    Anyone else consider Berto a big Welterweight?

    I feel like the general consensus is that Berto is a small Welterweight...I don't see that at all.

    Berto is very thick, he may not be that tall, but he's taller than Cotto and much thicker than most WW's.

    I would venture to say out of Pac, Floyd, Cotto, and Shane that Berto is the biggest.

    Anyone else scratch their heads when they hear about Berto going down to 140 cause he's a small welterweight?...It's actually mind boggling to be honest.

    He's not small. He's just short. But like you said, he's thick.

    He probably weighs at least 60' on fight nights.


    But who cares? He's a dookie fighter.

          Last fight he came in on FN at 153 so no he is not a big WW because some SLWs come in weighing more than that.

            Yea, glad you agree with me.

            I know he's not going down to 140, I meant that I hear people talk about how it wouldn't be a big deal if he fought Bradley and Co. because he's close to their size being a small WW. I hear that and I'm like what the ****, he's huge!

              He came in big in some fights like the Callazo fight but he slimed down a lot against Quintana

                  As mentioned above, he fought at 160 in his first few fights. So yeah, he's a big welterweight and I'm wondering how he's gonna make 140.

                    he used to fight at 154 and he used to fight at Light Middleweight in the amateurs/olympics.

                    he's short though, so he should fight at 147 but you're right, I wouldn't call him a small WW he's built like a tank.
