Told ya Berto was a hype job..

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

don't be obtuse...

morales is a legend and maidana is a limited unskilled brawler

berto is an overpaid hype-job and was supposed to crush the mentally defeated ortiz.

there's a huge difference between the two fights and the two fighters.

You sound lame. Put on a pair of gloves before you talk **** about real fighters.

I would say look to resume,it will tell the story to why he is a hype job..Maidana fought Ortiz Cayo Khan Morales and Kottie..Berto resume is not even close to this..It really has nothing to do with race,imo that's a cop-out..

No, I'm pretty sure I'm right.

So show with proof that Berto has a better resume then Maidana..I'll wait for you to post Berto's resume..

I dont get why people are still hating on Berto. People complained about Ortiz as an opponent when I kept saying Ortiz is the real deal and that he will beat Berto.

He lost to a very good and determined fighter in a fight of the year candidate. Nothing top be ashamed about at all.

who has maidana beat? ortiz?? thats his best win...and it happened because, as u said, maidana quit. maidana isnt a hypejob...he is what he is. but berto is easily a better fighter than maidana.

Berto is the more talented fighter I don't know if he is the better fighter(we have to see how he comes back)but this is about resume not who has the better talent..Win or lose who has the best resume..

When Maidana won a close fight against Morales, you didn't see anybody calling Maidana overhyped. Despite the fact that everyone thought Maidana was gonna wipe the floor with Morales. Everybody just praised the fight and praised Morales for his performance after being the underdog, and people still think Maidana is a top 140 guy after struggling with a shot Morales.


Now, Berto was supposed to wipe the floor with Ortiz, but lost a close decision in a 4-knockdown, 12 round fight where bombs were thrown all over the place. Berto is overhyped, he'd lose to every one at WW, and he was never a champion. Yet it's much worst to barely beat a 2011 Morales than losing to a 24 year Victor Ortiz who outweighed Berto by 5 pounds on fight night and was clearly the bigger man, and nobody says anything about the fight just being a good fight and that both fighters gave us a fight to remember like they praise Maidana-Morales.

Are you kidding? Then you weren't even reading the responses to those threads. That's called "Selective reading". Ton's of people were saying "This just goes to show you that Maidana was a 'hype job'". But this has nothing to do with Maidana - and you seem to be deflecting from the point.

Some people are acting like the thread title reads "Berto is a hype job BECAUSE he lost to Ortiz" when, if people will actually read the thread, the word "hype job" was directed towards Berto because of his teams unwillingness to put him in there with worthy opponents and once he stepped up and took on better competition - he lost.

who has maidana beat? ortiz?? thats his best win...and it happened because, as u said, maidana quit. maidana isnt a hypejob...he is what he is. but berto is easily a better fighter than maidana.

See how this works? Someone deflects the blame off on to another fighter and then suddenly it's not even about Berto. The topic at hand has nothing to do with what another boxer has done and everything to do with what Berto hasn't done. Maybe if Berto had fought Maidana himself then you could compare the two, but that's kindof the point... he didn't.
