    Mosley
    Cotto <- would move down
    Clottey
    Abregu
    D. Hopkins
    Aydin
    Collazo -> Berto can move up

    @ 154lbs.
    P Will
    Cotto
    Collazo
    Margarito
    Cintron
    Angulo
    You missed the whole premise of the question: What WW's can he fight? He has to defend his WBC Belt.

    At 154 there are plenty of people to fight at 147 not so much.

      Berto would only move at 154 for Cotto, but until May Pac talks are finished, that fight can't be made. Mosley doesn't want the fight anymore, he'd get criticized for fighting D. Hopkins, Abregu and Adyin, Collazo said he's waiting out his King contact, and Clottey would be a good fight, but I'm not sure HBO would pay for that. So...

        He has to do nothing of the sort. He has established himself as a player, he doesn't need that belt.

        What he needs are a set of balls and a paycheck. Unfortunately for him, he's going to have to grow a set of balls for a paycheck.

          Everybody cant say **** the belts like Floyd can. It must mean something to Berto.

          Berto doesnt have balls? The dude was just signed to fight Shane Mosley.

            They want to fight Cotto. Thats a tough fight that would give us an idea where he stands. Cotto may have other plans though.Its not like the guy is avoiding the tough challenges. The tough challenges are going after the money.

              Yea they can. They can do whatever they want.

              Berto, somehow, has HBO in his pocket. He doesn't need that belt.

              Two fights ago he fought ****ing Juan Urango. Come on now. Shane was a good step up fight, but now he's talking about fighting another JWW.

              And apparently, he's asking for 50-50 for Mosley again.....which is just crazy.

                You are absolutely right he did call out Cotto.

                  And he said he is willing to move up for it. This was posted on this very site and people act like he is avoiding these fights. They aren't available to him do to bigger money fights.

                    I think it has more to do with the jww being so full of talent that guys would rather move up and fight an easier match in their eyes then stay there and show who's the best.

                      Then he should rematch Collazo.
