    Hmmm...I wonder how much it was...and how it compared to what Berto would make...I bet the difference would be smaller now and if what he gets would be a bit higher then he would take it

      I think the reason boxing doesn't get the best matchups is what we see here. Once a fighter looses all of a sudden he's exposed. Even if they show heart and resilience and other great qualities we love in fighters it looks like we can't help but call the over rated, exposed or bums when in fact they're good fighters who lost to a better fighter that night. JuanMa, Berto, Kirkland, Lemieux, Marroquin and Perez are all good fighters who lost to a better man that night. It doesn't make them bums. They're all good fighters who just happen to loose a fight. They can all come back like Khan, Ortiz, Vic and others who have lost. Imagine if whane Pacquiao, Morales, Marquez, Khan, Maidana and others were bums when they lost a fight? We would have no good fighters...
      That's the best post I've read on here in a while. All this nonsense about "exposed", "over rated", "bum", that **** is beyond ******ed. Not every fighter in the game can be the BEST fighter in the game. What happened to dudes being damn good but not great? What happened to athletes having an off night? It's like if your not the very ****ing best, your trash. It takes away from our sport and it takes away from the men laying it on the line for our entertainment. Ali would have been a washed up bum piece of trash if he fought today.

        agree @ the bolded. people would be calling him a bum, an ingorant person. all type of stuff. especially with all the trash talking he did.

          I just looked on Luis Collazo's website and it says that Andre Berto turned down the rematch.

            That is interesting that he would post that...Wonder if it is true or false. Maybe DiBella would know the answer
