Berto is underrated, there I said it.

    Mosley just got his azz whooped. Why the hell it shouldn't be 50/50.

    Plus I see people like you bring up mike jones but also forget they ask for the fight twice and it was turned down. Tgats the fight I think should be happening.

      fuck Berto, he is properly rated lowly
      Berto has title belt for 2 1/2 years and does nothing with it
      best wins journeymen, Quintana and Collazo
      and Collazo got ripped off on that decision
      Berto has some talent but deserves no more credit than he gets

        Mosley would have been the draw he just came off of the biggest PPV that yr..He got his ass handed to him yes,by(who most believe)the best fighter in the sport..Berto has not even fought a top 5 WW he did not deserve 50/50..Not to mention a win over Mosley and we would most likely be getting ready to see Pac Berto on May 7..

        I never heard a fight between Berto and Jones being discussed..I also want you to understand a fighter/promoter saying they want a fight and them really trying to make the fight a reality are 2 different things..But I agree I would have rather been getting ready to see that fight right now..

          The way Berto fights is actually very tough to deal with, just because it is not always pretty does not mean he lacks skill or is not effective.

            I'm a fan of berto, he is still an unfinished product and at least he seems like he's trying to get the bigger fights now. But I'll say it and I'll continue to say it, he's never gonna be a major draw until he figures out how to fight without all the damn hugging. He's not going to develop any kind of serious following until he cleans that **** up, no one, and I mean no one wants to see that crap. Not when they're shelling out money anyway. If dude wants to be a superstar, he needs to get that stuff under control. And he's not "underrated", he's pretty much rated right where he needs to be given who he has/hasn't fought.

                IT DOESN'T! nor do I agree with IT but that is just how it is, it is so many boxers who hold titles and really don't fight ANYBODY but they don't get bashed like Berto does, people always bring up the amount of money HBO is paying BERTO, they do IT ALL THE TIME...AT LEAST on this FORUM

                    What does Mosley fighting Mora(who is that again)have to do with a young lion vs an old loin..I can see you gonna continue to make excuse for Berto,just know when we don't get good fights it's because fans like you find excuses to why a fighter should not fight another..

                    I don't know what Bob would have done had Berto beat Mosley and neither do you,but he would have had a better case then his best win being over Collazo(lol)..As an up an comer Berto would have been wise to take less money(would have still been his biggest payday)fight a name to try to make a name for himself..Instead he fights Hernandez(that did wonders for his career)instead of a living legend..Hmm wonder why??

                      Who is the next fighter's balls you are gonna suck just because they represent the red, white and blue? Tavoris Cloud? Lol.

                      First Dawson, then Alexander, then Kirkland (Although I actually thought he was good) and now Berto. I guess now it's time to get Victor Ortiz in your av now too along with Guerrero.
