if he's seriously entertaining the idea of doing this i will completely discount him as a player in boxing at any level.
he's not a world beater at any rate, but i would still consider him a stern test for top up and comers. if he goes to the UFC it's evident that he's all done trying to accomplish anything in boxing.
he can thank al haymon, though. berto's hbo run was a complete joke for quite some time. eventually he did end up in good fights. collazo, ortiz, and guerrero were awesome fights. ortiz was a terrific fight on paper that ended up being a great fight. guerrero wasn't, and neither was collazo, but they ended up being great fights.
I don't think he's seriously entertaining the idea. He just says don't be surprised if one day in the future he goes over to win a title there, but it doesn't appear like he's planning for it.
A kick has lot more range than a punch and is much more powerful. I'm an active amateur boxer while my brother does MMA and when we fool around and spar I could not do **** if he starts kicking. The range disparity is so wide.
Now imagine a guy like aldo kicking you with full force. Yikes!!!

Let's not forget him turning down the Cotto fight and pulling out of the Mosley bout.
Got no hate for Berto anymore though; he was in some damn good fights.
