    I can't remember the round, but Quintana smacked Berto in the face with a HARD straight left in their fight. It was a thing of beauty. Cotto's left jab is a nasty weapon and seems to rock back a lot of guys (recently Pacquiao and Foreman), so I think a fight between these 2 would be a case of speed vs power.

    Berto has excellent handspeed, but he fights like a total idiot. He has a weird and inefficient stance, gives up way too much height, holds all the fucking time, leans back so much that his straight right has to over-reach in order to land, has very flat feet, poor footwork, and his jab is a blatant backhand.

    Meanwhile Cotto's handspeed is pretty ****ty (apart from his jab), but that power of his isn't to be messed with if you're not on PEDs. I think at 154 he could really do some damage to Berto if he manages to escape his holding tactics and keep a tight guard to deflect his quick shots. Berto has power too, but not on that level.
    I agree bro,Good post.

              Cotto would destroy Berto if they ever met in the ring.

              It would be a pretty good fight while it last though, mainly because Berto wouldn't miss too often, neither would Cotto. It would be similar to the Mosley fight, but with Berto getting broken down slowly and trying to buy time for a second wind that would never come. Cotto KO10

                    I don't think nobody is Agitated but "PEOPLE" are always quick to jump on this forum and just go ON and ON about what their favorite fighter or what the fighter they like the most, will do in a fight but they tend to overlook the other fighter or they try to DOWNGRADE the other fighters skills

                    I think this fight will draw a ton of interest especially since Puerto Rican fans who are mad at Berto for that questionable win against Collazo and the fact that he hasn't given Collazo a rematch
