    Berto's Problem is the Gap

    Berto's problem is one that I've seen too often in pro and amateur boxers which is the Gap of how Good they think they are to how good they actually are.

    A famous line is" A man has to know its limitations" and Berto's downfall in his career so far is fighting like he is better than what he actually is, if he actually adjusted and stopped thinking he is the illegitimate child of Tyson and Ali he may be a smarter more successful fighter and actually be closer to what he think he is.



    Ps: After seeing the scores there was a robbery in the making agreed?.

      His real problem, is he can’t beat Mexican fighters, ready to make a fight ugly.

        Berto's problem is that he's a good athlete that thinks he's a boxer.

          I agree, even after the Guerrero fight he was talking as if he was on Floyd's level. How can you improve a fighter who doesn't think he has flaws?

            His chin is a huge problem too. He'll start off OK, and then he'll get clocked and it sets him back. Look at the way Thurman's chin held up tonight. I guarantee Berto would have lost to Chaves and got hurt badly in those early rounds.

                    Yeah but he gets hit with shots that he shouldn't and not 1 or 2 but alot like that fking telegram 2mph wild hook Karass hit him with in the second i think. It was all downhill after that.

                    Yeah you got my point you cant improve your game if you think youre already the second coming of Jesus Christ as a boxer.
