Reflection on things with Berto and boxing.

[Porter's Dad]

It was a terrible investment by HBO and every fan knew it. The HBO Berto BAD years were awful (he wasn't even in entertaining wars back then, he was just beating mediocre 140 pounders). HBO are only on the nuts of GGG, Kovalev etc now because of necessity - during the Berto years, these guys would have been straight up ignored.

[Thornton Melon]

People don't realize he had some decent opponents before he was signed to gbp and that was when he was in his teen at a time most pros are barely starting their careers. He just beat a guy everyone on here rated as the #1 fighter at jr. Middleweight , it wasn't a dominat victory but he showed great skills in outboxing trout and won a clear fight

Canelo's win over Trout was far and away better than anything Berto ever did.
