      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.
      Cotto is 5'8", Berto is 5'7". And someone mentioned that he fought as high as mw, that was in the amatuers, or possibly very early in his pro career. He could make 140 if he tried, depends on where the money is. He is smaller than a lot of welterweights.

        Right in between. He's not too small and he's not too big.

              Yeah, he's pretty thick. I think he started his career at middleweight.

                I consider him a terrible fighter.

                  I agree, I always thought his torso was huge for a WW
                  and I have a hard time imagining him going down to 140

                      The size of his balls take about five pounds off of him. So yeah, I'd be inclined to say he's not really a very big Welterweight.
