    Andre Berto is a courageous warrior and deserves to be praised for it

    Sure he was Al Haymons hyped fighter who got overpaid for fighting journey man on HBO, but regardless what you think of him or his flaws, the kid has no quit in him and has been humble to the fans. He went to war with Collazo, with Victor ORtz, with Guerrero, and with Soto Karass and never quit.

    He tried to entertain only to get crapped on for getting knocked out, the kid is slurring the crap out of his words in the post fight interview for crying out loud.

    Bert isn't an all time great by any means but his heart is one of the biggest in boxing whether we like it or not we have to be unbiased here.

    Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!


    People love complaining about him getting million dollar HBO contracts, but he takes a beating like a man, and never runs or *****es out.

    I want him on my side in a battle.

    Hopefully we don't fight any Mexicans though.

      Yup, I don't get it. for me I respect warriors guys who will go out on their shield, Berto never shows any quit in him at all.

      Berto is a warrior but people never say oh damn what a warrior, they hate on him, I kinda feel sad for him, he gives his heart and soul in the ring only to never get any praise for it.

        I've been one of his biggest critics from day one but it was more about not living up to the hype he was getting.

        He definitely has the heart of a warrior though.

          On here perhaps, Shotime praised him all night.

          Personally, Berto lost me with his positive test for nandrolone.

            This is why these guys shouldn't fight for the "fans". At the end of the day they don't really give a ****.

              This is the biggest reason why he doesn't get any respect, and I honestly can't defend it.

              Still though, he's a roided up warrior. AKA Evander Holyfield.

                  Definitely. I think he deserves another seven figure purse against a gatekeeper.
