Berto is underrated, there I said it.

Nope, there is no secret message in this post. Berto is just an example because of his fight tonight but it can go for many fighters in the sport. It's fine to criticize fighters due to inactivity or less than stellar resumes but to just disregard skill is ignorant. I have never been a Berto fan but I do acknowledge the skills and actually think when the two all time greats are gone that he could be the best in the division.

What skill?

Tonight just proved a lack of it.

Berto is just physical attributes with not a single elite name on his resume.

I'm saying it now and I want to be on the record for it. Andre Berto is underrated. Yes, I understand that his career has been frustrating thus far but lets not discredit a fighter simply because he has yet to fight a top tier fighter. Berto is young, has plenty of time to prove himself, and prove himself he will. The hate he gets is warranted but it does not diminish his skills.

I have always felt out of all the contenders at 147, Berto stands the best chance against the two headed animal, known as Mayweather and Pacquaio. I'm not sure he would beat either one but he brings a different style and his skills offset the skills of the other two. For example in the Cotto V Pacquaio fight the speed was overwhelming but in a Berto V Pacquaio fight, Mannys greatest asset the punches that you don't see coming would be offset by Bertos speed. There's more reasons why Berto would be a better challenge than Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, Mosely etc etc. but I think you understand my point.

I have no problem with demanding top fighters to fight the best but just to discredit them is wrong. Bertos skills are top notch and if he applies himself he can be one of the best fighters in the world. He has the skills and the "it" factor, now he just has to go out and get it.

He ducked Zavec, defended against JWW's, arguably had already lost agsint one and got dominated last night against a non top 5 JWW.

What is Berto to you know??

Water and air are overrated as much as Berto is underrated.

Lamont Peterson should move up and school this fool named Andrea Berta, who wanted 50-50 with Shane Mosley.

Berto's skills are rare and excellent... Problem is you can't teach CHIN. He and Khan both have that problem... They mistake HEART for CHIN. Heart doesn't mean you can eat a punch good. They happen to have heart but no chin. I think Berto is underrated by his critics and overrated by his fans.... he is somewhere in the middle. No matter what he should be a top 5 or 6 WW. If he is not, you're doing something wrong... I got Vic at 4 behind May/Pac/Shane... Then I got Berto behind him... Unless we include Cotto at 147

TS's brain is overrated, there I said it.

He's especially underrated now. People think he is garbage but he could easily get another belt by whipping up on Jan Zaveck. Lets go!
