Comments Thread For: Berto-Ortiz Negotiations Hit a Wall Over The Catch-Weight

[johncods]

This is seriously a bitch move from Ortiz's camp. I know people are gonna come at me and say "Ortiz is a Jr WW" but on the real he's freaking huge and there is hardly any size disparity here, he's simply looking to gain an advantage. Either he wants to make a statement at 147 or he doesn't...up to him. Really doesn't make sense, especially for a guy who's more likely killing himself to make 140.

Why don't Andrea fight WW's or move up instead of picking on all these JWW's.

Berto should fight an actual welterweight or Ortiz should fight at welterweight. I actually give Ortiz a good shot at beating Berto.

As a matter of fact they might actually be the same size!

Its a ton of fighters that are "HUGE", so what? Berto needs to fight a REAL WW not a JWW that has looked like crap in his last few fights. Ortiz would get crush, size dont mean ****. Maidana KO'ed Ortiz...Berto would do the same. Berto needs to take on a real challenge, **** fight Clottey or someone...why is he ducking Cintron?

I read in a few places that HBO turned Cintron down as an opponent for Berto. They are still upset over the Paul Williams mess. They want him to rematch Williams.

Really, thinking about it...Berto is limited to whack options. It is what it is though, don't mind who he faces between Ortiz, Cintron or Clottey.

Its Berto's own fault in a sense since he picked on a JWW. He wouldn't have had this problem if he fought a legit WW.

100% agree, he has the right tools but because he doesn't have that mental strength, I'd confidently pick Berto to win, maybe by stoppage as Ortiz is known to run.

[BOLLOCKS]

They both should be fighting in their own weight classes feck this catch weight *****e.

[GRUSTLER]

Berto is ridiculous. This fight is ridiculous. Hey Berto! give Collazo
a rematch.
