Comments Thread For: HBO Brush Aside Kotelnik: Eye Maidana, Jones For Berto

At least he didn't fight a Mexican retired cop to earn a title. Hell, that's more tainted than Cotto's vacant belt odysee.

LOL. Berto's entire title reign has been a joke.

Now if Berto wouldn't fight PWill at Welterweight because he was to big why in the hell would he fight a lesser poor mans version of PWill Berto only fights people close to his size and weight thats why he wanted Cotto because size wise that was a good matchup for him

Mike Jones is the better choice between the two.

if berto thinks this is just a stay busy fight he's made a mistake.

maybe this is mikes break out fight and he will be inspired.
and maybe berto will be looking past him.
jones is a big fast guy

Hmmm, sounds like HBO is pushing for a Golden Boy fighter to fight Andre Berto? I wonder if that has anything to do with Floyd Jr. flirting with signing with Don King! Belts and who is champion means nothing to HBO anymore, they are now trying to create their own in house fighters with their lover boy ODLH...

He's pretty tall and skilled, but when I watched him against Irving Garcia (I think... whoever he fought last), he just kind of lacked something. He was a bit lethargic.

I still think he'd beat Berto personally.

6 feet 0 inches at 147 lbs? Yeah that's tall. He and Paul Williams should go at it.

Hes good, definetly has some learning to do but he is still good.

He is tall and uses his height; good power with better handspeed; and he is a finisher.

The only problem he has right now is his jab is pretty lazy if he could pop it a little better he could really go places.

Do you think he's good enough to go up against Berto?

Forget about paper titles, it would be better for boxing if we as fans refuse to recognize or even mention any belt that isn't The Ring Champion.

There's already 4 "Champions", yet they're still handing out interim, Silver, Regular, and Super belts as if they were nothing. We don't have to recognize their corrupt garbage.

IF u ask me, Boxrec's titles should be the new official titles becuz Ring Magazine's rankings r crap.
