    What else did you expect, boxing 2010 at it's best.

    BTW, Berto lost to Collazo and was losing to Quintana before he ran out of gas, did not look that impresive againts Forbes or Urango. These are B and a C level Fighters, once he gets in the ring with anyone with a pulse we won't care much about him anymore.

      Too Predictable

      Boxing is becoming too Predictable these day. I knew when I read that the WBC has order Berto vs Aydin. Berto promoter or manager was going to say HBO will not buy the fight. Read my comment in the other thread. lol

        Nice, I agree with everything you said.... I really don't understand why he is champion in the first place. In my opinion he's just a top ten contender at best....

          By approving mediocre opponents, HBO has acted like a promoter trying to build up a 'star'.

          Plus HBO doesnt care how many seats he can sell out, they care about how many people watch the fight on TV
          You don't see a correlation between the two? Id bet the only Berto fight to get decent ratings was the Collazo fight.

            Who even cares about Berto? I enjoy watching him but enough is enough, step the hell up.

            No one is going to give you a mega-fight.

            And someone from HBO really needs to explain what the hell is going on with Berto. I've never in my life seen a fighter treated the way HBO treats him.

                They wont alway a less then mediocre opponent in Aydin.

                All they care about is money, so they arent protecting Berto, they are protecting their own best interest

                  And they've done a horrible job at it, along with Dibella, seeing as Berto has no fans and is not liked by the majority of hardcore boxing fans.

                  But in defense of HBO they were pushing hard for Mosley-Berto twice and 1 fell apart and the other where Berto was asking for 50-50 (because he would've been paid less than what he got overpaid to fight Quintana). And Collazo turned down the rematch and Cotto supposedly doesn't wan to fight him.

                    how can you say that when he hasn't been given the chance yet

                    judging by shane's poor performance against mayweather i think had berto taken the fight he probably would've won if shane didn't knock him out early

                    he was very unlikely he had to pull out of that fight if he had of won you would all be riding his **** real hard right about now

                    i think berto has more going for him then people think he's extremely quick he has abit of power and he has heart plus he's undefeated so he is always going to be hard to beat i don't know why you lot on here are so harsh on him give him a chance to prove he's a worthy champion right now he just hasn't had the comp

                      nice rant. i think berto beats collazo easy in a rematch. i'd rather see him fight bradley is he wants a jww. bradley beats his ass in a savage beatdown.
