never liked Berto. He's a good fighter, but I never really liked him.

At least 5 posters have said they've seen no hate for Berto. Go into a thread that's titled "Berto vs. Malignaggi" or "Berto vs. Holt" and then tell me if you feel the same way.

Quintana is now a HUGE threat? lol, way to go to try and overblown Williams loss to Quintana. He's been inactive for how long now? he moved up to 154 and now he has to drop to 147 for Berto, Quintana has never been a killer, he's a slick southpaw who can box, that's it. Berto will beat him in boring fashion as he has been doing with all of his oponents for the past 3 years now.

the fight with quintana is not signed.. or anything.... we are gonna have to wait b4 giving him the props.....

[Ravishing]

No because if you saw the Collazo fight. You would know that a slick southpaw gave him HELL and arguably beat him in most people eyes. Quintana is better then Collazo IMO. And he hits harder so yes this is a HUGE threat.

I haven't seen enough Quintana fights (nor has anyone here really) post his KO from Williams that would make me think he'd be a big problem for Berto who's a much fresher, faster fighter. Quintana's always good competition, but that's exactly what is he...Good.

I see Berto beating him by UD.
