I used to be of the mindset that Berto if he decided to leave Tony Morgan should seek out a coach that would help him improve defensively. I have come to realize that will never be who Berto is. For that reason I think Freddie Roach would be the guy that could have improved Berto's game. Give Freddie Roach a fighter with good hand speed and pop and you typically have success. I think Freddie would have Berto using his offence smarter and overwhelming opponents. Some ofR oach's pupils get criticised for lack of defense but they for the most part offensive whirlwinds. It may be too late for Berto to change who he is but I think Freddie would have had people feeling differently about him at this stage. Thoughts?Game
Berto and Roach would be an ideal combination

Berto needs someone to help his with his defense...and Roach obviously does not teach nor know a damn thing about defense........ever see one of his fights?Comment

If Berto had Floyd Sr that would be perfect for his style..sharpen his counters and get hit less while being more reserve with his offenseComment

I agree with all these post, in Berto I see a guy that has potential but with his age u have to wonder is he set in his ways but at the same time u know he has the potential to add to his arsenal.Comment

See this is where I was. Now from what I know of Berto I see him working with Sr and then going back to what he always done. Thats why I see Roach being a good fit for his skill set. Instead of throwing hard when there are no openings Roach would have him set up his shots. Berto doesnt seem interested in defense and I dont think a defensive coach will change that.Comment

I seen berto train and he is a beast physically, but he needs ariza to help his stamina. Food is a key for your body!
Berto needs to use more footwork.
Roach would be good for him along with the gym sparring.Comment
