EVERYONE agrees that he needs to change trainers. But lets see him against an orthodox fighter with a recent fight under his belt first...
Andre Berto's potential has been reached.

Well I dont know why I wanted to watch him today...
But i did.
Ever since saw him fight for the first time he looks exactly the same.
1. He doesnt know how to fight on the inside.
2. He doesnt move his head.
3. Hes flat footed.
4. He doesnt protect his shaky chin. (A shot Quintana hurt him in that fight)
5. He doesnt go to the body well.
6. The kid has no defense at all. Just zero.
7. He sticks his chin out in the air when he punches.
8. Even with all his speed he can still be beat to the punch. (Forbes, Quintana, and Collazo showed that).
9. He only has one good punch. The uppercut.
10. He has terrible timing and accuracy.
He could be so much better. He has great physical traits like Speed, and okay power. But his best attribute is his strength. Dude is dumb strong. He literally just mauled Quintana like a Lion. If he could string all his attributes together and learn how to **** on the inside rather then clinch hed be a force. Hes stuck in his ways.
Hes peaked.
He relies way too much on his athletic ability to beat opponents, unless he can get outside that box and become more polish, he will never improve. He is as fast, powerfully (insert whatever physical tool he possess) etc, so he is at his peak athletically. To take it to the next level, again he has to put in the word as far as mastering the technical side, something I don't see due to me feeling he is just content with his physical gifts. I hope he puts in the work, but I highly doubt it, and look for him to get exposed when he steps up against an A class fighter.Comment

Berto ain't the master boxer, but he came back against a southpaw in Q who was still good on a 11 month layoff tearing his left bicep early. And he still won by KO. He's targeting Cotto if he beats Foreman, and I think he'll shock a lot of people...Comment

Hell no. Just wait till Amir grows into the 147 limit. Amir will kill him. Berto is like a dumb beast. I heard people here say he was slick and ****. And then when I watched his latest fight I was like. Lol, this guy isnt slick. He barely belongs in the top 10 WW division. Not impressed at all. His power is overrated btw.
