Berto is in no way in hell can compare what Jr brings to the ring...can Berto even throw a LEFT HOOK!!!!??? i mean Berto only has speed and a right hand and.....................thats it!! Given this Berto is talented but very very flawed who was not tested ever..the only test he had was with collazo and struggled like crazy to win that fight...Ortiz is another good talented fighter but again very very flawed?? Ortiz comes in straight lines with hes Hands Down trying to out slug and brawl u that will only get u so far...as good as Ortiz fought that night with Berto in a Thrilla Ortiz didnt show me NO improvement in hes style other than showing he does have Heart!! but then again this is 'Vicious' Vic Ortiz either he KO's u or he goes down in flames the guy reminds me of Fernando Vargas in hes style he'll fight u in a no holds bar and give everything he has win or loose very exciting but doesn't win fights all the time..given that Jr gona box Ortiz and gona look like Ray Robinson in there

Mayweather is a different animal than Berto. Truthfully, though it's a better fight than May-Berto, which I presume was in the works prior to Berto loosing his O. Nevertheless, Ortiz is still green, and Mayweather is still Mayweather; which means he is still a defensive wizard, solid veteran, battle tested on the big stage, and then some. Mayweather will dominate Ortiz who was perceived as damaged goods, prior to facing Berto. Berto doesn't have half the skills Mayweather has, nor did he possess the same level of IQ. I'm surprised at this fight happening, yet Ortiz did earn it by beating the paper champ of 147.

The real difference is balance. Berto's balance is actually horrendous, and Steward was 100% spot on when he called him a "strange fighter." It's not normal for a guy with such shocking feet to hit that hard.
Floyd's is the most balanced fighter today....he hardly ever throws if he's not balanced.
