    People continually mock Cintron,but atleast the guy has taken risks in his career.Atleast Cintron is willing to take fights with dangerous opposition.Clottey can be frustrating as hell to watch,but he's shown that he can compete at the very top with his showings against Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto - a level that Berto hasn't come close to competing at.



    The guy's a six year pro,twenty seven years old and still being treated and protected like a prospect - and it's a disgrace.No true boxing fan has any respect for someone like Andre Berto - he exemplifies everything that is wrong with out sport.



    Pure hype is all he is.
    Yes all too often ppl think fast hands= boxing skill, for someone with the speed he has, he is hit unbelievably easy by slower opponents.

        Never rated him personally.The guy will get sparked when he steps up in class against a decent puncher.

          I'm sick and tired of this guy! He's got major skills/talent so let's see it on the grand stage!

            Former World Champs who have a pedigree for fighting and being competitive with the best is equal to WORLD CLASS IDIOT! Both of these guys have made millions of dollars in the ring....

            Let some of you guys tell it, Floyd and Manny are the only two world class fighters in the world...

                  World Class is Pac, May, JMM, The Klits, B Hop, Calzaghe, Andre Ward,
                  not Clottey and Cintron
                  neither one has won a big fight
                  they are in a class with Zab Judah

                    I already described it... World Class is a pedigreed boxer, a guy who competes on a high level against the best win or lose.... Both of these guys aré former world champs as is Judah whose now on the comeback trail....

                      yes the TS did do some boxrecing

                      Cintron is a Junior Middleweight now

                      I think Mosley is the best next fight for Berto
