I dont think Berto performs in any way at the higher level anymore. Leaving out his losses, where he took a significant amount of damage and which has shown us his flaws, he didnt even look good in his wins.
If my memory serves me right, he looked really bad and was outboxed and knocked down by Ortiz before Ortiz resorted back to being Ortiz.
Even in the Lopez fight he looked bad and was tagged by him.
Porter lost his 2 big fights, but was competitive throughout the fight. He also has a style which doesnt suit Berto at all. He swarms you, fights really close and gives you no time to reset.
I dont read to much into the knockdown, because Porter was forced to weigh in at 144, which probably weakened his ability to absorb a punch.
