Comments Thread For: Berto vs Mosley Was Being Pushed By HBO, Says DiBella

[Chief2ndzOnly!]

I'd love Berto - Mosley, Cotto, Margarito, Bradley, hell even Clottey, or a rematch with Collazo.

All of these are good solid fights Reed. I'd love to see any combo of 'um.

[FLY TY]

I want to see Berto-Cotto because we know Cotto is going to get more physically than Berto's past opponents. I'm eager to see if Berto has that dog in him.

hopefully dibella wouldn't kill it by asking for a 50-50 split....

Berto is a boxer who lacks skill.Makes alot of misstakes gasses late in the fight and is a hype job imo.His last 4 to 5 fights tell his story.He beats Ricky Martin for the WW strap.Then fights Collazo who IMO beat his ass.Forbes what a stink fest.Then Urango a hug fest.Then Carlos which he showed no growth or skill.He did not take the Mosley fight because he is not ready for an animal like Mosley.I doubt we see him fight any real beast he put Margas and Cotto names out there but I don't think he is going to fight umm.Berto = Khan IMO

if khan wants no part of bradley, maidana, or alexander, he won't fight berto either.

At this point in time, and based on Mosley's last performance, Berto has puncher's chance to beat Shane. If he does win, it'll likely be by decision.
And that's if Shane hasn't slipped further since the scrap with Floyd.

Shane looked bad in his last outing, but to his credit finished on his feet and
was fully conscious. He has a sturdy chin. He was simply shut down by Floyd's defense and offense.

Berto hasn't impressed me much. He still has potential for improvement, but that's it. Mosley's name on his resume won't be a bad thing.

october 2 seems to be a date HBO wants to fill and it would be good to see Berto fight Bradley then.

[ShoulderRoll]

Berto should take the titles off of Zaveck and Senchenko without HBO money.

He could easily beat those guys. Once he has 3 belts around his waist it will make it hard for people not to take notice and pay him appropriately.

Berto/Mosley w0uld be interesting fight if it ever happens..

...But if Mosley still plans to continue his boxing career, I don't think Andre is the right guy to fight, it is just too risky for a boxer his age. Sugar's only advantage over Berto right now, is his experience. His disadvantages are obvious.
Mosley should fight guys like Cintron or Bradley or move-up and fight Chavez, these guys are not as explosive as Berto but likes to slug it out at times and these 3 guys do leave themselves open when they counter punch most of the time..just perfect for Sugar.
Another loss for Sugar will be the end of his boxing career and KO loss will definitely put the exclamation mark.
But knowing GBP, they will probably make this fight and put Shanes career in jeopardy, But the fight would be interesting, a comeback match against one of the hardest hitting explosive WW against the use to be one of the hardest and quickest WW of all time.

I put both of those fighters together cause they are both hype jobs not cause I want to see umm fight

Of course...Berto thinks he deserves.
