    He mentally breaks you down and rips you apart.

    Tough fight for TBE. I wish him the best but I am worried.
    Agree 100%. Fight will be much better than May-Pac. So PPV is worth at least 150USD. Anything under will be bargain. Cant wait..

      What style of fighters have given Berto problems??? Most are rugged straight ahead fighters who keep coming and wear you down. Does Floyd bring that to the table??? What type of fighters give Floyd problems? On a couple of occasions, rugged type fighters, but more so, boxers with fast hands. What gives most aging veterans who depends on reflex and speed the most problems? Fighters with speed. Manny had nothing to prove and received his biggest payday, so I question how motivated he was for that fight. Berto has everything to prove. He has blazing speed, power in both hands, and a great trainer in Virgel Hunter. Does that mean he pulls off the upset??? No. But this has Norris vs Leonard written all over it!!! I have studied Floyd's career and its a great one. And I have noticed something many probably ignore. He no longer takes a power shot well. The very few times Maidana and Manny got to him, his legs looked very strange. He was hurt twice against Manny I think the 4th and 9th rounds. But with his high IQ and experience, I don't honestly think Manny even knew it. I think this is going to be a much better fight than many are expecting.

        Dude do you have brain damage? Do you even follow boxing and study it?

        Or are you just trolling? I think so.

        End of thread.

                Such as DEFENSE.

                Of which, Berto has ZERO.

                NO defense, against the most accurate puncher of all time.

                Shall I also say, that Berto has about 4 rounds of 100% stamina... By round 5, he only has about a half a round of focus, and then he gets lazy and tired.

                What's Berto really gonna do? Outbox Floyd?

                At least GGG has size, strength, power, and aggression... and an undefeated fighters confidence.

                THey both lose... but berto is a joke.

                Also, berto is one of my fav fighters of the last decade.

                So you are saying that GGG would lose to mayweather because he won't be able to hit him? Personally that is what I think.

                The only fighters that beat GGG are Ward and Mayweather.

                  I agree. Berto vs 'The Best Ever' is almost a 50/50 fight. Even if Berto loses he's still in my top5 ATG.

                      His defense and endurance have always been his downfall, and always will be.

                      The Zab effect.
                      Zag gave Floyd more trouble in the early then Pacquiao did
