There's serious consideration of matching Andre Berto with Randall Bailey.

    Dibella will do this fight in a heartbeat. Bailey can punch but he's not a versatile fighter. He's the kind of fighter u want to match with the top prospects to see if they are the real deal. But Berto is not a ***ing prospect anymore, he's a ***ing champion.

    Would HBO (Haymon Boxing Organization) pick up this fight? If they do, they are a disgrace to the sport of boxing.

    Berto should fight guys like Cintron, Clottey, Collazo, Mike Jones even Kell Brook if he wants the people to take him seriously. But I know that's not gonna happen. Dibella and Haymon know Berto is a KO waiting to happen and they wanna cash in big before its too late.

      The bold is real talk.

          Those are the same names I throw out when the Berto driver and passenger ask who should he be fighting. They try to justify bringing up 140 pounders and fighting the likes of Hernandez by saying he has no one to fight, but that's a joke.

          Collazo and Clottey are 2 fighters that would beat Berto up, win or lose, but they're at 154 now. Hopefully Mike Jones, Kell Brook, or Canelo Alvarez get a shot at Berto, either have a great shot at knocking him out, especially the last 2.

          Cintron would be a good opponent right now, he's proven himself to be better than Bailey and they're all under Dibella, but Dibella and Berto don't seem to want that fight. Why fight Cintron for over a million, when you can fight the smaller Bailey?

            I thought 2011 was Berto's coming out year. He was suppose to step it up. This is what he calls stepping up? It's obvious he's going to take the David Haye route, which is fight soft competition and beat them in spectacular fashion, and then let his mouth do all the hard work. He doesn't deserve to be a pimple on Pac's ass, let alone get the luxury of a huge pay day. If Berto pays his dues like every other fighter that makes big $$$ then he can have the big spotlight he craves. But beating up on these club fighters and then expecting a big fight to land in his lap is dumb.

                      So much for HBO's renewed mission statement then. I'm seriously starting to lend credence to the idea that Al Haymon has nudey pictures of the HBO execs or something.

                      As for Sergio, Sergei then Showtime!
