Berto Should take a page out the book of Pacquiao

[M.I Truth ?]

Berto gets dumped on a lot here because he seems to lack some fundamentals that would seem to be basic. I have heard many refer to his style as one more suited to the amateurs. I think the problem s more with the approach than anything. I think he needs to have a mentality more similar to Pacquiao. See both guys have crazy speed and can punch. The problem with Berto is he tries to explode with big shots even when there are no openings. He continuously does it and it causes him to tire in some fights. The way Pacquiao uses his speed is more effective. Pacquiao allows his opponent to get a false sense of confidence. Once he gets them in an exchange he uses his speed and blindsides them. Berto would be more effective if he timed his aggressiveness with speed and uppercuts in exchanges where he can blindside his opponents. He need someone to teach him implement it.

agreed...Berto should grow a mustache

I agree with a lot of your statement except the punch part. Pac is an electric puncher and generates a lot from his legs. IMO, Berto is not a puncher. Sure some of his punches are pretty to watch but rarely do they seem(at least to me) that he really hurts the guy in the same sense that Pac can.

Berto should not try PEDs. He is already a good fighter.

There are plenty of Andre Berto's and Zab Judah's for all the Manny Pacquaio's out there. You can't teach heart, and you can't teach skill to students who don't have the IQ to learn the lessons.

Berto could use a top notch trainer though, the sooner the better. It won't make him Pacman but he could avoid being Zab.

If Berto could surprise guys with a punch like what Pac does he would be more of a finisher. Berto had a good KO percentage before he started fighting better quality opponents because he didn't have to set much up. When he started fighting guys with more class simple head hunting didn't get the same results.

Most people go down from punches they don't see coming in Bertos case you know what's coming but on occasion his speed accumulates to power. In the case of Pacquiao his left hand is a right handed fighters worst nightmare b/c it's coming from a different direction and it unexpected more often than not, not to mention Pac is like a damn stick of dynamite

All very true. Pac left can can put on ***** street in a split second. Berto throws a beautiful uppercut and some quick flashy looping shots. Imagine if he threw those when his opponents are not ready for them. He could definitely gets guys out of there. Because he always throws hard his opponents see it and stay ready for it. He needs someone to teach him to save those shots for the right moments.
