I hope this gets made.

I see a lot of people hatting on Cotto becuase his list of opponents are not of the best Caliber. This fight with Berto is not going to happend, Cotto had shoulder surgery shortly after the Foreman fight and logic would tell us thats why he has not fought in a while. Due to both those variables he needs a tune up fight before taking on any real contenders. Any one who dose not understand that, I dont know what to tell you.

I dont see berto beating cotto especially at 154..... good fight though but because of cottos schedule for 2011 i doubt he's fighting berto might be just mayorga but im still going to be laughing at that fight because its going to be a domination like cotto vs. gomez

[WESS]

the glorified booking agent admits to overpricing berto for pac.

Anyone that is not "selected" by Arum will get the label of "pricing themselves out".

Shyt son, that's all you have to say? Not Berto vs Cotto is a better match up than Cotto vs Mayorga?

they should do it in NY IMO, most of the Ricans from NY are still mad at Berto because of that Collazo fight so that fight would do GREAT in NY at the GATE IMO

this match is possible though, Dibella and Arum got together and made Pavlik vs Martinez happen so I think they can get this fight done...HOPEFULLY! But I still have doubt that Arum will make that call and really make an effort to try and make this fight happen, I think he keeps things "IN HOUSE" yet against and matches Cotto up with Vanes Martirosyan but we shall see

I don't know about all that. Collazo, though a dope fighter, isn't on PR's radar when it comes to full support of a fighter. Collazo's got fans in NY, but not necessarily a huge PR following, though he himself is Puerto Rican.

Nevertheless, Cotto vs Berto would be great! I'd pay for that.
