      Side note: those punches Canelo threw are just plain ugly..
      That is the fight i want to see

        So crazy. You read my thoughts exactly. Been thinking this same thing last night and most of today. Was gonna make a thread regarding how much broner and berto are similar.

          I can't believe he was getting stunned by that groggy fool he fought. Berto's chin must be made of tissue paper at this point.

            He was the original Haymon hypejob.

              He's made a ridiculous amount of money considering his skill and ability level and considering who he's beaten.

              He should milk all he can, get knocked out one more time then ride off I to the sunset a rich man.

                Disagree...he did fine considering the layoff. Look at how his body language changed in the middle of the 3rd round, he got some confidence back. His jab looked great and he used it for most of the fight, just a few rounds he fell away from it.

                Yeah, he'll lose again at some point.. but it's going to happen in a war and he will get chances himself to win such a fight. He wants to avenge some losses, not a bad idea to get some respect back. Don't count the dude out..he's chinny but never quits.

                  I'm gonna bump dis thread every time Berto wins a meaningful fight. He looked very sharp at times last night and he looked rusty - expected after a 13 month layoff.

                    the ortiz fight was a bonafide classic. if i didnt' have to babysit my parents' dog and cat that week, i would have gone to that fight.
                    Great fights all of them. I don't think Berto is done, I think he can revive his career and become a true contender again.

                      Berto's been done for sometime..I hate to see fighters like this,with all the talent yet no work on their crafts..Berto's footwork has never got any better his stamina has never got any better and his defense never got any better..He has heart tho,can't take that away from him..
