Promoter Lou DiBella advised BoxingScene.com that WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto is ready to move up in weight to challenge Miguel Cotto for the WBA's 154-pound title on March 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Berto was under consideration to face Manny Pacquiao on May 7. The expected opponent, Shane Mosley, finalized a deal on Tuesday to face Pacquiao on the May date.

i saw berto vs luis collazo,and bertos defence and stamina does'nt look good at all...pac will ko berto in five rounds..

Mayo in March, Marg in July, and then Berto or Sergio. Sounds like a plan. Berto can fight in Cotto's undercards

The only problem with making big fights with Berto is the amount he gets paid. For bums he makes 1 million dollars so a fight against Cotto he is going to want 2 to 3 million dollars. Cotto is a superstar and also demands top dollar. I don't know if HBO is willing to put up the money it will take to get Berto in the ring with a superstar.

Yes, Berto was exposed by Collazo and it was even a robbery...But it's a right move to fight such super star like Cotto before fighting Pacquiao...or even Berto could mix it up w/ Mosley w/c he thinks already old, so this is his chance to prove himself worthy...

people wanna say cotto needs a tune up b4 margarito, **** that bull****. he hasnt fought since june, i wanna see him fight some1 good. 4get mayorga. gimme berto and then margarito. lets do this man, **** the tune up.

Not sure I wanna see Cotto run like a scared dog...kinda tired of watching him bail out like that...I used to love the guy, but he proved he was a "B" class fighter after running away from pretty much everyone, Clottey, Pac, Marg., Mosely... I think he beat Foreman...LOL...wow....! No matter who he fights, it will be dissappointing... I hope he fights marg...then we'll see it was not cheating when he loses again..then retire...

I'd rather see Berto face Cotto than Mayorga. I'd pick Berto by TKO mid/late rounds. His uppercut is his biggest weapon which also happens to be Cotto weakness. He's much faster also. Would be a bout in which Andre could silence some critics.

Dibella: I will not overprice berto on this fight

the glorified booking agent admits to overpricing berto for pac.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Both of these fighters have bad stamina imo,but I think Cotto has the better boxing I,Q..Berto has the speed,Cotto has the Power..Sounds like a good fight,but from what I know of both fighters I'm taking Cotto by KO in the 8th or 10th..
