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

[-Antonio-]

I still really want to see this fight. I understand why Mosley would be opposed to it right now though. He deserves a soft fight, if Mora is even soft...

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!

Better defense? When Yuri DID decide to throw and not dance around the ring, he hit Cotto flush every time.

That looked like the Cotto I've always seem, but he looked a lot stronger at 154.

He hit him flush from what I remember like 3-5 in that fight. Most of those hits were when Cotto himself was beginning to throw.

Well many scored it the other way. Cuts happen its boxing. Most elite fighters can fight through it, like Marquez does every time he fights.

You can favor anyone, but styles make fights, and Bertos style is not suited for a guy who is very hard to hit, is stronger than you, and is more accurate the few times he lets his hands go.

Styles do make fights, and Berto is favored over a guy who his unwilling to let his hands go and do what it take sto win rounds and win the fight... If they gave points away for blocking alone Clottey would be the lineal WW champion by now. When it comes down to the wire... and it's 5 rounds a piece... I'm taking Berto to do everything in his power to let his hands go and win the championship rounds over a Clottey who is content with blocking and looking for 1 or 2 clean shots.

Unless he knocks Berto cold out, he loses.

He hit Cotto more than 5 times. Re-watch the fight. When Yuri decided to throw, Cotto got tagged. Especially near the end when Yuri was basically a wounded dog in a corner... he bit back and Cotto got hit with everything he threw.

Fortunately for Cotto Yuri couldn't punch himself out of a wet kleenex.

I hope Cotto fights him. Would be a good fight, and Cotto would probably win by TKO.

[HARLEM AL]

Clottey wins every fantasy fight and loses every real one.

Lmao. You a funny azz dude.

Smh @ giving credit for almost winning.

[Rome-By-Ko]

This is utter bull**** how the hell should Berto get more money then Mosley??Who did he beat to demand anything from a future HOF??Its not like Mosley just lost to Clottey or Callzo.He lost to Mayweather one of the best fighters of this era.This sounds like a duck or a ***** move IMO.I pray he gets Margas or Cotto both fights I see him getting stop in.If he fights Shane he gets stopped him and his promotion team knows it.

good point. Clottey is alot like Brett favre is right now. You just know in the big game when it gets late he's throwing a pick.

You know in a big fight clottey is giving away rds 10-12, the "championship" rounds!

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.
