Comments Thread For: Matthew Hatton: HBO, Schaefer Mentioned a Berto Fight

[AndyShitHot]

I wouldn't have a problem with this if Berto had been in a tough fight recently but he hasn't had a hard fight in over 2 years and that was the only tough fight in his whole career. Also he's now been a World Champion for nearly THREE YEARS!!! Make him fight somebody already. Matthew Hatton isn't even the best Welterweight in England, Kell Brook would destroy him.

I agree, if Berto had already had fights against some of the tougher guys at 147, such as Mosely, Cotto, Cintron, Williams, etc, then there would be no problem with this type of fight. BUT, he hasn't. It's been 1 Matthew Hatton type of fighter after another. Other than fighting Collazo, there hasn't been 1 fighter Berto's fought as a champ that had even a 10% chance of beating him - Forbes, Urango, Hernandez - c'mon. Ortiz isn't a terrible fight; but I'd still be very suprised if Ortiz won. Berto needs a challenge, and M, Hatton is not a challenge!

European welterweight champion Matthew Hatton was told by Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer, that he'll try to get him a shot at WBC champion Andre Berto, possible in the summer. Berto is going to defend his title against Golden Boy fighter Victor Ortiz on April 16. Hatton put on such a gutsy performance in his loss to Saul Alvarez last Saturday in Anaheim, California, that HBO wants to bring him back in another big fight.

Of course Berto is going to fight Hatton.This guy Berto makes me sick.Dude youve been a belt holder in the hottest division for 3 and a half years now HOW ABOUT IT,A TOP TEN GUY,GOD FORBID.I mean this cat HAS to be the most protected belt holder in the HISTOY of the sport.The real sad part is he fights NOTHING but jr welters moving up and STILL doesnt fight them,he hits then holds on ,hits then grabs on ALL FIGHT.I know that theyre worried about Bertos china chin,I mean when your dropped twice and almost kod in the ameteurs with the big gloves and headgear and when light hitting Cosme Rivera Drops you (I remeber during that fight on espn the announcers said Bertos kryptonite is his chin or lack thereof) YOUR TEAM is going to be extra cautious.Still how long are we supposed to wait for him to fight someone,in fact its HBOS fault that this bore who cant fill in 2ooo seats despite being seen on hbo by millions of fans still gets a million and a half to fight tomatoe cans.Remember when he steppped up and fought the number 10 WELTERWEIGHT in the world light hitting Collazo,HE got a big time gift in that one.Then he finally signs to fight Molsey ,who handled Collazo with ease, and im thinking he wont ACTUALLY fight this guy,well I was right with over 2 MONTHS STILL TO GO untill the fight Berto pulls out because his SECOND COUSIN died in Haiti.Margirito looses his brother an hour before a club fight for 500 dollars and he still fought, NOW THATS A WARRIOR.Now BERTO is saying Mannys fighting BUMS ,dude you sound like the clown you are ,Manny came up from 106 lbs he LITERALLY cant get higher than 150 lbs ON FIGHT NIGHT and hes still fighting guys that make you p**S your pants I mean we saw what happened with Mosley.Quick question for Andre ,why not reschedual the fight like Mosley wanted?Because you knew you were in over your head when you SIGNED to fight Mosley and you were looking for a way out or YOU WOULD have reschedualed.Lets look at Mannys opponents Cotto,Oscar,Clottey,Margirito-and in this corner we have Miki rodrigez,Noberto bravo,Michael trebant,Stevie forbes,THESE ARE TITLE DEFENCES!!!Before anyone says Manny weight drains guys ,whats Berto doing bringing them ACTUALLY OUT OF THEIR WEIGHT CLASS TO FIGHT A BIGGER DUDE IS WAY WORSE !!If HBO wants to flourish ,forget signing the fighters and just sign the fights-Berto,Popkins now Broner Andre Ward these HIT AND HOLD safety first fighters cant draw flys fans want action.

LOL...why am I not surprised?

[Gabilan]

Berto's opponents are such a joke. When the hell is he going to step up and prove that he deserves to be a champion. I don't even care if its not one of the established names, I just want to see him against a live opponent...

[amayseng]

this sounds unreal to some of you but my money is on hatton

he gave up 15lbs to canelo and had no firepower to keep him off

plus he withstood some devestating body shots and punches to the head

there were a few body shots that made me cringe on my couch and he took

them and kept fighting hard to the end

berto is very limited, i think hatton out boxes him
