    How would you see an Andre Berto - Miguel Cotto fight playing out?

    In Cottos prime I would favor him, pre or post Mosley... Now I am not so sure, I think Bertos handspeed could cause problems for the Puertorican.

    Could you see this being a match up in the future? Or do you think Cotto will not come back down to 147, if he beats Yuri?

    Thanks.

      Right now Berto wins in my eyes, Cotto hasn't looked good in along time.

        Berto is ****. If Cotto looks good against Foreman I would favor him by UD over Berto. Berto is too wild and to wide for a guy like Cotto.

          cotto said he would be fine with moving back down to 147.

          but TBH, i don't know how much cotto has left in the tank.
          we'll see tomorrow.

          it'd still be a competitive fight nonetheless, i could tell you that much

              Should Cotto win, this fight's likely to happen. And should it happen, I think Berto would surprise a lot of people. It would be a great fight.

                The stuff that makes him supposedly suck wold win him the fight IMO, his hitting and holding would frustrate Cotto almost without question, he has better stamina has more confidence and has faster hands, right now today i would favor Andre berto.

                  I definitely wouldn't sleep on Berto in this match-up.

                  I'd actually favor Berto slightly more because he's more fresh, and I could see him outworking Cotto. As long as he doesn't get careless I could see him pulling off a decision at least.

                    I think it's a 50/50 fight right now.
