[rell ranks]

in my opinion berto should have taken the b-side in the mosley fight then from there on he would have been more marketable,theres no shame losing to mayweather hes just that good.maybe berto is thinking he will lose to shane?

...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.

Shane vs Cintron Pwill is bad.Rangey fighters will always give Mosley problems.IMO he should fight Berto Cotto or Angulo or JCC Jr.I see him winning all these fights.Berto is over Hyped he has not shown anything to make me believe he can tie Mosleys shoes let alone beat him.Right now I give Bradley a better chance to beat Mosley then Berto but if either fought Shane I see nasty kos for both of umm.

I think that's what he is thinking his team too.Shane is more rounded then Berto.Shane may not be as fast as he use to be but he is still fast and hits like a mac truck.Berto thought he was gonna get another gimmie fight but HBO is tired of putting guys in with lesser fighters it's time to show improve.IMO Berto should be in with Shane Cotto or Margas even Clottey will do but it's time to start taking risk.

Dibella is protecting this kid. And you know what? I aint mad at him, because if I was his promoter I'd do the same thing. He just aint that good. Lou is willing to match Martinez against the best, so that goes to show you he knows Berto's limitations like he did with Jermaine Taylor after the Hopkins fights until HBO made Taylor fight Pavlik.

Clottey wins every fantasy fight and loses every real one.

That is the truth!

I agree with Saucy jacky. Berto dont want to see collazo ever again

And what has Collazo been doing since that fight?

[Calilloyd]

Berto Needs to STFU. The breaking Point is that he wanted 50-50 with Shane? He is lucky Shane only asked for 60%, if he gets to fight Cotto he will be lucky to get 30%.

**** Berto's ****** ass, thinking he is worth lots of money!

You're just pissed because Berto beat Collazo. Shut up with your biased BS.

[Calilloyd]

What is this based on though? Berto digging deep to win a fight against a gate keeper where he was a 4:1 favorite?

Berto is easy to hit, has a questionable chin, and has stamina issues himself. A elite fighter really shouldn't have to dig deep to beat Collazo or look tenative against jr WWs.

I didn't see that in the Collazo fight. It was Berto who dug down and dominated that last round. Collazo was the one tired, hurt,and holding on.

There's a ton of talk about Cotto-Berto going on in Rafael's chat. I wanna see that fight sooo bad.

Rafael said Cotto-Berto is way bigger of a fight than Martinez-Williams 2.

What a bunch of bull****. It might bring in more money, but no way is it a bigger fight.

When the going gets tough, Clottey folds. He's a bully, that's all. He had the fight won against Baldomir and started headbutting just because the guy kept coming forward. look at the Gutierrez bout too. Against Margarito he started inventing phantom injuries because Marg kept coming forward as well. That's just how he is.

He was doing that against Cotto too. He had that fight. Cotto was tired and his eye was a mess. When Clottey got active he was punishing Cotto. And Cotto never hurt him. It's inexcusable for Clottey to let Cotto steal that fight
