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

[The Big Dunn]

They beat each other's ass.

Most people like to forget the last round of that fight, where Collazo was doing nothing but getting beat in the face. 30 more seconds he would of been stopped.

True dat. But he really made me rethink Berto. Maybe he just had a bad day

[THE REED]

Clottey is a knuckle heat, but he has the style to make berto look very bad, and is more accurate, and stronger. Berto doesn't have single shot power so I could see Clottey doing a number to him if he doesn't go into cruise control. Up to this point the best fighter berto has fought is Collazo and its a fight he could have lost.

I see it this way, Clotteys only clear loss came from Pacquiao, and other than Mayweather no one beats pacquiao at 147. Clottey could lose, but he is better than Berto, his focus is what holds him back.

Clottey has the style to make himself look bad.

Clottey doesn't have single shot power either.

Collazo & Quintana, in which Berto looked in his best shape to date and completely annhilated him.


I see it this way... Clotteys best win is a Zab Judah who quit.

Clottey would lose, because he isn't better than Berto... ESPECIALLY because of his focus.

At the very least... Berto will fight his ass off to not lose.

Clottey will be content with it.

I guess were assuming that Margo has anything left.

He could be shot.

The Garcia fight didn't do much to convince me that he still got it.

I think if Berto fights Margo he could somewhat replicate what Mosley did against him,

It is true... we really don't know what Margo has left against the elite.

Not a chance, you do realize how hard Mosley hits right? And it took about 20 flush haymakers, and they were haymakers, a round, plus a relentless body assault that Berto is not capable of dishing out to get Margarito to wilt.

Also I don't think berto is physically strong enough to man handle and push margarito around the ring like Mosley did. Mosley used to be a body builder and is very strong.

You can use the Collazo fight as a gauge. Mosley was tossing Collazo around like a rag doll, and looked to be far stronger, where as Berto at times was being pushed and held on the ropes by Collazo.

yes we do. he has his bare hands whcih clearly isn't enough.

Berto has not earned 50/50 split with sugar shane if thats
the breaking point. A chance to win against a atg has a value
that is much greater that a couple more dollars today.a rematch
with collozo also would show that he is a class act.the way you
can tell if a fighter is for real is to look at who he shows respect to.

A different way to look at it is that Mosley just got a career payday of $12-$15 million vs Floyd.

"So what" if he takes a 50/50 split with a young champion to get back on HBO in a big fight? Nahmean?

If its true HBO paid him $3 mil to agree to move off the 1st fight, there is no reason he would take less than 50/50. he's sitting on some good money.

To each his own. I personally think Clottey beat Cotto, and it was comparable to Berto vs Collazo, which could have went either way. He could have beaten margarito if not for an injury. I am not very impressed with Berto, I really don't see what you guys see.

While I definitely agree with you on Mosleys power being greater than Berto.

I don't think Berto could quite handle Marg like Mosley did.

But at this point I now have to pull Mosleys stamina into question.

You are only as strong as the energy you have to use that strength.

Nah, that earmuff defense of Cotto isn't going to work well with Berto's explosiveness down the middle. Berto has a tremendous jab himself that is more explosive, faster, and more powerful than Cotto's. Cotto just has excellent timing with his jab.

Cotto is open down the middle, and if Berto lets go a few of those uppercuts he could drop Cotto for sure.

It would be no cake walk, so I am certainly not saying that... Berto would be in the fight of his life.

Berto has the better jab? I dunno about that one his jab looks just as bad as Mosley's. Like he just paws with it for the most part. I just can't see Berto beating Cotto. Also it doesn't seem like Berto can take body shots (judging for the Collozo fight) and Cotto can kill your body. Oh and if he tries to hold against Cotto he will get murked.
