    When you compare him to other American fighters he is maybe the most protected fighter. Sure, Europe has tons of them as protected as Berto but this is something that usually doesn't happen too much to American fighters. Berto should be ashamed.

      Yes, he is. I thought he was going to fight better guys after Quintana but now he's back to fighters who are really not on the same level, at least talent wise.

            People are gonna hate on Berto and rightfully so but he is still pretty talented. He isn't going to take down Mayweather or Pac or any P4P top rankings but he can still beat some solid fighters. Berto can beat a Cintron or Clottey but he is too afraid to try(or is it HBO).

              I hate Berto's guts with a passion, but let's not act like he's the only manufactured fighter being shoved down our throats. Dawson is a guy who fights with the kind of passion of a clap infected **** and HBO keeps shelling out millions of dollars for him to fight on their air. Berto at least knocks out cats and is aggressive when he has an opponent hurt. I can't knock that. Just wish he'd step up his comp.

                I think he is. I actually came to this conclusion a long time ago.

                I am not even upset with his choice of opposition any longer. I got use to it I expect this from him.

                  what is with all the HATE on Berto, he has called out EVERYBODY and none of them wanted to fight him, wanted to fight Cotto, wanted to fight Mosley and they all turned him down, what is he suppose to do? if he fights someone out of his division but is a better match up, most of yall would still complain, he wanted to go down to 140 for better competition and people was complaining about that

                  I actually like Berto, I think he has a ton of talent and like it or not he is the next in line behind Mayweather and Pacquiao in that Welterweight Division and I don't think it is just Berto himself fighting lower competition on purpose because he has reached out to TOP FIGHTERS at Welterweight and even at 154 and most of them have turned him down so what is he suppose to do? fighting Seluk Aydin (who ever the *** that is) wouldn't have been any better and neither would fighting Mike Jones right now would be any better because none of those fighters have done anything or beat anyone of significants, Aydin biggest win was a controversial one agains Jo Jo Dan, Mike Jones biggest won was probably against...Henry Bruseles??? WTF! so neither of those guys are worthy of a shot just like the guy he is getting ready to fight but that Welterweight division SUCKS now! most of them all moved up to 154

                  IMO Berto beats anyone and everyone that is CURRENTLY in the Welterweight division right now besides Mayweather and Pacquiao of course but the rest I think he beats

                    No doubt about it. He doesn't fight any serious competition.

                    Probably the best fighter he's faced so far was Quintana and I had Quintana ahead on my scorecard before the stoppage. So it's only a matter of time before a top fighter takes his title from him.

                      I wouldnt say I came thic conclusion a while ago.

                      This guy was signed to fight Shane Mosley. But ever since the Q fight I feel hes being protected.
